Lovely staff and quaint hotel; narrow staircase

I accidently went to the Minster Mill hotel but, as they are opposite each other and are sister hotels, the receptionist found my booking and directed me. Be aware the road to the hotel is very narrow - but it is a one-way street and takes you back onto the road you left (like a crescent) when you leave.

Not ideal for business stays

Business stop over. Arrived before check-in time but no effort to see when room would be ready. Was staying in pub part of hotel but they didn't have my booking, not a good start. Very poor phone signal at hotel, often no coverage at all, and internet wasn't connecting so was left unable to operate for work as I would normally do on a trip like this. Room as tired, especially bathroom. Expected better for £170/night. Good things: comfy bed, quiet, excellent food. Unfortunately outweighed by poor things, won't stay again for business, doesn't suit it.

Beautiful Property, But Poor Service and Uncomfort

We stayed at the Minster Mill during summer and, while the grounds and setting are truly beautiful, the experience left a lot to be desired. The rooms have no air conditioning, which we were aware of, but when our fan broke, we were told there were no replacements. Only after pressing did they find one, which was barely functional. The following day we requested a proper replacement and were told it would be handled—no one followed up. Luckily, we had a cousin nearby who lent us a working fan. Service overall was disappointing. The bedside lamps were faulty and required fiddling to work. Staff seemed indifferent and not particularly warm or helpful. The only real moment of good service was from a lovely lady who offered our dog a bowl of water as we passed through the grounds—sadly, that was the best hospitality we received all weekend. Wouldn’t recommend staying here in the summer unless you want to sizzle through the night. It’s a shame, as the setting is gorgeous but the service and comfort levels just didn’t live up to expectations.

Was a lovely stay but some bits need sorting in the rooms. No bathroom light switches?!. Curtain broken in room. Tried to book a meal in the restaurant. They took my number to give me a call back but never did.. The grounds and buildings are stunning. Lovely walks around close by.

A location and property with a lot of potential and yet to label itself "luxury" means a focus on the detail is required, and staff attitude and demeanour that reflects such a claim. Breakfast at the Old Mill was bland and uninspiring, and certainly not worth the £20 + service charge (!!) we were surprised with on our bill at checkout. This was not helped by the terrible attitude of the staff on our 2nd morning. Responding with obvious distain when we ask for an extra Espresso or when we pointed out they had got our order wrong...
