OUT AND ABOUT:
A short walk takes you to the village of Folles, with its bar/restaurant, hairdressers, church and post office, while 20 minute drive takes you to the towns of Bessines sur Gartempe and La Souterraine. Bessines has a small lake, with a walk around it and a small play area for children and a beach area. Both towns have supermarkets, cafes and restaurants.
About a 10 minute car drive will take you to Lac du Pont a l’Age, a lake which is good for walks, picnics and fishing. Further afield, Saint Pardoux is a very large lake, where parts have been turned into beach areas, with many facilities such as pedalos, swimming and cafes, but also canoes, sailing boats, water-skiing and windsurfing are available.
Limoges is approx. 40 minutes drive from the house. The old town is full of character. Wander through the famous Meat Market, and then visit the museums and world-famous porcelain shops.
SUITABILITY NOTES:
The house has no bath but there are 2 showers.

Thank you for your review. We really appreciate you taking the time to submit it. Its always pleasing to know when visitors have had a relaxing time.
Fantastic Fortnight
By Damian on 26-Jul-2024We had a fantastic stay at Moulin, the house was very well equipped with everything thought of with some thoughtful touches. The beds were very comfortable and the kitchen had everything that you would need. It is located in a quiet, peaceful part of France so is ideal for a complete switch off from the hustle and bustle of daily life. Plenty of outdoor space to enjoy with opportunities to fish in the river at the bottom of the garden. Outdoor furniture and BBQ were ideal for eating and spending time outside enjoying the brilliant weather we had, possibly too hot on some days! Would certainly recommend it and would look to stay again.

Quiet and comfortable
By Richard on 08-Jun-2024A very well presented and comfortable gite. Shame about the poor weather and sometimes dodgy TV signal but they didn't prevent us having a relaxing stay.

Thank you for your review. It’s unfortunate that you had such unseasonal bad weather, which affects satellite TV reception badly. We hope you enjoyed watching some of the DVD films. We're pleased that you had a comfortable and relaxing stay. Gill
Loved the privacy and peace and quiet
By Paul Dwyer on 27-May-2024The house was easy to find and in stunning order, Everything we needed was available. It was comfortable and relaxing. We did have neighbours but they were very nice and accommodating. We would love to come here again and I would recommend Le Moulin De Boirot to people who just want to get away.

Such a lovely quiet location
By Paul & Nethan on 04-Aug-2023We stayed with our four children, ages 13,10 and twin 5 year old girls. They loved playing in the field and we loved taking them for walks and to the water park lake at saint perdoix. Such a great location and really helpful owners and they had a great lady who was on hand for anything we needed. We got very delayed and she met us close to midnight to let us in. Five star service. Thank you for letting us rent your lovely holiday home… it truly was kitted out with every spoon, fork, glass and utensil you could ever need.
