An amazing week had by 6 adults with their 6 "young adults" in this fabulous villa, with its very helpful host Claire. On arrival we were a little anxious about the layout, but it works so well and is so well equipped, would definately recommend

Amazing, Relaxing Holiday

We had a wonderful relaxing family holiday here. The house was very clean, comfortable, and well-equipped. The grounds and the pool were fantastic. We enjoyed watching the wildlife as did the teenage animals that came with us (when we could drag them away from the pool and excellent wifi coverage). The walk up to Rochechouart from the house was steep but well worth it (food at the Hotel de France was amazing and great value). Claire was an amazing and attentive, but not intrusive host and we will definitely be back. If you haven't gathered, we would recommend "La Maillerie" for any family holiday or a peaceful adult break.

Peaceful sanctuary

We had a wonderful week in this stunning location. The accommodation is simple but well equipped and very clean. Its layout allows space to spread out and then come together at meal times, ideal for a family including young adults and their partners. Once there you don’t really need to use a car, beautiful ( slightly steep) short walk to the town and all it offers. The real worth of this place is the location, the natural surrounding, trees and water which attracts wildlife including otters, bats and so many butterflies. Thank you Claire for a wonderful week.

We enjoyed our two and a half weeks in Rochechouart, despite some disappointing weather.The house, which was fairly simply furnished and a little on the dark side but well-equipped, was in a very peaceful, natural location, ideal for exploring the town and surrounding area. There are lots of good walks in the area which we enjoyed and it was also very relaxing and entertaining to sit by the river, listening to the water and watching the kingfishers, wagtails and coypu.The swimming pool was lovely. The temperature was consistently warm and was big enough to have a proper swim. It also had a reasonable sized shallow end which would be great for little ones. It was well maintained and cleaned regularly by the nice owners, who live in the neighbouring property but were not intrusive.

We had a fabulous holiday here. 6 adults and 4 children ( ages 4-8) The pool entertained all of us plus the extensive grounds held all our little ones interests - seeing otters, fish, ducks as well as sheep and mountain goats. The short, steep walk up to Rochechouart was a daily start to our day ( the 4 year old managed it with ease) Up there we had a choice of morning coffee and cake at numerous coffee shops then the children played on the well equipped playground next to the Chateau. Our evenings were spent Bbqing in the back garden area as well as playing boules there. Later in the night we retired to the games room where we all enjoyed games of table tennis. Claire was a wonderful host. Always on hand but never intrusive. We highly recommend this outstanding property and made truly amazing family memories.

The perfect, rural family retreat

This property is such a gem, we've had a wonderful stay here this week. Claire is an excellent host, there to answer questions and give advice about local attractions, but also gives you the space to relax in peace. Our children (ages 8-16) loved the pool and also fishing in the river, meaning we spent a lot of time relaxing at the house. The grounds are stunning and there's just so many different outside seating areas that it was still possible to find tranquility, even with 10 of us in the property. The walk up the steep path (in garden) leads you into the town within 10 mins for a visit to the bakery and the bars. There's a gem of a bar a 5 mins walk from the house (if you're willing to cross the river and then walk through a field). If you love the countryside, peace and tranquility, I would highly recommend this property.

Lovely on may levels.

The property is superb. Spread across 2 floors in a secluded old mill. One side you have a large garden and pool, the other side a small river and weir. There are plenty of places to sit and and eat and drink, depending on where the sun is. Pool was lovely and ideal for kids. River was great for fishing and exploring in canoes and SUP. The games room was huge, with ample table table tennis bats and balls. There is even a small path which takes you up to the picturesque town, or down a short road to a charming pub/restaurant by the river. The host was simply lovely and helpful, without being at all intruding. You can't really go wrong. (very few mozzies and wasps, which is great).

Summer Holiday

We had the most wonderful stay at la Mallerie where you can really enjoy the natural beauty and authentic charm of France. The location is so beautiful and you can fully switch off and enjoy the peace and tranquility. The setting is very private. The addition of the swimming pool was wonderful. The grounds have many areas where you can sit and relax or enjoy dinner. Table tennis was great. Our children loved the wildlife and animals and it was lovely having the goats and sheep to see daily. Alain was a wonderful help during our stay he was extremely helpful for anything we needed. Claire was also a lovely host very friendly and helpful. We were fortunate to visits during the festival that only occurs once every 7 years so the towns were beautifully decorated with bunting which was lovely to see we very much enjoyed walking into town for fresh bread and cakes daily. It takes about 20-25 mins casual stroll into town it is up a steep hill but very beautiful town. The supermarket is about a 10min drive away and you can get a huge choice of everything you need. Would recommend to anyone wanting to come away and recharge there batteries and relax and enjoy authentic living in France.

