I do not agree with previous reviews thinking this overpriced and run down. This was in a beautiful, lush setting with working, and greasy, water wheel. The check in was very smooth and the minimal English spoken was enough that our needs were understood. The room was spacious and a portable crib was provided for our two year old. It... more

If you are looking for a room with a bed that virtually fills the available space, and a bathroom fashioned out of a closet, then this is the place to go. The bed, furthermore, in this era of Queen- and King-sized mattresses, is an old-fashioned double. The room's very small TV is squeezed onto a desk tucked into a corner.... more

Moulins des Ruats hotel is located in a quite place in the middle of a small vallay close to Avallon in Northern Burgundy. Though part of "relais et chateaux" hotels and pretending to be 3 stars, at list from the price range, it misses a few things to be a real gem. First, the decoration: half of the rooms have... more

Our stay at the Moulin Ruats was the high light of our trip. I sympathize with the writer who hates to share this little paradise with the world. The atmosphere is very cozy but at the same time has a touch of elegance. Service is outstanding. My husband enjoyed going to the lounge for a coffee in the late afternoons.... more

I'm almost hesitant to rave about this hotel because I want to able to still book rooms here in the future ;-) We absolutely loved our 3 day stay here and I wish we had booked more nights! We had rooms 3 and 4, 4 was great, 3 a bit small, but both with a view on the river. That... more

We stayed at le Moulin des Ruats for two nights in early June 08. The hotel is very prettily situated on the banks of the Cousin river (which should be a tranquil stream but because of the rains we have been having lately, is more like a raging torrent at present!). Our room (20) on the second floor cost Euros... more

For a francophile in search of a truly "French" hotel, this is a dream -- cozy rooms, many with terraces, a mill and stream right on site, and mostly French tourists, all happily chowing down on fresh trout, a superb cheese cart, and a nip of Cognac afterwards in the parlor. If this isn't your idea of a dream come... more

A friend mentioned this as a good stopover on the trip from Provence to Paris which we wanted to do in two days --- we drove up and were lucky to get a room. We had a lovely lovely country French room with terrace -- the hotel sits on a beautiful stream in the woods and has a large working... more

The hotel is really lovely situated in a valley. The rooms are nice and big. Make sure to get one with river view because this view is worth a little extra money. What is not worth its money - and here is the but - is the restaurant. You pay for the view, the food was okay but definetly too... more
