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
La Minoterie is situated in a lovely location, minutes walk from the quiet village of St James. The house is very well equipped from the kitchen area to the games room in the basement. The property is ideal for a family reunion or a get together for a group of friends.

An absolute gem
The property is perfectly located in St James, yet secluded in quiet surroundings. In reality the property is more beautiful than the pictures do it justice. The property had absolutely everything we needed, and communicating with the host was a breeze.

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. It’s an ideal location for exploring this region including Bayeux and Mont St Michel. Lots of happy memories!

Pleasant house for a big group. Close to town.
Great house for a big group with lots of room and 2 kitchens and livingrooms. in the basement are plays for the children. Outside is room for a bonfire close to the river. Great! One remark: there is no washing machine at the moment, but that will probably change in the future.

Maison parfaite pour des vacances en famille
La maison est belle, vaste, et décorée avec beaucoup de goût. Elle est parfaitement adaptée à une grande famille ou un groupe d'amis avec des espaces où chacun peut s'isoler s'il le désire. La maison est confortable: bonne literie, belles salles de bains, poêles à bois, cuisines bien équipées et la salle de jeux est un plus appréciable. Le fait d'avoir 2 salles de séjour/cuisines permettent aux plus matinaux de prendre le petit déjeuner tout en laissant les autres faire la grasse matinée ou de créer un espace plus calme pour ceux qui le désirent. Nous avons passé un excellent séjour.
