Wonderful Family Time
We are a 4 generation family that stayed 5 days and had the most wonderful time. The house comfortably accommodated 14 of us ranging in age from 2 - 79 years. The views are amazing and there is a large yard with a trampoline and swing set that entertained our younger ones for many hours. The 2 kitchens are well equipped and it is a nice walk to the lovely village. I highly recommend this rental.

A fantastic holiday home for a large group
We spent 7 nights at the moulin as a group of 5 families. The beds were super comfortable. The property is well equipped and had everything we needed. Lots of chairs for inside and outside. A fantastic games room. WiFi worked really well too. Lots of bathrooms and toilets. All the required kitchen equipment and lots of it. It was nice to be within walking distance of St James. The little town has a carrefour express, cheese and wine shop, butchers, restaurants, little bars, vets and a hospital. The large garden with a trampoline was well used by the kids, as we're the goal posts. There is even a little stream at the bottom where we bathed on a hot day. All in all, a wonderful holiday home. Thank you for having us.

70th Birthday celebrations
We are a large family with 4 Children and 9 Grandchildren and wanted to celebrate my 70th and my Husbands 70th, which was in lockdown. The house was perfect for the 3 generations and the garden was safe for even the youngest 5 year olds to play so that the adults could relax. The facilities for the children and adults was fantastic, with a trampoline, football goals, volleyball net and the boule court and a games room. The weather was amazing and we eat outside every day, there was plenty of everything we needed. We were able to get fresh bread and croissants at the local boulangerie. The beds were super comfortable and it was so peaceful that we slept really well. Altogether an amazing holiday in a wonderful house.

La Minoterie
The location and property were ideal for our 3-generation family holiday. The house is well-equipped and spacious, and the games room and garden offered welcome space for the children. The outdoor eating area and the riverside are an additional bonus. Saint-James is a pretty town which has everything one would need. Itā€™s an ideal location for exploring this region including Bayeux and Mont St Michel. Lots of happy memories!
