River Lodge in brief

Our review

The River Lodge is a charming 4* hotel with 10 unusual rooms, each with a different theme: mountain chalet, trapper's hut or Titanic cabin, for example. The hotel is located in the riverside village of Marèdret, near Maredsous, Belgium.

We stayed at the River Lodge and particularly appreciated the hotel's quiet location, the theme of each room and the quality of the facilities! There are also plenty of walks in the area. Great value for money in the region.

Newlyweds Rodolphe and Amandine embarked on a rather crazy project in 2015: to open a hotel in the Maredsous region. In addition to the theme of each room, the building also has its own history. Historically, it's an old mill. And it's also the second building to be constructed in the village.

On site, you'll be greeted by Amandine or one of the receptionists. All are very friendly and efficient. Communication is possible in French, Dutch or English.

Imagine sailing from jungle to desert, all with your head in the stars. Or discover a snowy, wintry atmosphere. That's exactly what the River Lodge offers.

Here are the 10 rooms:

2 - Au Cœur des montagnes - Cosy mountain chalet - Photo - 🏔️
3 - Au Temps du Roi Soleil - Ambiance vie de château - Photo - 👑
4 - En Route to Krypton - Conquering the stars - Photo - 🪐
5 - Ice Age - Frosted interior between fur and marble - Photo - ❄️
6 - Kalahari room - Sandblasted frescoes and pastel hues - Photo - 🦁
7 - La Cabane du Trappeur - The Great Canadian North - Photo - 🫎
8 - Les Petits Pains Chauds - Nestled in the old mill - Photo - 🥖
9 - Strass & Élégance - Luxurious black and gold suite - Photo - 🪞
10 - Titanic Suite - Discovering the seabed - Photo - 🚢

We were lucky enough to be able to visit all the rooms. Our 2 favorites are La Cabane du Trappeur and Au Coeur des Montagnes. They're the largest and include a bathtub. We also really like Strass & Élégance.

Each room features a king-size double bed with high-quality bedding, a private bathroom with Damana toiletries, and a sitting area with a dining table for two. There's a minibar generously stocked with softs, white wine, rosé wine, red wine, champagne and plenty of snacks for a romantic aperitif. Teas and coffee are complimentary, as is a welcome bottle of water.

If it's raining or snowing outside, umbrellas are available at reception. You can also borrow board games on Saturday evenings and by prior arrangement. Finally, each room is equipped with a Smart TV, so you can easily connect to Netflix, for example.

There are formulas and extras:

- The Romance Pack (book 48 hours in advance): on arrival, a large bottle of champagne awaits you, along with rose petals and a small treat!
- Apéro du terroir: fine beers and delicious cheese fromMaredsous Abbey await you in your room for a royal aperitif.
- Le petit déjeuner du meunier: with freshly baked viennoiseries and warm breads, fruit juice, yogurt, fruit, jam, cheese, ham and other goodies.
- The "L'écrevisse riante" breakfast: the same as above, but with little gustatory surprises such as scrambled eggs, bacon, pastries and bubbles!
- Le festin du moulin (book 48 hours in advance): this platter includes several hot and cold culinary creations with smoked salmon or foie gras, for example. A real treat!

If you take a breakfast, it is left outside your room between 9 and 9:30 am and you can enjoy it in privacy.

The hotel also offers in-room massages: you can choose between a 30-minute back and neck massage or a 60-minute body massage. It is essential to book your massage 48 hours in advance, subject to the masseuse's availability.

The River Lodge is located in the Belgian village of Maredret, at the end of a romantic road. It's a rural village that has retained its authentic character, with bluestone buildings and a Benedictine monastery. There's plenty to do in the surrounding area, including walks on the nearby Ravel river (bicycles are available for hire), a visit to Maredsous Abbey or a tour of the town of Dinant and its Citadel.
