We have thoroughly enjoyed a very wonderful two week stay at this privately owned campsite in our caravan, we thought the natural surroundings and its location would be ideal for our needs, and it has more than met our expectations.
We received a very warm welcome from the owners Thibaud and Anne, along with a very useful brochure all about the site and its surroundings, with what to do and where to go, perfect for planning and getting our bearings on the first day.
We had the choice of several large grassy pitches on this lovely natural site, arriving just as all the leaves and spring daisies were coming into bloom, the longer we stayed the prettier it became. We settled on an oversized plot with a blissful view of the valley behind the campsite and enjoyed colourful gorgeous sunsets most nights.
The Moulin du Bel Air has a green heart too, caring for its environment, keeping their own chickens and goats, and encouraging environmental practices such as extra split recycling points and the composting of your green waste,
There was a very friendly open hospitality at all times shown by the lovely owners, for whom nothing seemed too much trouble. We enjoyed several visits to their colourful rustic open-air Brasserie style terrace and bar, and liked that most of their food products came from organic farmers and local producers.
When the weather turned cooler or wet their indoor bar above the water mill was ideal, along with a log burner making it cosy and inviting. We were invited to aperitifs by Thibaud and Anne the first week to meet all the other guests, which was such a lovely thing to do.
The site is also in a superb region of the beautiful valleys of the Lot & Dordogne, so within an hour by car we were able to visit lots of the most amazing medieval villages, abbeys, chateaux, exotic gardens, prehistoric caves, local markets and more.
We will definitely be back, as it feels like we have only just scratched the surface of what there is to see and do here. We had such a good time and were sad to leave. So if you fancy a great relaxing location with wonderful hosts, and a beautiful campsite you couldn’t do much better that this. We can’t recommend them highly enough!
