Beautiful boutique hotel
A beautiful boutique hotel. A spacious room, with thoughtful design. A very peaceful hotel, with the water wheel creating a calming noise. Pool was wonderful. Staff were friendly and helpful.

A fabulous stay once again at this beautiful property. Olivier, his mum and ‘chef’ made us very welcome and everything from our delightful and spacious room (Cassandra) to the lovely breakfast and gastronomic evening meals was superb. Can’t recommend highly enough

A memorable stay
This is a hotel that we love to stay at. We are always made so welcome by the charming owners and their son who will greet us personally in the car park when we arrive. The bedrooms are so comfortable and beautifully appointed. The grounds with the mill race quite beautiful. And food to die for ! We will always return.

What a gem of a hotel! We loved everything about this water mill turned into a charming country hotel with a gourmet restaurant . The owners treated us like family and went out of their way to make us feel comfortable, from adding items to the breakfast and dinner menu , making recommendations on places to visit, keeping our luggage while we toured after we checked out and we were even given a goodbye gift!Most of the staff spoke English very well and were extremely encouraging and patient with my attempts to practice French. The rooms and bathrooms were spacious, well appointed and so prettily decorated. We had a balcony overlooking the turning mill wheel and flowers. It was a peaceful spot to relax read and sip on tea or wine.. Do not miss a chance to dine at the restaurant the food was exquisite and far surpassed some of the Michelin star restaurants we have dined in. Again the little touches of 2 plates of amuse bouches before the meal and a cleansing sorbet between the appetizer and entree and petit fours after dessert demonstrated the chef’s passion for the art of cuisine. The breakfast on the sunny terrace overlooking the gardens included crepes, yoghurts, fruit, pastries and a local delicacy each morning. They were happy to make eggs also! The pool was welcome after a long hot day touring around and if you felt energetic one could walk into town . The only sad thing was that we could not stay longer- but we know we will be drawn back to this one of a kind hotel!

Beautiful charming little hotel. We spent 2 nights here for our honeymoon and had a great time, the staff were attentive and helpful. Our room was lovely, really clean. My only negative point was that there were no tea and coffee facilities in the room and nowhere to get a drink when you’re by the pool, but these really didn’t take away from a wonderful stay

A perfect place to stay near Brantome
Everything is perfect. Owner managed. Shows in the thoughtful furnishings, art, flowers and cleanliness. I would stay here anytime for these features alone. In addition we had dinner at their restaurant and would not be surprised to learn they earned a Michelin star. Needless to say it was great

This is a fantastic place to stay. The setting is beautiful, the room we had was lovely with a large outside terrace and the welcome / service you get from this family-run hotel is nothing short of superb. We stayed there for two nights and it was a joy, the freshly prepared and served breakfast was wonderful and we decided to eat in the restaurant both nights because of the relaxed ambience / excellent food on offer! We even received a gift on departure thanking us for our stay! Would thoroughly recommend to anyone planning a stay in the Dordogne, it is wonderful.

Nice friendly hotel next to the river
We were greeted on arrival and directed to a dedicated parking bay. The room and facilities were amazing and the staff could not do enough for you. We dined at the restaurant and the food was amazing. The following morning the breakfast experience was equally as good. Rather than the usual buffet they offered servings of different courses, which included fresh fruit, pastries, crepes and omelettes and lavished you with coffee. I would not hesitate to recommend this experience and will definitely be returning.

Absolutely fabulous!
Extraordinaire! From the moment the owners greeted us warmly to our farewell from their son who provided very useful suggestions for the rest of our journey, we had a marvelous stay at the Moulin. A restored former mill, the hotel was beautifully refurbished and decorated. Our room was lovely and spacious, as well as immaculate. The swimming pool provided a welcome respite in the heatwave France was experiencing. We ate breakfast and dinner at the Moulin both days of our visit. All of the food and wine were delicious and served with grace. At petit dejenear (not really petit), fresh-squeezed orange juice, plain yogurt, fresh fruit, and a selection of croissants, along with tea or coffee, were served. Dinner was marvelous. We ordered from one of the menus offered. Standouts were confit de canard and filets de bar. The fish (sea bass) was garnished with shrimp, served with saffron rice and a light lemon butter sauce. The second night one of has the veal chop smothered in fresh, local mushrooms. Before the meal we were served amuse bouche and a sorbet with champagne between courses. For dessert, one of us indulged on the tarte aux pommes with vanilla ice cream (wonderful) and the other on homemade ananas (pineapple) sorbet. The wine selection is excellent and wine by the glass as well as half-bottles are available. We highly recommend Moulin de Vigonac.

Fantastic stay at the Moulin de Vigonac
The staff was excellent - friendly and attentive. The dinners there had excellent food at good value. The grounds are quiet and romantic, with a functioning millwheel! The only drawback is that the location requires a car - it's isolated from Brantome.

A lovely old mill converted into a wonderful B & B
The property is beautiful with a stream running through and glorious vegetation and flowers. Our room was large and comfortable. When we arrived and asked about a laundry to do ourselves, Madame immediately said she would do the laundry which she did without charge. This generous offer saved us so much time and effort and is probably the nicest gesture any hotel or B & B can make. Thank you, Madame. We had dinner there which was delicious with wonderful fois gras, wine. Monsieur is the chef and he's terrific. Too bad we couldn't stay longer than the 2 nights we had planned.

Stay was too short!
From the reception to our departure the staff was superb. Their restaurant was closed the night we arrived. A car and driver took us to our choice of nearby open restaurants and picked us up so we did not need to drive in the strange town at night. The breakfasts and dinners that followed there were awesome. Personal touch at every turn. Room with the best bath delightful.

Glorious hotel - a real find
We were welcomed by the proprietor and his wife, who knew our names when they came out to meet us. They could not have been more attentive, and gave us several recommendations of what to see and where to eat locally. They all turned out to be very good suggestions. We ate at the hotel one evening and the food was exquisite. Just glorious, and in a perfect setting outside, overlooking the extensive gardens. My wife and I would strongly recommend this hotel, it is a gem.

This is one of the most beautiful places I have had the pleasure of staying at! The family that run Moulin de Vigonac are so welcoming, friendly and very helpful.

A real gem
Moulin de Vigonac is really something very special and a testament to the 10 years hard work by Oliver and his family in getting the business up and running. The hotel is situated in a beautiful, tranquil location away from the main town and the warm welcome from Oliver and his mother, Giselle, will set the tone for your stay. The bedrooms are very well equipped and beautifully decorated - it's all about understated quality and a high degree of comfort. Moulin de Vigonac deserves every single one of its excellent ratings.

Luxurious but pricy
Nice setting, excellent room, welcoming owner. Some parts of evening dinner menu OK - the amuse bouche, the entree, the sorbet were excellent. The main course (confit of duck - rather greasy and quality similar to what you'd expect in a €13 menu at a street cafe) poor value and the cheeses nothing special. Least expensive wine €31 a bottle - yes €31! Breakfast ridiculously priced at €17... we didn't partake

Great food, friendly staff & excellent facilities
We stayed here for one night as a stop over while driving through France and had a fantastic stay. We were greeted by the owners on arrival and taken to our room which was extremely well presented and had been refurbished recently. We ate dinner in the hotel restaurant and decided to try the local specialities and were v impressed both with the standard of cooking and the attentive service. Breakfast was equally good with a selection of fruits and pastries followed by eggs prepared to order. We finished our visit with a short walk in the peaceful grounds. Overall a v enjoyable stay and good value for money too given the high standard of the accommodation and food.
