We stayed in the garden suite as we had the dog with us. The room was ok but a bit tired. Bonus to have two bathrooms! Good and spacious and works for a family. Very frustrating though that there was no phone signal or WiFi available in the room and this wasn’t clear from the outset. And given the cost of the stay, would expect this to be better. Breakfast was mediocre and had to send back to be cooked better but was barely changed. Service was good in the restaurant. Reception staff not quite so good.

After a bad start being given a room that was very poor condition and small outdated and in need of a refurbishment, then given a slightly larger room only to discover the bathroom was in poor state, only one person can fit in at a time, hot water comes out of both taps and on closer inspection, carpets and sofa need cleaning, no internet service, these rooms are in the Old Swan, eventually got internet in pub was able to view my booking these rooms are not worth the £240 and were very different to advertised, finally as per my booking we were given a room at minster mill hotel, modern and clean room and bathroom, still no internet, but now can finally could enjoy our break away for husband’s birthday, was given a bottle of Prosecco and chocolates as complimentary, had a fantastic evening meal in the hotel and husbands breakfast was delicious, I chose the wrong dish beware banana pancakes you get dried bananas which wasn’t what I expected I thought this was going to be fresh! The staff was lovely and helpful, eventually we enjoyed our stay, would return but would definitely check the booking before leaving to make sure the stay is in Minster Mill hotel.

The staff were lovely and very welcoming and the food was amazing. The bedding and towels were lovely and clean and the bed was very comfortable. The bathroom was tired and although an overhead shower was provided there was no shower curtain which made it impossible to take a normal shower. We felt the room was generally tired looking and not as clean as it could have been.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
On the positive side, the hotel is a pleasant setting. However, the check-in process was slow and not very informative. The internet wasn’t working anywhere in the hotel, and with no mobile signal available, we were unable to communicate with our family. The room also had several cobwebs, many within easy reach, which made us question how thoroughly it had been cleaned. Just after midnight, we were woken by drunk guests returning to the room next door, and the noise continued for some time. We visited the bar and restaurant, but they also fell short of expectations. The staff were friendly and hardworking, but service was quite slow, particularly for drinks; on one occasion, it took 30 minutes to receive a drink. There appeared to be a lack of organisation, with staff needing to go across the road to the pub to collect condiments and drinks. Of the two meals we ordered, the steak was fine, but the cod was unfortunately quite poor, it certainly wasn't fresh. Additionally, several drinks listed on the menu were unavailable. Upon checking out we were not asked how our stay was and if everything had been okay.

Rooms are nice, with great facilities in room and also on site. Restaurant has great food. However there is an inherent problem with the WiFi connectivity at this location and being in a valley the mobile signal is none existent in rooms also. For those travelling for business like myself, and working with confidential data, connecting to a hotspot in a bar is less than ideal. With no mobile signal in rooms is borderline dangerous as you are uncontactable should any emergency occur. It’s my 3rd or 4th time staying and only once has the WiFi been working properly, so don’t be led to believe it’s a temporary or one off issue upon arrival. It’s such a shame as it’s a fantastic location and should the WiFi be sorted, would stay there more often.

The first time ever we left a weekend break a day early. The room was unbearable. So hot even with heating off and windows open. Very noisy it felt like we were sleeping in a boiler room. The bed was uncomfortable we had to ask for extra pillows to fill the gap between the bed and mattress as the pillows disappeared down the gap during the night. The sheets rustled like a crisp packet. The hotel had no WiFi which reception made out was a temporary problem but had a sign printed and framed! After reading previous reviews this is a longer term problem. This was not a 4 star hotel as advertised.

Non existent customer service. No wifi at all during the stay, room lacked basic amenities, only toiletries provided in the room were shower gel and shampoo, 1 roll of toilet paper. Room needed some basic maintenance as wallpaper was cracking as well as the ceiling paint. we had a broken light switch, reported to front desk and no one was sent to fix it. My partner called ahead of time as we got engaged the day we checked in and was assured they would set special something up in our room. They did not accommodate this request, he spoke to concierge about this and the lady could not have cared less. A real shame as the grounds are absolutely beautiful and the bar staff were lovely, however the maintained rooms and poor customer service/ lack of care was a real turn off and a disappointing stay as a result.

£190 for a room that doesn’t have WiFi in 2025 is unacceptable. Room poorly maintained, lights not working, towel rail not working, bed headboard all dislodged. Breakfast was in a pub across the street (not ideal) half an hour from order taken to food arriving and then they got it wrong. Cold tea as well. If I could give it zero stars, I would.
