Description

Le Moulin is a typical farmhouse for the area, located in glorious countryside halfway between Toulouse and Carcassonne. The house is totally private, but not isolated, and is under one hour from the convenient airports of Toulouse or Carcassonne.

There are six bedrooms and five bathrooms, so we can sleep ten adults and two children in comfort ( one bedroom has bunk beds). We can also provide a couple of cots on request.
One bedroom and bathroom is in a converted windmill, just a few yards from the house. This romantic and secluded bedroom has a steep staircase, so is not suitable for everyone.
The main bedroom is on the ground floor, with ensuite bathroom and small dressing room. It is at the far end of the house and very quiet.
Have a look at the floor plan which you will find among the photos.

Attached to the house is a massive open-sided barn, called a Hangar, which is the focus of Summer living with a large dining table, plenty of comfortable chairs and a full size ping pong table. The high roof and open sides mean that the Hangar is cool, even in the hottest weather.
Next to the Hangar is a summer kitchen , fully equipped except for a cooker, but both gas and charcoal barbecues are provided.
The Hangar looks onto the heated pool which has a salt filter. The pool has an electric security cover.

The small village of Salles sur L'Hers is only a five minute drive away and has a small supermarket, butcher, boulangerie, tabac, newspapers and chemist and also has a health centre, dentist and hairdresser. Hypermarkets and larger shops are in Castelnaudary, about 25 minutes away.

WiFi is available throughout the house and Hangar, usually providing between 20 and 50 mbps, good for rural France.

This is not a house for those yearning for discos and crowds, but for all others it will provide a magical holiday location.

Fabulous time

By Rachel Davies on 02-Jul-2023

Review Submitted: 13 December 2023 Fabulous time Had the most fabulous time at Le Moulin. There were 7 of us including my grown up children and their partners. We all had great individual sleeping spaces separate bathrooms. And plenty of socialising space. Lovely pool. The hanger - great social space for us all into the evening. Two kitchens - so practical. Stunning views. We brought bikes which was excellent both for morning trips to the bakery and a jaunt along the Canal du Midi. We recommend visiting Monsegur castle and obviously Carcassonne - great atmosphere in the evening. Highly recommended - do hope to return. Rachel Davies July 2023

Wonderful

By Mitchell-Rose on 02-Aug-2022

We had a wonderful family holiday at Le Moulin this August. We spanned three generations and the house was perfect for all ages. The children loved the table tennis and the beautiful pool. Their parents and grand parents escaped to the shade-covered hammocks and enjoyed the wonderful views and sunsets at dinner. There are two well-equipped kitchens plenty of space a wonderful sitting room and comfortable bedrooms. The views over the countryside were spectacular and a very pretty nearby village supplied the breakfast croissants and bread. The house is ideal for families and everything is there to make it a perfect rural retreat. Lots of great markets and day trips within easy reach. I couldn't recommend Le Moulin more highly.

Le Moulin

By Sue Jenkins on 01-Aug-2022

We had a wonderful family holiday at Le Moulin this August. We spanned three generations and the house was perfect for all ages. Children loved the table tennis, toys and beautiful pool. Their parents and grandparents escaped to the shade-covered hammocks and enjoyed the wonderful views and sunsets at dinner. There are two well-equipped kitchens, plenty of space, a wonderful sitting room and comfortable bedrooms. The views over the country side were spectacular and a very pretty nearby village supplied the breakfast croissants and bread. The house is ideal for families and Arabella has thought of everything to make it perfect rural retreat. Lots of great markets and day trips within easy reach. I couldn’t recommend Le Moulin more highly.

Lovely holiday

By Gavin Rand on 02-Jul-2022

After a lovely holiday here in 2021, we had another fantastic family fortnight at Le Moulin in 2022. It was even better than the first time! The sun shone throughout - so the pool and the hangar got lots of use. The house was just as comfortable as we remembered (and the ceiling fans were put to good use this year), and we found plenty to do to keep ourselves entertained around and about - vineyard visiting, cycling, waterparks etc etc. Le Moulin is an amazing holiday house, in a beautiful location, and we have thoroughly enjoyed our (big) family holidays there. We hope to be back again!

Absolutely perfect

By Claire Harper on 02-Aug-2021

We stayed at Le Moulin in August 2021, having only booked it the week beforehand. Christopher and Arabella were so accommodating and flexible with our booking and readily available by email with information, contact details for local people on the ground and useful tips and reminders. The house itself is absolutely perfect for large groups, even though only the 4 of us stayed on this occasion. The bedrooms are all very comfortable with plenty of towels, hanging space and extras provided. The two kitchens provide everything you could possibly need to cook meals at home and the outdoor space is enough to keep even the most active children (and adults) entertained for hours on end. I think we played pretty much every game on offer - golf, croquet, boules - and spent countless hours in the pool, both during the day and at night. The setting is so beautiful with views all round the house and stunning sunsets. We visited Castelnaudary (home of the cassoulet), Carcassonne (extremely busy and touristy but still worth a visit), white water rafting at Foix, the underground river at Labouiche and the awesome Parc Aquaviva. Would definitely recommend this place to other families!

A beautiful house

By Gavin Rand on 02-Jul-2021

Le Moulin is a beautiful house, in a stunning location. The house is homely and very well appointed; the rooms are large and all are very comfortable; the pool, hangar and summer kitchen are outstanding; the grounds and garden are fantastic, and there is plenty to do, see and taste nearby. On top of all of this, Christopher and Arabella were amazingly helpful in the run up to and during our stay, going out of their to make us feel welcome and help us to enjoy the holiday. Having been frustrated by Covid in 2020, we shared a happy fortnight at Le Moulin with our extended family in 2021. It was well worth the wait! The house was perfect for us and there was something for all members of the party: the one year old twins had great fun on the climbing frame and in the play house, the older kids loved the pool, chess and table tennis, the parents enjoyed the hangar and the sun loungers, and the grandparents enjoyed the tranquility of the windmill bedroom! We all agreed that Le Moulin is the best holiday house that we have visited, and we have already begun to plan, and look forward to, our next visit! This really is a fantastic house to holiday in - we can't recommend it highly enough. Six stars!
