About this house rental

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!!!

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.

"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!
