Acerca de este alojamiento
A charming old Water Mill in Perigord, surrounded by nature
Le Moulin de Connezac is nestled in the Nizonne valley in north Dordogne, close to Mareuil en Perigord. A historic, unique and charming holiday home in the Perigord Limousin National Park, an area of outstanding natural beauty. The River Nizonne flows underneath Le Moulin de Connezac, also around the garden. It is a place where you come to rest and unwind, then be restored by nature. We are adjacent to water meadows, there are walks direct from the Mill into the woods and up the hill, discover the lovely mosses, mistletoe and fungi, take your favourite tipple and sip on the hill overlooking the valley as the sun sets. It is tranquil and a haven for local birdlife. We have deer and boar, if you are lucky to spot. We have bikes to cycle the pretty country lanes in search of chateaux. Summer brings the sunflower fields. There is a kayak if the water level is good. The fire pit on the terrace is fabulous for late night sing-alongs, watching the stars and having good chats. We have boules, badminton and croquet and some fishing rods.
A perfect destination for a family and friends to get together, recharge, focus and take the energy of nature. The forest and river are in a natural eco system, preserving the beauty. We encourage the birds, dragon flies and wildlife to feel safe here. Ground Floor: The old water mill flows under the house, through the kitchen. There is a formal dining room / hobbies room, a casual dining area adjacent to the kitchen (open plan), the snug room with log fire and a garden room, a toilet room, and the cave for the washing - drying machines, bikes etc.
Upper floor: 3 spacious bedrooms with old stone fire places in each room. Sleeps up to 9 people. The master bedroom is large, with a 4 poster bed and additional single bed, and sofa along with an ensuite bathroom. The views cover the garden and streams of the front and back of the house, the 2nd bedroom has a 4 poster bed, the spacious 3rd bedroom has 4 single beds. Plus there is a separate bathroom with shower.
Outside there is a terrace, fire pit, BBQ, extensive garden and natural wild pool. You can play badminton, boules, croquet, go fishing or take a dip in the natural pool and take the kayak into the water. There are hikes into the woods from the house. Watch the sunset from the terrace, enjoy alfresco living, or take a bottle of your favourite tipple up the hill and watch the sun set!
The nearby towns all host morning markets. Mareuil has lots of local produce, the market is Tuesday morning. Brantome market is on Friday, selling many products. The river Dronne is great for canoeing, take picnic. Villebois has the medival market in the square, stunning. Aubeterre has the delightful Roman church and houses built on stilts up the hillside, take lunch in the Square. Look out for Brocante's and weekend Vide Greniers. In Mareuil visit Le Cave, with an excellent choice of wines. Grab an expresso at Chez Mia, while picking up your croissants from the Boulangerie in Mareuil. It has a certain pace of life, take the pleasures of the good food, wines and beautiful countryside. Happy Holidays!!!

I can't say enough good things about the Moulin. This is my only experience where pictures don't do it justice. We stayed for a month and honestly we were in tears when it came to leaving. It's absolutely idyllic for relaxing, tranquility, sightseeing, everything one wants to do on holiday. If I have the opportunity, I'd come back in a heartbeat, no hesitation whatsoever.

Moulin de Connezac
We had a delightful and restful week in the Moulin. The house has great character and is peacefully nestled in the hills surrounded by streams, with a charming garden, with seating, loungers and even a badminton set, or boules for games. The well equipped kitchen made cooking a pleasure. The owner was very prompt and responsive, and there were lots of activities, walks and guide books to suggest day trips. The piano, bikes and kayak were added extras to expand the realm of holiday activities. The rustic charms of the property,made for a great week's stay. WiFi is fine around the kitchen area and snug. The TV is basic with a DVD connected but some of the remotes were not obviously operational. This is a lovely homely holiday location, with charm and character, in a conversion from a mill which retains some low doorways, so tall folk need to be mindful, as well as looking out for steps and waterways around the property making it potentially more hazardous for the very young or elderly.

Great experience! - Marvellous!
"Paradise is here!" - this saying, on a board in the kitchen of the mill is acutally the most accurate description for this location. Nothing to add. If you want to read more: Its a perfect place to relax. An impressive old structure immaculately renovated and formidably arranged sitting in the middle of pure nature. No traffic, no noise, just you. Ideal for one or even two families with small or grown-up (which was the case with us) children. We also used our 2 weeks stay to visit many of the famous sites in Perigord including caves, chateaus and small cities in direct vicinity to the mill but also went down to Dordogne and as far as Bordeaux. It was always a pleasure to return afterwards to the mill for complete recreation. Contact with Jacqueline was always nice and fast. Support by and talks with the local staff, Tom and Nathalie, living next to the mill, always a pleasure! Thx again Jacqueline for the opportunity to stay in Moulin Connezac!

