Simon (from Exeter: August 2008)

'What a lovely place! The village was so peaceful ,great amenities,a little shop, a bakers, post office and a bar. The house was really well furnished, a lovely big garden and nice friendly neighbours. We were left a useful set of instructions for all the appliances and a good pack of tourist information, well done...The village is only 10 mins from Josselin, a gorgeous medieval town, a Champion and Super U there too which was useful!! I would definitely go back there again and would recommend this property to anyone!! Many many thanks!!'

Carol (from Guernsey August 2008)

'La Ferme du Moulin is certainly home from home. The house was so well equipped and the garden was a great size especially having the trampoline which the kids had hours of fun on! The property is well located and not far from many attractions, we managed to visit Josselin which is only 10 minutes away, a beautiful medieval town full of character and nice places to eat, the zoo was only 40 minutes away as was the aquarium and butterfly house. The town of Mohon itself is very quiet but we would certainly return again!! The owners were extremely helpful prior to our stay and we would have no hesitation in recommending this property to anyone!! Excellent.
