Book this great house for your 2025 holidays

Le Moulin is a large, picturesque house set in approx an acre of land. It benefits from its quiet, rural setting, surrounded by farm land, fields and woods.

Le Moulin has a fantastic amount of living space with each of the 5 spacious bedroom suites measuring 400 sq ft!! (Imagine the average hotel suite and double it!) A lot of the comments I get from guests usually start with "the photos don't do it justice".

Each of the suites is furnished with a contemporary kingsize 'zip and link' bed (which means we are able to offer either a kingsize bed or separate single beds in each room).

The suite is completed with a cosy sitting room with double sofa bed, flatscreen TV with both freeview and satellite with access to both English, French and foreign language television and radio channels, and a DVD player .

The lounge area has a hospitality tray with complimentary tea and coffee making facilities.

Each suite is complemented by a large bathroom with deep soaker tub, separate shower unit, handwash basins. There is under floor heating throughout. Complimentary bathroom toiletries are provided.

The ground floor TV room has a 50-inch flatscreen and DVD player. There are two armchairs and occasional table tucked away next to a large sofa and double sofabed.

We can provide a cot and highchair for our younger guest.

Complimentary WIFI is provided throughout (please note that due to our rural location, the signal can sometimes be intermittent).

The ground floor has a fully fitted kitchen - hob and oven, Rayburn, full-size microwave, tall fridge. All crockery and cutlery is provided for our guests - cookware and ovenware, kitchen utensils and linen, kettle, Nespresso vertuo coffee machine (we provide a few pods but please feel free to bring extra pods with you) and cafétieres, chopping boards, toaster.

The kitchen sits next to a large dining area. There are three 8-seater tables with dining chairs and a highchair for a younger guest.

The first floor houses a grand salon for receptions, conferences and group meetings. At the end of the salon is a private games room with table tennis table, pool table and table football. There are two bucket chairs and a table with reading lamp.

There are two other properties on the site: La Petite Maison, which sleeps 10-12, and Le Petit Gite, which sleeps 4-5.

The fully equipped Leisure Complex is located across the courtyard, fronted by a picturesque patio area with seating.

The Leisure Complex is available for the use of all guests - children should be supervised at all times and especially when in the pool area. There is a 13m indoor pool, changing rooms and lockers, along with showers, WCs and handwash basin.

The gym is equipped with a Smith rack with weights, treadmill, stationary bike and rowing machine as well as a reebok step, Swiss ball and exercise mat. Leading upstairs to the games room with table tennis table, snooker table, pool table.

There are irons, ironing boards and hair dryers in the property.

Le Moulin benefits from being located at the end of a large courtyard with secure entry via private gates.

The large main garden is lawned and has a decked barbecue area and boules court.

There is a patio area in front of the property with tables and chairs. We also provide each property with a portable charcoal barbecue (seasonal).

Summer 2022

We (two families with children [ages 6, 6, 3, 1, 0] from the UK) passed a really nice two weeks at this property. It's unique - very large and with lovely big rooms. The kids loved the games room and the projector room the most, also enjoying the pool at the courtyard. The adults loved the amount of space and the solid construction meaning that we could meet when we wanted to meet but also enjoy quiet time without disturbing the household. Very well equipped kitchen. The property is located near some terrific towns and cities. We managed to visit St Malo, Fougeres, Fougerolle du Plessis, Mayenne, Gorron, Ernee and Domfront! Each town with its own individual attractions. The team was accommodating, providing us with two cots for the babies and arranging a linen change in the middle of our visit. Overall, a very pleasant way to spend a couple of summer weeks!

Very nice stay

After many confusions with the owner about the rental we finally had an amazing stay with all of our friends in Le Moulin. Premises are very spacious, the pool and jacuzzi were welcome for a relaxing time and the garden in front of the house was perfect for a sunbathing session. We truly recommend this place.

