OUTSIDE THE MILL
The Mill with its 400 metres of river frontage is one of 16 watermills on the Combade, a top category trout river, situated just above its confluence with the River Vienne. It is accessed by a 200 metre driveway lined with acacia, lime and cherry trees and offers ample parking.
It enjoys a secluded location which cannot be overlooked in summer, surrounded by its private orchard, woodland and meadows, usually home to 3 rare breed donkeys. There are terraces facing south,east and west offering sun or shade at all times of day.
Without leaving your holiday home, you can explore the surrounding 3 hectares, cool down in the river, commune with the donkeys, observe the buzzards, nuthatches and woodpeckers, or simply relax and listen to the gurgling of the millstream.
You can fish for trout using lure, bait or fly from our river banks or roam further afield up and downstream. A temporary fishing licence is required to fish in the River Combade and most other lakes and rivers in Limousin; this can be purchased from our village shop in Masleon (3 km).
Please be aware that there is no fenced garden area, so young children will need to be supervised and the mill is therefore not appropriate for pets.
 
THE SURROUNDING AREA
Set in France's “Lake District”, the mill is surrounded by beautiful countryside with deep gorges and many lakes. The pretty medieval towns of St Leonard de Noblat and Eymoutiers with restaurants, markets and traditional festivals are just 10 minutes drive away and Limoges, the regional capital is easily accessible (30 mins).
