Located right in picturesque Brantome alongside the River Dronne, Le Moulin de l'Abbaye is very beautiful inside and out. The interior is decorated like a comfortable and grand country house, as are the generous sized rooms. The hotel is a Relais & Chateau property and one that speaks well for that affiliation. The hotel's restaurant under Chef Bernard Villain's capable... more

This Relais & Chateaux Inn may have the most beautiful site location that we have visited during our forty years together. It is situated along a river that passes through a very small and beautiful town (Brantome) in the Dordogne area of France. Because of our desire for both a tub and a shower, we decided to stay in the... more

Like the previous reviewer I was surprised not to find more reviews of this lovely hotel. Although our room could have done with a little updating (mainly the bathroom) this was more than made up for by exceptionally charming and friendly staff, and the superb location. The public rooms were cosy and welcoming with lovely viewsof the bridge, the river,and... more

I'm amazed that I'm the first reviewer for a year of this hotel, because I would have thought everyone would rush to the site to praise it to the heights. Perhaps they want to keep it to themselves! From the start this was perfection. Arrived on a burning hot day, feeling rather frazzled, to have our car keys whipped away... more

We have just arrived from a small trip to the Dordogne, in which for the first time we drove north of Périgueux to beautiful Brantôme, "la Vénise du Périgord Vert". Le Moulin de l'Abbaye takes its name from its location just facing Brantôme's Abbey, with its terrace leaning over a canal where two gentle waterfalls, ducks, flowers and the watermill... more

Travelling down to the South of France by car is a long way from the UK so we decided to stop over in the Dordogne for a long weekend. The Moulin de l'Abbaye hotel was the perfect setting for us to see a small part of this beautiful region and in particular the charming village of Brantome. As soon as... more

Beautiful settings, extraordinary food (with very reasonably-priced local wines too), great service. Worth every penny. more

Stayed 2 nights, when we arrived our car was parked for us, the reception staff were very friendly indeed. Our room in the mill overlooking the river could not have been better. Dinner was superb, many courses and each one was top quality as was the service and the view from the terrace. Not a cheap hotel but worth every... more