Superbe demeure

La minoterie est très bien restaurée. Les chambres sont spacieuses et bien aménagée, elle dispose chacune d'une grande salle de bain avec douche et baignoire. La cuisine / salle à manger est grande et plutôt bien équipée. Il y a tout ce qu'il faut sur place (Draps, couettes, oreillers, serviette) ce qui est un vrai plus. Les activités sur place sont top (Billard, baby foot, ping-pong, piscine, jacuzzi, salle de sport). La minoterie dispose d'une grande salle avec écran et projecteur et d'activités privatives (Billard, baby foot, ping-pong) . Tout es joliment décoré. Nous avons vraiment passé un agréable moment. 2 petits bémols : - La piscine est un peu froide. - L'espace piscine, salle de sport est a partager avec un autre gite.

A répondu à nos attentes

Le moulin a totalement répondu à nos attentes, spacieux, propre, offrant de belles prestations. Avec de beaux espaces de nuit au niveau des chambres accompagnées de grandes et belles salles de bain. Le fait d'avoir à disposition 2 salles de jeux équipés en billard, table de ping-pong est vraiment un plus. Le bâtiment où se situe la piscine et le jacuzzi est équipé en plus de vestiaires/douches/toilettes, ce qui est vraiment pratique. Le tout situé dans un endroit calme et paisible. L'avantage c'est qu'on ne dérange personne lors de festivités journalières ou nocturnes. C'est un lieu que je retiens avec plaisir pour de prochains séjours.

Un week-end exeptionnel

Nous nous sommes retrouvés entre amis 3 jours dans ce moulin rénové. Nous avons profité du calme de la campagne et surtout de la piscine. Les enfants étaient ravis et nous aussi. Nous avons aussi jouer au billard, au ping-pong... Nous étions très heureux de tous nous revoir dans une maison avec d'aussi beaux volumes, des chambres très grandes et très belles.

Superbe propriété

Nous avons passé un très bon séjour dans ce magnifique moulin. L'accueil avec un panier garni fût très apprécié. Les chambres sont spacieuses et toutes équipées. L'aménagement est fait avec goût. C'est très agréable. La cuisine est spacieuse avec un aménagement à l'Américaine. Les salles de jeux, piscine et jacuzzi sont bien pensées pour se détendre de tout temps. La salle de sport manque de révision sur les machine comme le vélo qui ne fonctionne pas et le vélo elliptique qui ne se programme pas. Il y avait aussi un problème avec le chauffage dans le moulin et les douches bouchées pour la piscine. Ce séjour a été un bon moment de détente et de tranquillité à la campagne.

Fantastic property in a beautiful location

Have just returned from a wonderful stay at Le Petit Maison and can't praise it enough. We were a party of 9, including 5 children of various ages and there was more than enough space for us all. The house was perfectly set up for several families, with kitchen dinner, lounge with open fire and separate dining area. Each room had its own ensuite and every detail and need was well thought out as well as being spotlessly clean.The outside space includes a patio area and a wonderful outside open fire under a gazebo where we enjoyed a last night bbq. The kids loved the pool and games area, which was a godsend when the weather was poor and the gym was great for those who wanted to run off the pounds after all the food and wine we were enjoying! There is plenty of places to visit nearby and during our stay we visited the fantastic Mont St Michel and Bagnoles de Lorne which was a stunning town set round a lake with beautiful scenery. Our hosts were extremely helpful and friendly and answered any queries with speed and efficiency. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend this property to any friends or relatives and would love to visit again!

VACANCES FAMILIALES

Nous avons invité enfants et petits enfants au moulin de la Quentinière pour une semaine. les +: chaque chambre possède sa salle d'eau, accès facile au complexe sportif (piscine, jacuzzi, salle de sport et de détente...) propriété sécurisée qui peut être fermée la nuit, propreté de la maison, linges et serviettes sont fournies, disponibilité de la responsable si problème les - : cuisine et salle à manger ne permettent pas d'asseoir 11 personnes autour de la table, toutes les télés (et il y en a!) ne reçoivent pas les chaines françaises, le matériel vieillissant du complexe sportif serait à renouveler... Mais cela reste des petits détails pour nous. Séjour très agréable qui ne demande qu'à être renouveler. MERCI

This is an amazing property!

