Moulin de Vigonac

We were disappointed with our stay having read all the amazing reviews. There were some good points eg the warm welcome, beautiful setting and lovely swimming pool but the decor of our room was tired and dated. There was a strong smell of damp on arrival caused by an ageing and inefficient shower mat. The room was gloomy and the bed linen and bathrobes were worn. It was hard to keep the bathroom floor dry. The whole experience was uncomfortable and we felt that the room was overpriced compared to other places we stayed. The breakfast was also overpriced and lacked quality and variety.

Wonderful family run hotel. Oliver the son and his mother welcome us when we arrived, escort us to the great room and waited us for dinner. Room was lovely spacious and clean. Dinner was served in the restaurant and we found that the mother and Oliver friend serving us a great 3 course dinner. When we asked who is the chef we were told its the father. So as described, a wonderful small hotel, well recommended

In brief: The hosts 5*. A lovely lady and her son who were very welcoming. Location 5*. Situated by streams with large garden (mainly grass). Very quiet - no road noise. Easy ramble into town. We took the route described by the owner but it took a looong time! (About 30 mins ) Maybe we took a wrong turn. Amenities 3*. Small outdoor pool which was like the Baltic, plenty of sun beds. NO BAR ! NO KETTLE! Quelle catastrophe! I’d read a review which said that room service could provide drinks but there is no mention of room service in the info provided in the room. Rooms 3* Mixed feelings on this one. Room was spotlessly clean and tastefully decorated BUT separate loo had no hand basin and bathroom was tired. Shower was one of those that you have to run about in to get wet. Water pressure kept dropping and so it went from cold to hot and back again. Hairdryer was one of those attached to wall with a flexible hose - it was pretty feeble. There is a small fridge containing water/soft drinks which you can buy. This property is meant to be 4-5* and isnt cheap so I do feel that water which is ‘gratuit’ would be a nice touch. especially since there isn’t a bar! The air con 5* plus ! Clearly new and top notch ! Suitability for kids 2*. Because of the streams young children would need to be supervisedin the garden. This hotel attracts lots of oldies who are there on repeat visits . Food 5* Amazing breakfasts. Evening meals very good but vegetarianism comes at a cost. 28€ for an avocado salad entrée is a tad overpriced . Evening meal served on outdoor terrace which was so cold that we all had to sit in our coats !
