An 18th-century watermill with millrace and pond, now a smart B&B with a swimming pool and pretty gardens, run by charming English hosts

Jo and Steve have thought of all the little touches that make a holiday sing: fluffy robes and a generous tray in your room, a comfy sitting room with a wood-burner, pretty gardens and a pool. Relax in your big bedroom with its gleaming en suite and verdant views, take a book out to the vine covered pergola, watch the birdlife on the mill pond. It's utterly peaceful here: a place to seek solitude and recharge.

Wake to hearty continental breakfasts with homemade bread and jams. Book a four-course supper with aperitif and amuse-bouche; veg comes from their productive potager and they showcase lots of regional ingredients. Your hosts will join you, and any other guests, so it's a convivial affair.

You can walk or cycle from the door, pop to the nearest hilltop town, Cordes-sur-Ciel, for a meander. For a less sedate experience there's kayaking and horse riding, any number of vineyards, and buzzy Toulouse is a short train ride away.

Local points of interest from Joanna & Steve Pendered:

Puntos de interés sobre la región de
Joanna & Steve Pendered:

  • Le Moulin is close to the historic hilltop villages or Cordes sur Ciel, Castelnau de Montmiral and Puycelsi. The lively city of Albi with its impressive cathedral and Toulouse Lautrec museum is an easy drive away through beautiful scenery.
  • Local markets, full of interesting produce, provide a great opportunity to sit at a nearby cafe, practice your French on the locals and watch the world go by.
  • Situated in the famous Gaillac wine region of France, many vineyards offer wine tastings and magical apero-concerts set amongst the vines and under starry skies. Local villages hold their annual fetes with live music, dancing and plentiful food and wine.
  • What about an early morning ride in a hot air balloon for an unforgettable holiday experience?! Or an afternoon hike with a donkey? We can arrange all of these activities for you. Or you can simply relax around the pool!
  • Le Moulin hosts a large variety of wildlife including deer, red squirrels, kingfishers, woodpeckers and herons. Frogs, dragonflies and a countless number of bees and other pollinators inhabit the lake and gardens of Le Moulin.
  • Joanna is a passionate gardener. The potager, orchard and flower beds are run using permaculture and no-dig methods of gardening. Homegrown produce is frequently found on the dinner table at Le Moulin.