The house exceeded our expectations, the bedroom suites were excellent and there were also plenty of communal spaces. The children especially liked the games room, swimming pool and gym. The location is good for sightseeing and walking and the pub in the village was very welcoming. A very good house for a group of friends or large family.

A family week-end for a birthday

Nous avons passé 3 jours dans la partie moulin. Nous étions 21 et nous avons vraiment apprécié les installations : billard, baby-foot. Nous avons dansé dans l'immense salle au 1er étage. Les chambres sont spacieuses et les salles de bains immenses. La pièce à vivre est grande, la cuisine très fonctionnelle. Le must : la piscine et le jacuzzi. Tout est très propre et la décoration fait qu'on se sent chez soi. On aimerait y retourner.

The perfect getaway

I have visited this property twice before and looking forward to a 3rd trip next year. It is without doubt the most amazing rental property that I have ever had the pleasure to stay in. We were looking for somewhere that we could all totally relax and get away from our busy routines and this delivered on every level. It was peaceful, calm and close to a delightful village which was only a few minutes’ walk away. Equipped with a Gymnasium and swimming pool you really didn't need to leave the property at all! It was perfect for an extended family getaway because the bedrooms and living space are so big we never felt that we were living on top of each other. The kitchen was a dream to use and was fully equipped with everything a large family would require, including enough dining space for us all to eat together. It was also a treat to take a relaxing bath in the luxury en-suite bathroom at the end of a fun-filled day of sightseeing and shopping. I would highly recommend a stay here, you won't regret it and you'll want to return again!

About the host

Hosted by DORN KIPPING

Host profile image
Hello, I'm Dorn and I live in Buckinghamshire, UK with my husband and children. My hobbies include fitness, cookery and eating!

We enjoy our leisure time and have loved holidaying in France for the last 20+ years.

Le Moulin de la Quentiniere has been a labour of love for us and we are still as passionate about it now as when we first saw it, perhaps more so actually :o)

We continually strive to ensure that it is bringing as much joy to our guests as it does to us.

Why they chose this property

I am sometimes asked "why Desertines? What made you buy this property?"

It was a week day late night 'surfing the internet' session when I came across the for sale details of Le Moulin de la Quentiniere. My husband and I decided to come over and take a look that weekend and, impulsively, bought it on the spot!

When we first saw it, we fell in love with the beautiful buildings, the tranquility of the area and the quiet, rural location.

Many, many months of hard graft, lots of broken finger nails (you feel my pain, don't you girls?) as well as the fun of decorating each bedroom, choosing paint and furniture, going on mega shopping sprees for crockery, cutlery, etc and Le Moulin de la Quentniere is now almost the vision we envisaged so long ago.

Le Moulin de la Quentiniere has the ideal picturesque setting with the local village only a 15 minute walk down the road and the nearest town around a 15 minute drive away.

Although you do need a car to get around, it means you have more opportunities to explore and go further afield with Le Moulin de la Quentiniere as a welcome base to return to.

We have dedicated a lot of time and energy enhancing the beauty and attraction of both of our houses at Le Moulin de la Quentiniere; adding the leisure complex and re-seeding the garden so that we have both an indoor and an outdoor area where we can play as well as adding the patio area so that we can enjoy both staying in or going out and about. We built a raised deck with a fully equipped barbecue and seating area along with a pétanque terrain. (This was officially opened by our Mayor in August 2019, it was so exciting for us).

At Le Moulin de la Quentiniere, we are easily accessible by car via the ferry at Ouistreham or St Malo, or the Eurotunnel then driving down from Calais, or coming in via the airports at Rennes or Dinard.

I love coming over to spend time here, welcoming guests and seeing their pleasure at being in such a lovely place.

What makes this property unique

Le Moulin de la Quentinière is a unique property in our area of Désertines; a beautifully restored flour mill which gives modern living accommodation in a lovely rural setting. The property is spacious enough to enjoy both time together as a group and to be able to have time on your own. We have ensured that there is plenty to do with the onsite leisure complex with pool, gym and games room, as well as providing patio furniture and a bbq for alfresco fun.
