Le Moulin family
As a welcoming team, we all have different skills that combine to offer you great service, our growing local knowledge, creative cooking and hospitality you’ll remember forever.
Although we’re all English, we’re working hard on our French to help us to integrate with the local community, and often have French-speaking guests visiting. We’ve enjoyed meeting holiday makers from France, Spain, Germany, The Netherlands, Slovenia, Senegal, South Africa, England, Scotland, Wales and Southern Ireland, America, Canada, New Zealand and Australia.
No two weeks have been the same, with walkers, cyclists or guests just wanting some down-time mingling with one another, sharing experiences and making lifelong friends.
We welcome solo travellers, small groups or couples, as well as families, and now offer a range of speciality weeks and longer stays when required.
As well as our lovely rooms featured on this site we have a two-bedroom flat available for longer stays.
We have a lovely team of colleagues who manage our maintenance, look after the garden, clean our rooms and help with transport and transfers. If you would like to improve your French just let us know when you book and we will ensure you get that opportunity.
Sarah Peacocke
Public Relations and Marketing
Sarah Peacocke/ the whirlwind
Although Sarah is celebrating her 71st year, you’d never believe it. Wherever you look she’s there. With a background in journalism and marketing she’s constantly looking at ways to boost our coverage, posting on Facebook, talking to journalists and doing all she can to ‘spread the word’.
She’s travelled to many parts of the world and has some amazing stories to share over the dinner table. A life well lived! She’s owned property in France previously (in the south) and in both South Africa and Mozambique. Animals and wildlife are her passion, and as a published author (of a children’s book and of the 2024 best seller, a biography of Britain’s best-know show jumper John Whitaker) writing is at the heart of what she does.
Still working for agricultural businesses in the UK, she shares part of her time with companies across the Channel. But don’t ask her to remember names or numbers as they’re almost instantly forgotten unless they’re safely stored on her phone!
Vince Peacocke
Chef Extraordinaire
Vincent Peacocke/Vince/THE boss
A man of so many talents we could fill this page with his skills. You can find him unblocking a toilet, fixing a broken piece of equipment, chopping wood or making delicious cakes and masterminding the weekly BBQ.
Totally at home in the kitchen, where he conjures up wonderful dishes that combine the best of French/English and African cooking, or out on the land, where his farming background in Zimbabwe, where he grew up, is showing as he starts to develop our environmentally friendly farming enterprise.
Don’t ask him to sing, he’s tone deaf, or dance, as your feet may never recover – and above all don’t suggest he takes short cuts in the kitchen or makes what he calls ‘ready meals’ or you might not get fed that night. Everything is cooked fresh and from scratch, using locally sourced ingredients wherever possible.