Beautiful and relaxing
We loved our week at Le Moulin. It is a magical place with beautiful surroundings nd a river running through the house! Romain was very helpful and gave us lots of ideas for activities. From taking walks in the trails leading from the house to cold swims in the river pool or just sitting outside - we didn't need to leave! But, we did venture out. The Friday market in Brantôme was great. We also spent a moving afternoon with Laurence and her Arabian horses - highly recommended if you love horses:) Overall, an unforgettable week! We miss it already and hope to be back one day.

A Magical Place
Our family of 4 (two adults and 2 kids ages 12 and 15) rented this house with our friends and their two kids (ages 14 and 15) for a week this summer; the property exceeded all our expectations. The mill is beautiful, and there was more than enough space for the 8 of us. The master bedroom/bath is immense; the bedroom that my husband and I stayed in is lovely (antique furniture, canopy bed, fireplace). The kids' bedroom, with four single beds, was perfect. The (multi-lingual) caretakers were available at our convenience; the (French-speaking) gardener, Roman, was helpful as well. And the kitchen and "cave" were well equipped. The owners--who were in Kenya--responded promptly and in detail by text to all our questions (even a stupid one about where to find dinner on the Sunday night we arrived). (A digression: We did manage to answer this one on our own: the answer was La Charrue, a casual restaurant/in about 6 km away, which offered a 10 Euro dinner with wine--curry chicken or Asian short ribs--which was odd (for our first night in the Dordogne) but delicious and a lifesaver because we didn't realize that grocery stores would be closed at 2 on Sunday, and that most of the local restaurants would be booked by the time we called.) The location is a bit out of the way, which was what we were looking for. The adults spent the first few evenings relaxing over grilled dinner in the yard while the kids played boule and splashed around in the stream on the property. Our trip coincided with the Perseid meteor showers: memorable. We made day trips to Perigueux and Lascaux; we also made evening trips to night markets (check the web for information on them) in 3 local towns (the one in Perigueux is not to be missed). Even the somewhat spotty WIFI and phone service were perfect: we were trying to get away from work, after all. All in all, a magical experience in a beautiful place.

Beautiful old house in an amazing setting
We had a wonderful week here and wished we could have stayed longer. The house is in an amazing spot, peaceful and secluded but within a short cycle ride of the nearest village and shop. The mill is full of character but has been beautifully renovated. The kitchen is huge, and really well equipped and we enjoyed lots of family meals there. The owners provide everything you could need for a great family holiday and were very accommodating on the run up to our stay. We couldn't have wished for a better place to spend a week in the Dordogne - there is plenty to do in the area, but if you want to relax, then the house and gardens are a perfect spot to do just that. Thank you.

un petit paradis
L'ancien moulin d'Harriet et Frank est un endroit idéal pour passer de merveilleuses vacances en famille.
La maison, très spacieuse, est charmante et mêle authenticité et modernité. Tout est fait pour qu'on se sente chez soi et il ne manque rien pour une vie agréable. Elle est parfaite pour deux familles avec beaucoup d'enfants !
Le jardin est magnifique, à la fois ombragé et plein de soleil.
Le ruisseau qui passe dans la maison et au dehors rafraichit les jours les plus chauds et permet à toute une faune de se développer (nombreuses libellules !).
La maison est idéalement placée et permet de rayonner dans la région. Le village de Mareuil, situé à 5 km propose tous les services (supermarché, pharmacie, commerces traditionnels).
Harriet et Frank, ainsi que Peter et Elma, ont répondu à toutes nos questions et nous ont accueilli avec beaucoup de gentillesse.
Nous n'oublierons pas notre séjour et espérons revenir au Moulin bientôt !

Charming house in a beautiful surrounding
We had a lovely two weeks in this beautiful and very well kept old water mill. We enjoyed the spacious garden surrounded by little streams. There was plenty of "wild life" in the garden such as lizards, dragon flies, butterflies, fish and beautiful king fishers.
The children had an abundance of play things such as fishing gear, bicycles and table tennis.
It was a feast to cook delicious meals in the well equipped kitchen with its large oven.
We love the quiet location of the house in a beautiful landscape. By car the various beautiful sights of the Dordogne were well within reach.
We often think about the lovely evenings we spent in the garden enjoying a nice glass of Bergerac. One day we hope to stay once more in this little paradise.

Nous avons passé un séjour très agréable en famille, la maison est vaste et permet à chacun de trouver sa place.L'ensemble est très bien équipé, que ce soit pour l'intérieur ou l'extérieur, on ne manquait de rien.Cette maison de caractère a plusieurs atoûts ,les pièces sont spacieuses et le jardin très agréable (écureuils lézards, canards, chouettes et de multiples oiseaux nous ont tenus compagnie).Les environs permettent des ballades à pied ou en vélo.Et nous avons particulièrement apprécié l'eau et les arbres qui entourent et traversent la maison,ce que apportaient de la fraicheur pendant les fortes chaleurs , nous avons eu 15 jours de soleil total, le rève ! L'acceuil par Peter et Elma était très sympathique et souriant, nous avions demandé le repas d'accueil confectionné par Elma, c'était pas cher ,copieux et délicieux.Bref une adresse à retenir absolument pour les vacances.

