About this house rental

Holiday house rental for family and friends
This property is an old rustic watermill (1697) turned into an untypical villa (1850) : luxury rooms with large windows, high ceilings, wooden floorboards, and a spacious private garden will leave plenty of room for our guests to jump from some alone time to sharing activities, next to the hearth, sipping burgundy wine or in the water against the current of our private swimming pond. Don’t be shy and invite the whole gang, as the house can accommodate around 15 people!
We only accept bookings for 2 nights or more, except if the stay is within 1 month of the booking.
Please note that the tap water is not drinkable, but we supply plenty of bottled water.

The cottage is independent and autonomous, there are three floors for you. On the other hand; the house's (wood-burning) boiler is in the basement of the building, also autonomous. We are the ones who fill the boiler for your comfort. The underground has its own entrance (north orientation), just like the house (east and south orientation). We will be at your disposal but out of sight.

“We wish we could stay just a little longer” is what we hear most when it’s time to go. To facilitate medium to long term rental, we guarantee lower prices the longer you stay. Starting at a 10% discount for 3 nights, save , up to 30% for 7 nights

Campagnes de France: warm sun, green grass and refreshing water
Surrounded by only nature, farmland cottages and villages on green hills, there is no better travel destination to work on your business, play some board-games with the children, or to relax while they’re running outdoors. Trust your fellow guests reviews and experiences, or make your own unforgettable adventure.

Save money on your trip or events
As the Moulin du Merle is before all else a family business, we offer 24/7 direct customer service. What’s more, there will always be someone close by in case you need advice. We can offer catering, quality and special-rate local wines, as well as other local products or recommandations.

    Lovely old house in a scenic countryside area with plenty of room and plenty of books (including a big collection of Dutch books). The landlady is very helpful and friendly. The children enjoyed the stream (crayfish and fishes to be spotted; a bit of swimming is possible against the stream). The area is nice for cycling and walking. We enjoyed a relaxing stay.

    Un endroit merveilleux pour se retrouver en famille, entre amis, la maison est très accueillante, décorée avec goût tout en gardant son ambiance d'antan. L'eau du moulin aide à la détente, un vrai moment de bonheur.

    Comme indiqué dans l'annonce l'eau aux robinets n'est pas potable, ce qui nécessite une adaptation, mais tout est organisé pour gérer la situation. L'isolement du gîte nécessite aussi de bien s'approvisionner à l'avance coté nourriture. Ceci dit, le service de restauration proposé sur place est très bien.

    Le weekend s'est parfaitement bien déroulé. La maison est superbe et le terrain permet de s'adonner à pleins d’activités diverses. Gilberthe est une hôte adorable et attentionnée. Elle sait être présente mais discrète. Nous recommandons cette location tant pour des événements familiaux qu'entres amis. Nous reviendrons avec plaisir. RDV pour les 10 ans !

    Nous avons passé un agréable séjour dans cette charmante maison, entre amis, pour un week-end de retrouvailles. Belle propriété, grand espace extérieur, les petits et grands y ont trouvé leur compte. Seul petit bémol, l'eau non potable, mais compensée par de l'eau minérale mise généreusement à disposition. Nous recommandons cet endroit et y reviendrons sans hésitation si l'occasion se présente.
