Great location and food

Very comfortable hotel and breakfast was great - location wise very pretty overlooking the weir and pond. Be aware though that if there is very heavy rain some of the paths leading up to the hotel can flood but once you are over that it’s great. Staff were good as well can get busy at dinner time

A very convivial evening with a lovely ambience in a cosy room. There were a couple of log burning fires. Breakfast was in the main dining area overlooking the extensive grounds and waters that fed the mill. The food in the evening was excellent and breakfast very nice. The staff were very helpful and friendly. The bar had a couple of decent beers. The gardens I imagine would be great in the summer months.

Amazing 5* service

We stayed here for one night. Our room was lovely, very clean and cosy, lots of lovely touches to make it homely and they thought of everything including a fresh bottle of water and milk in the fridge. The shower and bath were both great and everything was spotless. We ate dinner in the restaurant that night, it was packed but the service was fantastic and the food delicious, we both had the mussels. The cocktails were brilliant too, we’d already had a cocktail each earlier in the afternoon and I wanted a pornstar martini as my next one, the bar man said they ran out of something that was needed and I let out an ‘nooooooo’ as they are my favourite. He then said he was sure he could figure something out and he still made me it, and it was as delicious as they always are. We also had the breakfast in the morning, we both had a yogurt compot with granola and then the full English and that was delicious too. I also saw a lady come in who had wanted one of the yogurt compots but we had the last ones and the girl serving went and made her one. Nothing was too much for the staff here! The service is incredible. We would definitely recommend and we will definitely go back in the future.

We took a short midweek break at the old mill. We were looking for somewhere quiet and secluded and weren't disappointed. The room we booked had a lovely terrace that would have been nice to sit out in had the weather not been so wet.The room itself was warm, clean and very quiet. It was in a house separated from the mill itself which meant a short walk to breakfast and dinner but we didnt mind that. We booked dinner there for our stay and were impressed with the quality of the food and the variety of dishes. There was also a fantastic selection of drinks on offer. The old mill really is a lovely tranquil place to stay and I can honestly say we have come away feeling relaxed and chilled out. The staff were welcoming, kind and friendly. Thankyou to everyone who made our stay so great. We will definitely be back again soon. I would add that if you book direct with the old mill they offer incentives to do so. We will be making sure we do this in future.