What a lovely property and a lovely host! The property is tucked away just outside of Rochechouart, an old millhouse on a small stream. The property is as described with enough beds for a group of 9 people. The property has two living areas meaning there is enough space for everyone. Amenities wise the pool is excellent, heated enough to take away the chill, but still cool enough for those hot days. The table-tennis, boules and organ round out the non-electronic entertainment. The Plancha style BBQ is amazing, under cover right next to the stream with a large table. We ate evening meals there every night. Beds were comfy, kitchen's well equipped it was a great stay for our group and allowed everyone to chill out and relax!Claire is a great host. She lives on site, but other than saying hi and helping practice French language skills or attending to little needs here and there she doesn't encroach or interfere with your enjoyment. From the property it is a 5 min drive into the centre of Rochechouart where there are a couple of patisseries, a wonderful butcher and an Aldi and and an Intermarche. There is a trail up the hill from the property as well into town that you can walk in 10 mins.Would highly recommend!

Un lieu très plaisant pour ces extérieurs, vieux moulin charmant et au bord de l'eau. Il est a regretter que les photos soient trompeuses : la "salle de jeu" possède en fait un immense mur de parpaings gris et laissés bruts, de même pour son plafond en parpaings brut et éclairé de néons: on est loin du charme de l'annonce et le prises de vues omettent volontairement ce aspect. Les cuisines sont petites et très peu équipées pour faire de la cuisine pour 10 personnes, pas de couteaux d'office, de planches à découper, de saladiers de taille correcte... notre hôte à cependant été réactive et a procédé sur notre demande a de menus achats. Les loueurs habite une maison qui donne sur la propriété ce qui n'est pas mentionné. Il manquait également un matelas dans la chambre enfant. Ma fille a du dormir sur un matelas gonflable. Par ailleurs attention l'annonce indique 5 chambres, de fait un lit pliant est à installer dans cette immense salle de jeux peu chaleureuse. La piscine et annoncé "chauffée" mais la pompe à chaleur est contrôlé par l'hôtesse qui passe chaque jour et coupe le chauffage le matin. Après nos demandes pour la réchauffer, le thermomètre de piscine a bien commodément disparu...Enfin l'annonce abritel dit "séjour en Dordogne" après vérification vous verrez que la propriété est située dans la haute Vienne a quelques mètres de la charente.

Madame, Je suis navrée que vous n’ayez pu apprécier ce lieu. Venus à quinze alors que vous aviez réservé pour neuf, c’est sans doute que vous aviez souhaité faire partager votre enthousiasme. Je ne suis cependant pas certaine que vous compreniez le sens de ces quelques mots, mais sur le nombre de vos hôtes, peut être l’un d’entre eux vous éclairera t-il ! «  Nolite mittere margaritas ante porcos »

Magnifique

Nous avons passés 4 jours vraiment superbes au moulin de la Maillerie. Le beau temps étant pour beaucoup, il nous a permis de profiter pleinement de la piscine chauffée, des extérieurs tres bien entretenus et des chemins de randonnées accessibles depuis l'hébergement. Le moulin est isolé et permet d etre tranquille entre amis et profiter de la nature. Claire, notre adorable hôte à l'art de bien recevoir dans son moulin bien équipé (linge de maison, serviettes, savons etc...) elle est également très reactive dans les échanges. Nous recommandons sans hésitation. Nous reviendrons c'est sûr.

splendide !

Nous avons eu la chance de séjourner dans cette magnifique maison de vacances près de la rivière, et nous sommes enchantés par notre expérience ! Le cadre bucolique nous a permis de nous ressourcer pleinement, entourés par la nature et le calme apaisant du domaine. Les chambres étaient superbes, aménagées avec goût, et nous nous y sommes tout de suite sentis à l'aise. Chaque détail semblait avoir été soigneusement pensé pour offrir un séjour des plus confortables. La piscine chauffée a été un véritable atout, nous permettant de nous détendre et de nous rafraîchir à tout moment de la journée. Les nombreux équipements disponibles ont également rendu notre séjour très pratique et confortable. En outre, la propriétaire des lieux était tout simplement charmante, accueillante et toujours prête à nous aider et à répondre à nos demandes. Son hospitalité a ajouté une touche chaleureuse à notre séjour, et nous nous sommes sentis les bienvenus dès notre arrivée. En somme, nous recommandons vivement cette location de vacances à tous ceux qui recherchent une expérience relaxante et mémorable, ah le joli murmure de la rivière... Un grand merci à la propriétaire pour avoir rendu notre séjour si exceptionnel ! Nous espérons revenir bientôt.

Relaxing family holiday

This was the perfect relaxing holiday for us this year. The villa was ideal, it gave everyone enough space to be by them selves and there were big enough areas for us all to be together. This is very difficult to find when you are a family of 6! There were so many beautiful places in the grounds of the villa. The pool was an ideal size and at a lovely temperature. Claire was a wonderful host and was always there on hand if needed but not intrusive. Thank you so much for our wonderful holiday. The location dropped a star only because there weren't many places to eat out in the local area. This was no problem for us as we were more than happy to eat in and cook for ourselves. We did find a couple of places to eat which were perfect for us and we weren't very adventurous. The rest of the location was so picturesque and we enjoyed many walks, cycles, swims and chateaux's all within a half hour drive.
