Holidaymakers' opinions
The Moulin des Etrebières in the words of those who stayed there
May 2026 – Family
We had a wonderful family weekend at Gaëlle’s holiday cottage. She was a very helpful, attentive and caring host.
The holiday cottage is simply magnificent! It has been renovated with great taste and using top-quality materials. The rooms are very cosy, spacious and beautifully decorated.
There are plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms, so there’s room for a large group! The bedding is of a high standard. The terrace is lovely, and the good weather meant we were able to make the most of it.
It’s brilliant – I highly recommend this spot, tucked away in the countryside and very peaceful. We’ll be back with great pleasure!
Thank you, Gaëlle!

What a wonderful place! We had a lovely stay; it has everything you need to feel at home and get away from it all.
Well done on the refurbishment – and especially the décor. The bedding is gorgeous! The bedrooms are spacious and can easily be arranged to suit your needs. The living area is big enough for large groups (there were 16 of us).
The holiday cottage is in a great location, and the host’s recommendations meant we were able to enjoy lots of activities. We were welcomed with a delicious Vendée brioche and some fig jam that the host sells – thank you again.
It was a wonderful stay; I’d highly recommend it and will definitely be back if the opportunity arises. All the best!

There were 16 of us lucky ones enjoying this superb, tastefully furnished holiday cottage. Everything was lovely: the setting with its magnificent view, the superbly renovated building, the refined décor, the practical facilities, the comfortable beds, the pergola, the little touches on our arrival and, of course, Gaëlle, the owner, who was very discreet but always ready to help… So don’t hesitate – go there; you’re bound to come away absolutely delighted!
May 2026 – Family reunion
We had a wonderful stay at this holiday cottage during our family reunion. This property, superbly renovated with great taste and high-quality materials, offers a setting that is both cosy and elegant.
The view is absolutely magnificent, and the spaces are very spacious, comfortable and particularly pleasant to spend time in, both indoors and outdoors.
We made some wonderful family memories there and will look back on this holiday with great fondness.
A big thank you also to Gaëlle, who is very welcoming, approachable and particularly responsive.
A perfect place to get together and share some special moments. We’d recommend this holiday cottage without hesitation!

What a lovely week of exploring with my friends.
An authentic holiday cottage where every detail has been thought through to ensure the well-being of its guests. Thank you to Gaëlle for the warm welcome – you’ve done a superb job both inside and out…..
I’ve picked up a few ideas from your vegetable garden… particularly about mulching (what sort of mulch you use). We’ll be sure to pass on your address.
Its location makes it ideal for exploring the region and Puy du Fou.
A superb holiday cottage – well done 👌

Beautifully restored gîte set in rolling countryside where nature reigns supreme. Beautiful but not bling bling. Authenticity of the buildings, the rural environment and the approach to enhancing the whole.
The layout of the rooms allows for privacy while facilitating group living. For hiking enthusiasts, including cyclists, there are some great outings in the Vendée bocage and many historical sites to discover in the surrounding area. The welcome is excellent.

Superb renovation, very beautiful living space, tastefully decorated. We were able to enjoy the large terrace throughout our stay. We were a family of 17 and the gîte is totally suited to this.
Thanks to Gaëlle for her warm welcome.

This gîte has been tastefully renovated using quality materials. The decoration is refined, the bedding excellent and the living space very pleasant.
The surroundings are soothing and relaxing. The surrounding countryside is lush and green, and there are plenty of opportunities to get away from it all.
We highly recommend this gîte for a weekend with friends or family.

Weekend with friends for 17 people. When we arrived, we found a large, light-filled living room with a lounge, kitchen and dining room, a harmonious blend of modernity and old-world charm. The bedrooms are clean, with comfortable, quality bedding, as is the lounge area. The kitchen is practical, with a central island, crockery, appliances and a large fridge.
A renovated former mill, the gîte is located in the heart of nature and offers a real change of scenery, with walks nearby. We had a lovely weekend. Thank you so much!

After several years of renting gîtes for a wk with friends, we were pleasantly surprised to find this gîte that met all our expectations: beautiful, spacious bedrooms with high-quality bedding, lovely bathrooms and a superb living room that is fully equipped and comfortable, whether for cooking, relaxing or playing games (which are provided). The large terrace is very pleasant, with a relaxing landscape. The gîte is within walking distance of a number of walks with beautiful views.

The Moulin des Etrebières gîte is very well designed. It has been designed to accommodate a large number of guests. You can feel that everything has been carefully thought out to create a warm and welcoming atmosphere. From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the tasteful and charming decor.
We had a great stay with the family, with the sun shining. We made the most of the terrace with its magnificent views and peacefulness.
Gaëlle, thank you for your availability, responsiveness and kindness.
We wish you all the best for the future.
Maybe we'll see you soon.

Excellent gîte. Very well equipped. Enhanced by a very friendly welcome. We appreciate the spirit that has guided the enhancement of the heritage and which governs the running of the gîte with "natural" practices that remind us of those of our rural youth. Keep up the good work for the rest of the renovation! Thank you so much!
