A magical setting and very quiet place. We stopped here on the way from Le Bugue in the Dordogne to Paris. However, it was a bit basic! We were staying in a cottage next to the mill which was 1970s concrete and furnished very basically. I have seen more luxurious student accommodation. The dinner was ambitious but truly awful. I had melon with champagne followed by pork mignon. The first course tasted rather soapy, the second had a thick sweet sauce. We didn’t pay 12 euros for pudding, feeling that 29 euros (if I recall correctly) for dinner was already too much. Dinner was by the mill pond, which smelt slightly fetid, lit by a single lamppost on each side so we could barely see our food. It would have been nicer to have simpler, better quality, more reasonably priced food at the end of a long drive and a candle on the table. Breakfast was fine but cost an extra 14 euros and was served on an unlaid, crumby table. The pool was rather cloudy and dirty. The only saving grace was the prettiness of the place and the friendly receptionist.

A favourite French hotel

As regular guests at the Relais over many years & under 2 different managements, we have no qualms about recommending this hotel.The present management,Cyril & Roxana Orinel have maintained the high standards of this quiet hotel in rural surroundings,yet within easy reach of the autoroute.Rooms are spacious,nicely decorated,clean & well-equipped.The cuisine is excellent & for the energetic there is a pool & spa. You are always assured of a warm and friendly welcome from Cyril & Roxana who both speak English,& we have no hesitation in recommending the Moulin de Chameron to fellow travellers & visitors to the area.

Overnight stop on route to Italy

We booked a standard room but did not realise these were all up a stairway. On arrival we asked was it possible to have aground floor room and we were informed they were all full. During our one night stay we only saw 5 other people. We would have been happy to pay the extra. No one likes to be told lies.

Fantastic restaurant in the middle of nowhere

We stayed here for one night when on a trip to find the geographical centre of France, which is not too far away. We had read good reviews about the restaurant, and thought it looked like a pleasant location. It was indeed very pleasant - in the middle of nowhere (just how we like it!). The old mill building was fascinating, and it was nice to see some of the old equipment still on show. The bedroom was quite basic, but clean and well-presented. The bed was quite soft which was not good for my partner's back, but it was okay for one night. Now then, the restaurant...fantastic! We sat outside for a drink before dinner, and were surprised with some lovely 'nibbles' which raised our expectations for the dinner menu. The menu has a number of tempting options, but we chose to try the 5 course menu in which the chef chooses the dishes, and the wine is chosen to match each course. The food was amazing - the different flavours and textures were wonderful, and the presentation of the food was beautiful. I tried foods which I had never eaten before, and I was pleasantly surprised by how nice they were. The wine was also very good, and we were able to try several different whites, roses and reds. I would highly recommend staying at this hotel just to have dinner there!

Relax and refresh

Would whole heartidly recommend staying at this establishment. If you want to sit back , relax and forget about your day to day life , you've chosen the right place. We were unaware of the gastrenomic delights we would be served for dinner and that added an extra level to our stay. Fresh made and baked coissant in the morning was the best start to the day. Lovely atmosphere , courteous and kind owner with time for his residants makes this the first choice for me in this region of France. I was also fortunate to have hired a car and enjoyed the miles of empty country roads meandering through timeless local villages.

Sans plus

Gros problème de bruit, on entend les autres clients discuter dans leurs chambres plusieurs chambres plus loin. Des qu'une porte s'ouvre, le bruit nous a réveillé. Prise électrique de la salle de bain ne fonctionne pas pour le sèche cheveux fourni par l'hôtel. Sinon le service était à la hauteur d'un 3 étoiles. Rien de spectaculaire mais ça va. Pas de volet au fenêtres du coup à 7h réveillé à cause de la luminosité extérieure. Piscine n'a pas été laver à notre arrivée mais le lendemain. Désolé pour l'avis mais faut s'y attendre

TRÈS DÉCEVANT

Le cadre de l'établissement est superbe. Malheureusement le service n'est pas à la hauteur, les prix non plus. Grande chambre au niveau volume, aménagement assez succint et SDB minuscule. Nous avons dû demander qu'ils allument le chauffage central, car la chambre était assez froide.. Menus vraiment onéreux par rapport à ce qui est servi. Au moment du check out, il a fallu "discuter" pour que l'on nous déduise les PDJ pas commandés, ni pris. On ne pouvait soit disant pas modifier la note et le paiement devait correspondre au montant de la note. Les PDJ ont enfin été déduits, puis il a encore fallu discuter pour obtenir la facture, essayant de nous faire passer une note provisoire pour une facture. À force de discussion, la facture nous a été envoyée par mail, car il y avait soit disant un beug informatique. Gérant odieux et imbu de sa personne, la couleur est annoncée dans l'établissement par des affiches (voir photo en exemple). C'est loin d'être un 5 étoiles comme il voudrait nous le faire croire..... mais limite 3 étoiles. On se sent vraiment agressés à tout instant. Nous voyageons énormément et c'est la 1ère fois que nous avons ce ressenti. Dommage.............

UN FIASCO DE HOTEL

Muy mal. El hotel esta perdido en el campo a poco mas de 50km de la ciudad mas cercana (de cierta importa cia). Las carreteras por las que se llega son un verdadero galimatías y la señalización ultima en pequeñas tablas de escasos 70cms de largo por 30 de alto con letras blancas de unos 12 cms de altura y de prácticamente nula visbilidad (las medidas no las invento, me dio tanto coraje la situación que me pare, baje y medi con una cinta métrica lo que anote). No estoy escribiendo ninguna majadería, pero si la verdad sobre el hotel que escogi y que sinceramente, pienso que Hoteles.com debería borrar de la lista de sus recomendados.Un hotel del todo DESACONSEJABLE y además, aprovechando el estar situado lejos de todo, lo que ofrece el restoran lo cobra a precio de 3* Michelin. Un soberano fiasco y a Hoteles.com le consta lo que he viajado y como suelo calificar a los establecimientos con una experiencia de mas de 40 años de viajar.
