Auberge du Moulin Hideux

The Ardennes


With 10 spacious rooms and two suites, this rural former grain mill now Relais & Châteaux hotel oozes genteel refinement. Set behind duck ponds in manicured gardens, it has half-board packages (from single/double €280/360) that include gastronomic dinners in a restaurant that's been Michelin-starred since 1960. The location is in a lonely forest area, 9 circuitous kilometres northeast of Bouillon.

There are coffee makers in each room, and there's no extra charge to use the sauna, steam room and small indoor pool.
