Le Moulin du Roc

What can we add to what previous travellers have already written here? Unique setting, warm welcome, efficient service, gorgeous rooms, excellent cuisine ... We were here on our second honeymoon to celebrate our upcoming retirement: we couldn't have found a better place! We were offered an upgrade to suite-level. We should have reserved more nights ...

14 years ago we were married in a windmill so it seemed appropriate to celebrate our anniversary in a moulin. The service was superb and the setting was absolutely beautiful as was the hotel and the room. After a few rainy days the sun came out and we were able to enjoy the private terrace overlooking the water. A wonderful experience!

We have just enjoyed the most wonderous weekend at Le Moulun du Roc. We were welcomed by the most delightful and attentative staff and escorted to a splendid well appointed room with all the comforts of the best hotels we have started at. Dinner in the starred Resturant Roda left us with nothing but shouts of brilliance. Breakfast in the dining room was equally as special and the physical environment was mystical. This weekend will have us ensuring that this destination will feature on all our future travel agenda to this area. Thank you one and all for your quality, care and comforts.

We loved the hotel, our room was spacious and nice, the hotel grounds are beautiful, and the area is very peaceful and has lots of historic places to visit.

Fabuleux! Très beau site dans la nature, très fleuri, soucis du détail, excellente table, personnel efficace en quantité, belle déco et en plus une cheminée dans la chambre! Mieux que dans un chateau Sans conteste, l'un des plus beaux hôtels de France

We stayed for 2 nights when we visited the Dordogne region, if you are looking for the best place to stay, relax and have excellent food. Then this is the place to stay. The best experiences on our road trip in France this year.

The location is lovely, the service - greeting, front desk, restaurant, chefs - was first class. Everyone seemed happy to be working there. Our friendly Maitre de was helpful enough to draw one of our possible choices - oursin- picture attached. I asked for a signed copy as he is clearly an artist! No it’s not a prairie oyster. Dinner was excellent and breakfast did not disappoint with eggs prepared as requested. We’re back in September.

Our stay at Moulin du Roc was nothing short of spectacular. The inn feels like walking into a dream. The inn is nestled next to a quietly flowing river, in the country side, it feels secluded and special. Once inside the inn, you notice the exquisite furnishings, and the warm greetings of the people who work there. The restaurant has beautiful oil paintings, and apples over the tables and in the bookshelves, it feels like entering a Dutch still life painting. Very poetic, but also warm and casual. Our room was carpeted, and very comfortable. Lamps everywhere, and a comfortable mattress and pillows. We slept very well!!! Our room had a full size bathtub, and a wonderful shower with powerful water flow, that gave a spa feeling. A very large bathroom, felt very luxurious.. Breakfasts at the inn was absolutely delicious, as was dinner. The preparation and design of the food is both comforting and complex, and the service is nothing short of excellence! I absolutely loved the apples on the tables, and the beautiful prism lighting. It made dining in the interior and on the patio to be magical experience. It is these little touches that makes this inn so wonderful! Also the side lounge is so comfortable, they played jazz, and we sat in the lounge after dinner relaxing and taking it all in. I would have loved to have a digestif in this lounge if they offered it, something local like a walnut wine or eau de vie. This inn feels like staying at an intimate bed and breakfast. You feel the soul and the warmth. I am so happy we decided to stay here for 3 nights! We were a bit worried it might feel too remote, and also considered staying in Brantome, but I am so so happy we did not. Brantome is wonderful and we explored it thoroughly, but this inn made the visit to this area of the countryside memorable. Driving every night back to the inn after touring the area felt the perfect way to end the day. We did not get a chance to play tennis, or swim in the pools, but they do offer this.

Unfortunately, we had only booked one night here on our way north and we wish we had booked more - we absolutely loved this hotel. From the moment we arrived, when a member of the Team came out to the car park to welcome us, we had a most memorable time in this little haven of peace and tranquility. It is the most amazing conversion of an old mill, retaining the heritage of the mill but encapsulating excellent traditional decor and furnishings in the public rooms. There is a lovely terrace/deck suspended over the river with comfortable seating ideal for a pre dinner aperitif. The restaurant had a lovely atmosphere and we were lucky enough to have amazing weather so an excellent dinner and excellent breakfast were taken on another delightful terrace next to the river. With fresh linen table clothes, lovely individual lighting on the tables and impeccable service it was an amazing experience. The swimming pool situated in the extensive gardens reached by a small bridge over the stream added to our enjoyment of our stay. The bedroom, again, met and exceeded all our expectations - all the facilities you needed, plus a beautiful bathroom with a large walk in shower and a jacuzzi bath. Perfect. What a perfect place to stay on our way back to catch the ferry - it really was in our view the most perfect example of how a character hotel in the Dordogne should be, and we can't wait to return. Thank you to all the staff who made us feel so welcome.
