Excellent holiday in bohemian and charming old watermill. Unique holiday. Excellent pool, lots of fun for children and dogs without leaving the rental. Owner very helpful and friendly. Lots to do in local area and lovely food in nearby towns of la reole and marmande. Would recommend it.
Nice place, good location and helpful host. The house was very quiet, surrounded by the lake with a big forest land. Unfortunately the place was not clean and the furniture not at the standard of the rental cost.

This property is unique. Surrounded by water and wildlife.So peaceful that one doesn’t need to venture out at all.
The Mill is set is a quiet hamlet 5km outside of Mon Ségur and is a perfect base from which to explore the beautiful rolling countryside of the Duras region. We enjoyed visiting the wonderful local markets and touring some of the regions many vineyards. We were equally happy to stay at home and relax by the beautiful pool which is set in the woodland with the river running alongside. Our children loved messing about on the river in kayaks and trying their hand at fishing and a highlight for the whole family was the evening ritual of the starlings coming home to roost. Rita, our host, was very accommodating and made us feel very welcome.

A magical home to base your stay in this beautiful region. A wonderful place to really rest and get away from it all but also close enough to drive to any amenities (shops and food markets at Monsegur or La Reole) and even the sea side of Bassin d'Arcachon which is just over an hour drive is realistic. Took the canoe up stream for a few kilometres and spotted herons one day too. At 7pm without fail the dance of the starlings over the property begins with a beautiful display of thousands of starlings flying and singing in unison occurs...amazing sight. We loved every minute and will be coming back.

The watermill is a wonderful location, perfect for a family holiday. There is so much to do, exploring the woods, rowing along the river, swimming in the pool. The accommodation was excellent and the owners very welcoming and attentive to our queries. A perfect week in an excellent spot.
The Mill House is a fabulous retreat in southern Bordeaux wine country. We did have a really good family escape... The property has a magic to it, secluded, on its own small island of 3 or so acres (?) You do not feel looked upon, you can play your music with gusto without the danger of disturbing people! BUT the truth is that it is tired and some what run down. It would benefit from a huge injection of capital where upon its would take on a different feel again... and these comments are not meant as any thing other that positive comment. We had fun.
This property is in a stunning location and has been beautifully renovated. The situation is very rural which makes for a restful and natural environment. The property contains all that is required for a holiday away with family and holds plenty of surprises when adventuring around the islands. The owner is easy to contact and offers help whenever necessary.
We spent a week at the watermill and had a fantastic time. The house and pool were great and the extensive gardens a paradise for a 5 year old to explore. The owners were very quick to respond to any questions and we hope to return soon. Highly recommended and a great base for wine tasting.
Upon arrival at the property, we could scarcely believe that it was all 'ours' - a beautiful old watermill set by a river with a complex of small islands - very private and secluded. The facilities are excellent - a hot tub, swimming pool, large balcony overlooking the river, a boat & canoes, tennis court, badminton court, woods..! There is so much to do without actually leaving the property. The house itself is really well designed inside, very spacious with two lovely bathrooms and a very well equipped kitchen, and we ate all of our meals sitting on the balcony, listening to the sound of birds and the waterfall. The dog loved it as once you close the main gate, there is no way off the islands except by water, so he was able to roam around off the lead, and we enjoyed strolling through the woods with him on his morning walk. I thoroughly recommend this property - Rita is always helpful and friendly - we liked it so much that we booked to stay there again next year almost as soon as we got home! I also recommend the Windmill that Rita also owns, available on this site - we have stayed there twice before and loved it so much it was a struggle to decide which property to go for next year!
