An exquisite hotel in a perfect setting. We stayed two nights in two different suites - Room 7 and the big panoramic suite with it's balcony over the river. Fab rooms and the best ever bathrooms. Big separate showers and jacuzzi baths, windows opening onto the spectacular view. The 33 euro three course dinner is included in the price, but we chose two courses from the a la carte instead and weren't charged the extra 10 euros on either night, we just paid for our wine which was 26 euros. Karine was most helpful and told us of lots of places to visit, we felt so welcome and "at home" we didn't want to leave. The swimming pool was excellent and we enjoyed taking one of the rowing boats down the river. I really think this hotel takes a lot of beating. To me it was perfect and I can't wait to go again.

An historic former mill in a beautiful location on the Seine. All the staff were very professional, especially the lady who runs the reception. She couldn't be more polite and helpful, and thoughfully upgraded us to a nicer room on arrival. Our half board rate included dinner in the cosy restaurant with a covered terrace overlooking the river, which was executed by a competent kitchen at reasonable prices (3-course menus start at 33 euros). They did seafood very well, evidenced by an unexpectedly tasty entree of warm oysters in a light camembert sauce. Wine list is 95% french with some interesting options, and we chose a Chateau Fonbel from St Emilion (same owner as the first growth Chateau Ausone) from 2000 for 49 euros. We took a look at several other rooms - all were tastefully decorated, with recently refurbished, modern and spotless bathrooms, including some with jacuzzi baths. Rooms on the first floor have tall ceilings and feel more spacious, while rooms on the second floor feel more cosy. The continental breakfast which was brought to our room had freshly squeezed orange juice, a large thermos pot of coffee, hot frothy milk, and toasty butter croissants and pains au chocolat. The hotel shares the facilities of its 3-hectare island with a neighbouring holiday apartment complex, including 2 small outdoor swimming pools (not yet opened as of early May), a children's playground, a tennis court and a boathouse. With the high summer season not yet in full bloom, our stay was quiet and relaxing. We would gladly come back again.

We were fortunate enough to stay at the Moulin de Connelles on our way back from a trip to the Loire in May 08. The hotel is 10 minutes from the Autoroute on the South side of Rouen, and as such is perfectly located for stop-overs on the way back north. The hotel is in a fantastic location, right on the river, and the swallows fly all around with their unmistakable calls. We had room nine, a small suite on the second floor, with views up the river and a small balcony. The room was pleasant but in no way ostentatious. The bathroom was very nicely done, and had a very decent shower, though we were a little surprised by the fact that the bathroom istefl did not have a door. Instead it opened onto the lobby inside the main door to the corridoor, with a door between that and the bedroom. This hotel is run in a very friendly manner, and we were made to feel very welcome indeed, arriving as we did, tired and a little wrung out after 3 hours of high speed driving in an open-topped car. I have to say that the jewel in the crown of the whole experience was the restaurant, where the menu was both comprehensive and thoughtful. We had a fabulous meal, and the wine was not expensive. Service in the restaurant was very good indeed. My only regret is that we had not allowed more time for exploring the gardens and generally chilling out, as this seemed to me to be the perfect place for doing just that. As it was, we arrived at 6pm and were gone before 9:30am the next morning, which was a shame, but we plan to return with a little more time to kill. Who would like this hotel? Those seeking quality French accommodation, without unnecessary frills, good food, a warm welcome and a romantic location.

Awsome, simply perfect. What a fantastic place. Close to calais on the hoon back to the boat and too close to monet's gardens that it's rude not to visit! As our last night's stay of our hoeymoon it was perfect. With very friendly, english speaking staff and possibly the best meal out of the 16 we had. To the people who say it's not cheap I would agree, it isnt. But over-priced it is most definately NOT! Quality dosnt come cheap but it ain't mega bucks. Take one of the boats out up the river, it's a great chance to take some snaps, and quite romantic to boot. I am boring anyone I know about this place, and it will certainly become a regular place for us to stay on the way home.

We recently held our wedding banquet at the Moulin de Connelles and all of guests were impressed with the restaurant's beautiful environment and the superb service provided by the staff. We had guests from Asia and the US and everyone raved about the food and the wine at our banquet - the cuisine was classical French but inventive and beautifully presented, with an emphasis on sweet and fruity flavors. The foie gras crumble served with "pain d'épices" was particularly delicious. The staff also spoke English very well and this made non-francophone guests feel comfortable. The Moulin also served cocktails to our guests in the garden and this gave us the opportunity to take a lot of gorgeous pictures. Even the toddlers were happy - there was enough room to them to move around, in the dining rooms and in the garden, and for their parents to take care of them. We don't think we could have chosen a better place for our wedding party - we headed back to Paris afterwards and stopped by the Chateau Gaillard on the way. Some of our guests also visited Giverny, which is not far away from Connelles. We left with literally thousands of great photos of the manor and excellent memories of the banquet.
