Le Moulin de Connelles

I fell in love with this place and with Karin 💚(an incredible woman who creates such a lovely atmosphere for guests). Now this is my favorite hotel in France. We usually stay in different hotels for only 1 night on short trips , but here we wanted to stay for a long time. We took the room for another night, then came back for one more night on the way back. From any point there is such a view that you want to take a canvas, brushes and paint everything. I am sure that Monet has a painting of this place, it is just lost or in a private collection. He couldn’t missed this.

An absolutely divine spot on the Seine, tucked away and very tranquil and romantic. We just loved our stay. You can take a little rowing boat, have a swim, and the surrounding areas are sweet. A beautiful dining room overlooking the river and good food. Very helpful and charming lady on reception.

If you are on a quest for quiet and tranquility this will be the place. Nestled on a quiet road ( if you blink you miss it ) this wonderful place will offer you the romance and privacy you are looking for with a menu to die for. I did not stay here ( I stayed next door ) however I did visit on multiple occasions over my two-week trip for unforgettable dinners, relaxation by the fireplace, and great conversations with the patron. The river goes through it and the history of the place is worth the visit. The food and the wine are the best you will experience ( better than Aspen or Bever Creek Colorado ). It is truly an experience you must take advantage of when in Normandy.

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 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.

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.

Absolutely amazing location on the Seine. Literally On, as a side stream passes under what was a water mill. Very friendly and helpful owner at reception. Lovely views of the river and a fun island to explore. 2 pools, big enough to cool off in after a long drive in the middle of a heatwave. We were upgraded to a suite with a view and balcony - lovely. The evening meal was very good (but not the cheapest) and the location looking out either side to a riverscape which could have been an impressionist painting could not be bettered. We slept well until we woke up early as we had to get off to the ferry. The water pressure was a bit low but this was in the middle of a heatwave and water concerns.

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.
