Le Moulin de Mazieras has its own lake and stream and is surrounded by woodland so we are in the middle of nature which is perfect for the fauna and flora; we are in a noted area for a large range of orchid species as well as many other beautiful plants and the sound of the hoopoe, king fisher and golden oriole is common while lazing in the garden.
The property is attached to the owners property and situated within ten acres of private pasture and woodland. The cottage has its own private garden with table and chairs, BBQ, sun loungers, but we invite people to enjoy the rest of the garden.
The cottage is a peaceful haven for nature lovers yet it is close to local amenities in St Saud, where you will find a bar, restaurants, pharmacy, mini supermarket, bakery, post office and petrol pump/hardware store.
The lake at St Saud has a beach with sunny and shady areas, picnic tables, life guard (in July and August) and cafe/restaurant. There is also a tennis court, horse riding and fishing facilities close by.
A circular walk passes by the property which links to the Grand Randonees of France. The area offers excellent opportunities for keen cycling/mountain biking enthusiasts.
We run our small micro brewery (Perigord Beers) on site and invite our guests to see how we make our beer and if they wish to sample our artisan beers they are invited to a free tasting session. We've been operating for 4 years and our guests welcome the opportunity to experience this as part of their holiday but for those that aren't into beer it doesn't impact on their stay in the gite.
