Unlike the “could be anywhere” accommodations commonly offered to travelers these days, Le Moulin du Roc is memorable for its location, amenities, and service. We have visited Brantome regularly over the last two decades and stayed at the Moulin on most of those occasions including on our most recent visit in September 2024. We judge it the best among several very good accommodations in the area. Set in a garden near the village of Champagnac de Belair, an easy 10 minute drive from Brantome, the old mill and connected buildings house charming and unique rooms. The restaurant experience has remained among the best we've had in rural France. The food, as always, was well prepared and the service excellent. The Maitre d’/sommelier, who has served us on several visits, is a true professional who clearly wants guests to relax and enjoy themselves. We recommend starting dinner with an aperitif in the salon, adjoining the dining room, and ending there with tea or after dinner drink. Staying at Moulin du Roc remains, we believe, the best way to enjoy Brantome and the lovely surrounding region.
