Focus on the Auvergne
Lucia & William : Le Moulinou
Le Moulinou is a unique 5 bedroomed guest house located within the parish of Moudeyres on the upland plateau of the Haute Loire in France run by Lucia Toebes . At an altitude of 1235m , le Moulinou is situated on a plateau rising towards the volcanic summits of Mont d ' Alambre and Mont Mezenc . This guest house is used on our independent walking holiday : Tranquil Auvergne Trail . See page 51 . As soon as you go through the door from the old stables into the reception room you are transported into a beautifully restored world of wood and stone . The floor of this entrance hall , which provides access to some rooms , is covered in massive volcanic flagstones and the walls are exposed volcanic stone . There is also a lounge on the ground floor with an open log fire . The first floor of Le Moulinou has been equally perfectly restored and is located within the roof space with exposed wooden beams . Each room has its own character where wood and stone are often exposed . Lucia cooks tasty local dishes from fresh local produce as well as the odd more exotic course . Evening meals start with an aperitif before starter , main dish , cheese platter and dessert . Wine is included with the meal . To the rear of the house is a large garden which catches the evening sun and makes for a great place to relax after your day ' s walk .

Value For Money
In creating our holidays we seek to match quality with value for money in order to create an experience that can be enjoyed on a modest budget . Many of the holidays are full board and all prices are based on 2 people sharing a room , unless otherwise stated ; a single supplement being payable for single travellers or those not wishing to share a room .
With the exception of local transfers , travel to the holiday destination is not included in the holiday package , allowing you to make your own arrangements and therefore benefit from any low cost flights or special deals offered by ferry companies .
We aim to be clear and transparent as to what is included in the price of the holiday , see individual holidays for details .
