General Info |
|
| |
The Mill is a handsome mid-nineteenth century converted 'moulin' situated on the Auvezere river, together with its own island. Cars are parked cars on the gravel driveway between the house and the river, and you enter the house up some outside stone steps. Whether you are a couple wanting a complete escape or a group of 10, renting Le Moulin de la Crouzille will give you a very special holiday in idyllic rural France. Situated on the banks of the Auvezere river, the beautifully converted buildings offer privacy and seclusion at a very high standard. |

Exterior Details |
The large swimming pool and 3.6 hectares of garden and fields provide plenty of space to run around. With our own island on the river, there is an abundance of wildlife and places to barbecue. The lovely swimming (12m x 6m) is a short walk from the dining terrace, through a garden gate onto the paved surround. The sun-loungers sit beneath the field line and within the clipped beech hedge surround, offering complete privacy from every direction. The pool house is a separate outbuilding on 2 floors with a separate loo and changing area with a galleried terrace to escape to. The mill sits in 3.6 hectares of land with only the rooftops of the nearest hamlet visible.

"Pls forgive my delay in raving about your gorgeous home in the shadow of Historic Hautefort and Excideul. What a spot, and what a beautiful job you and your wife have done with your additions and decorating. We asked Matthew for a blow by blow of what it had been, and what the changes had been over the years. It is simply a charming, charming place, and we loved every second." - Pat M
