Friendly helpful staff. Even the owner called to say hello.

It’s unique! Behind the green door on 6 Rue Taillade is very interesting abode. Two floors of beautifully designed and decorated rooms arranged around an atrium that ascends to the roof giving a sense of space and light.On every floor the passage ways and landings display all kinds of paintings , drawings and sculptures. Clearly the home of an art lover to delights in sharing her house with visitors. You are made to feel most welcome.

Our family stayed for three nights at the Moulin de Laboirie. The property is well kept and located just outside of the historic town of Bazas: a very quiet location where nothing really happens (all restaurants in Bazas were even closed on the Monday we were there) and it is probably too far as a base if your purpose is to head to the beaches of les Landes or the Bordeaux wine country. The owners keep a large dog and are accommodating to other dogs, although for seven euros a night which was not clear from the listing on booking.com, and our dog played well with theirs in the mornings before it got too hot during the afternoons. We spent the first two days mostly off the property, including a wonderful trip (but long drive) to Saint-Emilion, and because extreme heat (41 degrees celsius) was predicted for the next day, we opted to stay another day to rest and recuperate by the pool and in the relative cool of the property's common areas. Breakfast is not bad, but certainly below par in comparison to similar B&B, lacking cheese, meat, eggs, or pastries, and instead consisting mostly of store-bought concentrated orange juice and yoghurt, baguettes and brown bread, butter, plum jam, and coffee and tea). There is no air conditioning. On the first night, when it was only slightly cooler (38 degrees), we were not even offered a fan, despite them being available. After we asked, on the second night, we got a fan and some type of water dispenser that did not do much to cool down the room in this heat, but we spent the second night somewhat more comfortable. There is a swimming pool, although the areas around the swimming pool would benefit from far more thorough cleaning.

The french breakfast in a nice room.

The property/garden is beautiful and the house contains lots of interesting vintage furniture. The breakfast was generous and we were offered tea/coffee during the evening. The host was accommodating of all our requests.

Absolutely everything! It was amazing. We cannot thank the host enough. She was incredible. The room was perfect, comfortable, spacious, clean, and had everything we needed. The host did a wonderful job at providing us with an incredibly delicious breakfast and kept us company with some wonderful conversation. We had access to the garden throughout the day, which was lovely to relax and take in the countryside fresh air.
