We had a lovely stay at The Miller’s Arms. It was very convenient to park and get in and out of town, and to walk around the city and see all the sights. Very charming old historic building, friendly staff, fun food options for breakfast, and comfortable accommodations overall. I would definitely stay here again and would recommend.

We had the millers room, biggest room in the hotel. Shower is a bit tricky, but doable, friendly staff. We were there on the hottest days and a fan to move some air would have been helpful. Nice location, all in all a very nice stay

The weather was very hot so my room on the 2nd floor was a but stuffy. Given the type of accommodation - traditional pub rather than modern hotel it was acceptable.

Great location by the scenic Great Stour, with views of the bridge and a historic mill. Just minutes from key attractions. The double room was clean, quiet, and comfortable, with a spacious bathroom. Discounted parking available through the hotel. Excellent breakfast and friendly staff. The only minor issue was that the room got a bit too warm during the heatwave, but I’d gladly return during cooler weather.
