Le Moulin De Connelles

We have stayed here before maybe 10 years earlier. We have the warmest memories of this place and our visit now lived up to past experience. Most beautiful hotel we've stayed in and the proprietor and staff welcoming, excellent. Restaurant is great as well. For the setting, quality of restaurant, and everything else I think an excellent value, We want to return next year. Stayed 3 days this time, maybe a little longer next. Good access Rouen, Giverny, etc.

Over the past two + decades we've enjoyed scores of privately run “hotel restaurants” throughout France. The combination of tranquil grounds, a mansion with architectural character, and a very friendly and engaging Proprietaire, Madame Karine Petiteau, make this a very special place — and one to which we hope to return. During out two night stay, and especially at dinner (served on the lovely enclosed balcony over a spar of the river), it became apparent that this is a local venue for heartwarming anniversary and multi-generational family events. Our suite, “Olive,” was renovated very nicely just last year with traditional wall fabrics — what a fine touch (literally). The river enters under the room’s balcony, and exits under its siting room. I’ll attach some pictures because I think those here on TA and even on the hotel website don’t quite do the room justice. Even the pics don’t fully capture it, however. Also note: The dining (the chef is Madame Petiteau’s husband) was very good over our two dinners and two breakfasts — and indeed we stayed for lunch on the day we checked out. I'll also attach pictures of some plates, and the dinning terrace. PS: And if you visit Giverny from here, we recommend taking the D1 — it was a beautiful drive. I'll attach one picture of that "entrance" Giverny.

We only got to stay at this hotel for one evening but it was the best on our roadtrip. The owner made us feel so welcome right from the start and very much at home. We really appreciated being able to keep our dog with us for dinner and breakfast, with all the staff making such a fuss of him that even he would like to go back! The food in the evening was excellent, with great recommendations for wine and digestifs as well. It is in a beautiful location on the river and there was a small island where we could let the dog off the lead for a run as well which was great. It's a very convenient spot for a UK tunnel crossing, about 2 and half hours from Calais so we very much hope to return! Breakfast was also very nice with homemade pastries, baguette, cheese, ham and jams.

We stayed as a stopover for one night. The hotel is situated above the river in a wonderful location. We had two rooms both of which were well furnished and had comfortable beds. Each room had its own characteristics and one had air conditioning with a mezanine. The beds were very comfortable. The service was excellent. Very friendly and very much focused on your needs. Breakfast is served in a separate resturant and reminds of the very best of a traditional French hotel breakfast with a wide spread of local produce, more than you can really eat. For service and location this is definately a hotel to return to.

11 years in the making I had been planning on visiting since 2011, however the stars had never aligned on my trips. Fortunately when we eventually made it in 2022, it lived up to my expectations. Its a great building in a fabulous location where peace and tranquillity descend on you. The food was fabulous but its not the most wide ranging menu, so if your a fussy eater you may struggle. Try the local cider, it was the best I had on my whole trip. The staff were excellent in particular the owner Karin, you genuinely feel she is welcoming you into her own home. Nothing is too much trouble and she has an infectious enthusiasm. If I can I'll definitely be back.

We celebrated our wedding day at the moulin. A very romantic and somehow magical place alongside the Seine river, bathed in quietness and beauty. The team was very professional and kind from the start of the project until the very end. Excellent table service as well. The food was gorgeous and wines a perfect match. Highly recommend the home-smoked salmon as a first dish. We spent the night in the suite, right on top the river. Waking up with the birds singing to witness the fog lift up to make place for a sunny day is a perfect morning; the breakfast topped it off. Many thanks to the team for a really amazing and successful day. All our guests were delighted.