Beautiful house in a beautiful setting
We had a lovely 5 days stay at the mill in late August. We spent the days visiting the local markets of which there are many, going for a canoe on the river and enjoying the countryside around the mill on the bikes that they provide and on foot. The mill itself is very comfortable and 6 of us fit in it with plenty of space to spare. The kitchen lends itself to cooking some great family meals and we used the bbq on 3/4 occasions. I went for a dip in the 'pool' after a run which although v cold was very refreshing! All in all a great stay and we will be back.

Large well cared for home in valley by a stream
We had a lovely stay at the Moulin for the last week of June 2014. The property is well appointed and very spacious as are the lawns. Our children were fascinated by the stream that runs through the middle of it. The owners and the care takers ensured all our needs were met and were very pleasant to deal with. Although this area of the Dordogne was less touristed, that was a huge part of its charm. We managed to see all major sites we wished to further afield as well as take in the beauty of the neighbouring towns such as Brantôme and Périgueux. We enjoyed seeing this region feature in the recent 2014 Tour de France back home in Australia!

Lovely and charming house and grounds
We stayed 10 nights. The house is spacious, lovely, and tastefully appointed. Each room has its own character. The grounds enclose the house in a green, water-filled space. It's amazing having the mill stream (with a small waterfall) bisect the house between the kitchen/informal dining room (a large comfortable remodeled space) and the formal dining room. There is also a den (they call it a library) and a solarium (they call it a conservatory) downstairs.
The upstairs is also large. The newest bathroom, which is in the hall next to the second bedroom, is a marvel, sort of a Zen space with a French window and shutters that somehow works aesthetically. The second bedroom is one of the smaller rooms, but that's only because the other rooms are so large. The master (descending a few stairs from the hall) is huge, and like the kitchen and formal dining room, runs from the front to the back of the house. You descend a few more stairs to get to the master bath, which, although not as spiffy as the new bath, is quite adequate. I wish more American bathrooms had bidets (we used it to soak our feet).
Despite the high quality of appointments and equipment in the house, it feels lived in and comfortable. Peter and Elma, the caretakers, are pretty much always available by phone if you have questions about the house or the area.
Be sure to try Le Petit Restaurant (Peter and Elma's recommendation), a first-class restaurant in a nearby village. The cuisine is as good as some fine restaurants in Paris. Also, if you get down to Aubeterre, go to Crepes de la Sources, which has far more than just crepes and where we had an outstanding lunch. Closer to home is L'Olive Noire (in Mareuil) - excellent pizza made by one of the two owners and very reasonably priced.
Lots of stuff to do in the area. I heartily recommend Brantome, St. Jean-de-Cole, les Grottes de Villars, the Chateau de Puyguilhem (near Villars and the caves), Bourdeilles (magnificent chateau and scary castle tower), as well as lovely walks right in the area of the house (one is just on the other side of the back garden).
We had unseasonably rainy and cool weather much of the time, but if you have to be occasionally (we still managed to get out quite a bit) stuck inside because of rain, the moulin is a wonderful place to be stuck.

Stunning place in a really great French location.
Genuinely lovely house, with lots of great features. The rushing water of the mill-stream, swimming in the mill pond, lovely garden for kids to rush about in, and surrounding villages and towns offering loads to do - this really is a great base for a stay in the Dordogne.
Kitchen area is huge and excellently fitted out, and lounge areas are very comfortable, all retaining great French character. It's a real family home, and a very relaxing place to be. Loved it.

You couldn't really ask for a better family base for exploring the Dordogne. Located in beautiful countryside, on a stream, the house is huge, tastefully restored and well equipped. There is masses to do in the local area, the owners were very helpful and we will definitely book again.

It is simply charming, the water grounds you, helps you relax. The sun sets as you sip your evening drink over the back garden. There is a BBQ and a fire pit. Eating alfresco is splendid. For children the woods offer lots to explore and play in nature. If you enjoy foraging, the woods even have truffles! Enter the natural pool on a hot day! You can take the kayak down the stream or try fishing. It is a place to enjoy friends and family and unwind and relax together. Local lanes are beautiful to cycle in summer months amongst the sunflowers.
Qué hace que este alojamiento sea especial
A Moulin comes with a lot of history, in our case since 1429. The house has been nicely developed to create an engaging living space. Waking up in the morning and looking out over the valley is a wonderful feeling. Listening to the distant sound of water and the birds is charming. The natural pool is set behind Le Petite Moulin, perfect for a dip on a hot summers day. The old Mill stones are in the garden. The Mill would have ground walnuts to make nut oil and probably flour. The wildlife, be it the insects, flowers or birds, we want to feel this is a special habitat for them. One day I've love to re instate some form of hydro power and become green and self sufficient. There are a number of Chateaux in the area, it is fun to bike to them and take a picnic. If you like to draw or paint I'm sure you will be inspired!
