Idyllic
Truly was idyllic! Photos don`t really do the either setting or the mill justice. We instantly relaxed the moment we arrived. The accommodation is lovely - really spacious and comfortable and furnished in beautiful French style. River location is really stunning. Play area, games rooms, bikes, kayaks, etc, etc were great for the children. Pool is big, very well looked after and lots of options for sun or shade (it was very hot even in May!). We also really, really liked nearby Sommieres which has an excellent market, pretty narrow streets, lots of lovely cafes and lovely boutique style shops. Would definitely recommend! We`re going back in the summer!
