Moulin de Daverdisse, The Originals Relais — Hotel in Daverdisse

I was impressed the moment I spotted the auberge as I walked down the hill. An imposing old building immaculately kept surrounded by beautiful gardens.|At check in Bridget ( the delightful owner) was expecting me and met me with a smile.|Immediately she drove over to Redu to pick my wife up as she could not continue the transardennaise walk due to injury.|Our room was on the top floor. It was huge with a beautiful soft bed and pillows. It had views to the side over the garden and to the front.|The room was spotlessly clean. The bathroom was large with separate bathtub that made good use of.|To relax in a lounge by the river and enjoy a refreshment brought to you by the highly professional Tomas is one of the joys here.|Dinner is a formal affair. Bridget's husband is the chef and he takes fine dining seriously. He does extremely good traditional dishes using local game when available. There is no doubting this as there was still a pellet of buckshot in the duck!|His son is sous chef and does the desserts. We had a berry sorbet on meriengue with soft merengue over.

Stayed near Godinne in Belgium. Had some work close by. ||||Booked this hotel at the last minute. Its in the middle of nowhere, and was not expecting it to be so far from my appointment. ||||However, what a wonderful little place. Rooms perfect, top notch! ||really quite setting, next to a beautiful little river, seats outside next to the river. You could really do some thinking there. ||||The bonus for me was the food. Being a vegetarian in Europe can sometimes be frustrating. The menu looked amazing for a meat eater, but I asked the owners if they could make something for a vegetarian. Turns out the owner who is also the chef, was an expert on vegetarian food. Wow!!! best meal I have had in a long time. ||||Thanks.||||Only issue was the Wi'Fi, in the rooms was not good, so worked mostly downstairs in the lobby....
