Hello Lisa
So happy that you enjoyed your stay in Rouge with your Mum. It was great to hear about your SA connection. Happy that you managed to see many of the local sights even though your stay was short. It would be a pleasure to host you again any time.

The great escape
I escaped to Moulin de Malecoste for a long weekend, and it was so much more than I could have hoped for. The Moulin, situated in the serene country side of Cazillac, provided for my every need. I stayed in Bleu, a charming, comfortable converted barn, with all the necessary amenities laid out tastefully. The lovely hosts ensure you get the most out of your trip by providing local tips on the area, markets, places to see, things to do, etc. I wish I had booked for longer. It really was the break I needed, and will definitely be back in the near future! Thank you Heather and Moulin de Malecoste

Nous vous remercions vos compliments et nous sommes très heureux que vous ayez apprécié vos vacances au Moulin de Malecoste. nous espérons que vous avez visité certains châteaux, ainsi que des villages anciens comme Rocamador, Sarlat, Martel, Turenne, Loubressac et les nombreux bons marchés proches de la Moulin. nous espérons que vous reviendrez bientôt.
Nous avons passé une semaine de rêve dans le gîte Rouge du Moulin de Malecoste. La location est magnifique, au calme avec un parc très reposant, l'intérieur est joliment décoré et il y a tous les équipements nécessaires. Tout autour, la campagne est magnifique avec de très beaux villages et châteaux à quelques minutes en voiture du moulin (15 min Turenne, 20 min Martel et Collonges la Rouge par exemple). Heather et Fiona sont des hôtes très attentionnées et très disponibles sur WhatsApp par exemple (il vaut mieux échanger en Anglais plutôt qu'en Français avec elles par contre) . Au final, je recommande fortement cette location.

paradise in france
the property is a beautifully sympathetically converted barn with high class finishes located in the French countryside surrounded by farm land and small villages and places of interest. it offers complete tranquility for those seeking to relax and unwind whilst offering many activities for those more energetic soles including hiking ,riding ,canoeing.
Pleanty of local restaurants and food shops to take advantage of the Braai's at the property.
The accommodation was spotlessly clean and matched the material received prior to making a booking.
Of particular assistance was the information folder which provided much very useful information in relation to the area and services ,market days etc.
I would most definitely recommend the accommodation to anyone looking to stay in this area of France.

Spacious & Charming, 5 star accommodation in great location!
This bright, spacious and well furnished cottage in a country setting has everything one requires for a fun relaxing holiday. We did not want for anything, it has the charm of an ancient building but has been tastefully modernized and well equipped for modern day living .
it is well situated for all the sightseeing in the area but also is a place to relax and "chill out". We visited Collonges-La-Rouge, Rocamadour, Souillac, Martel, canoed on the Dordogne river and even cycled around the area with bicycles provided by the owners. Wonderful markets, good restaurants in close proximity. We will definitely be back.

About the host
Hosted by Heather
We are fun loving South Africans who are "Francofiles" loving everything French. We love meeting new guests and introducing them to the French countryside and way of life.
Why they chose this property
We love the stone, characterful architecture of the surrounding villages, the green hilly scenery the closeness to the Dordogne river as well as all the historic and interesting places that surround us.
What makes this property unique
The House dates back to 1604 and is unique in that it is a Mill which has a stream running through the property as well as two mill ponds which attract birds and wildlife at certain times of the year. The barn accommodation has been renovated to a very high standard in a sympathetic way modernising everything but keeping the character and charm. The house and Barn situated in a rural setting are well positioned to explore this very interesting historic area. it is also very well equipped with good quality furniture and appliances.
