Each room is air-conditioned and soundproofed, with premium bedding and a kettle available on request.

Pool & Grounds

The hotel has an outdoor heated swimming pool with sun loungers, umbrellas, and a fence around the pool for safety. The property includes a tree-filled parkland that links to the riverbank, where the original waterwheel is still operational. Guests can relax on the sun terrace or walk along the river Dronne, which cradles the mill.
