Le Moulin De Poilly Bed & Breakfast - Poilly-sur-Serein

Le Moulin De Poilly - A Historic Riverside Escape with Home-Cooked Burgundian Dining

Accommodation & Grounds

Le Moulin De Poilly is a restored Burgundian mill set on the Serein river in Poilly-sur-Serein, offering family rooms with private bathrooms and river views. The property's garden and terrace provide direct access to the water, where guests can observe local wildlife including rare orchids and bird life. Each spacious suite has a separate sitting area, with furnishings that preserve the building's historical charm, such as cedar ceilings and original wooden staircases.

Dining & Host Experience

Evening meals at Le Moulin De Poilly are a four-course, home-cooked French dinner prepared by the owners, who accommodate specific dietary needs upon request. Breakfast is served in a room that retains the mill's 18th-century character, with local produce and fresh bread. Guests should note there are no restaurants in the village itself, so booking the host's dinner is the primary on-site dining option.

Activities & Local Access

Cycling, hiking, and fishing are available directly from the hotel's riverfront location in the Burgundian countryside. The hotel is 15 minutes by car from the medieval village of Noyers and 15 minutes from the wine town of Chablis, which offers tasting rooms. Major cultural sites such as the Roman basilica at Vézelay (27 miles) and the clock tower of Auxerre (19 miles) are reachable by a short drive.

Family-Friendly Spaces

Le Moulin de Poilly provides quadruple rooms with a queen bed, two twin beds, and an additional twin, all within a single large suite. The rooms are arranged to give families a separate sitting area, while the garden offers a safe space for children to play. Parents can take advantage of the hotel's private parking and the owners' knowledge of local cycling and walking routes suited for all ages.

Hotel Services & Languages

The reception is staffed in German, English, Spanish, and French, assisting guests with directions and activity recommendations. Free on-site private parking eliminates the need for street searching, and the hotel provides a terrace with a bath and shower for rinsing off after outdoor excursions. Châlons Vatry Airport is 88 miles away, with Auxerre and Avallon train stations about 30 minutes by car.
