Nice stay!

A lovely welcome to a lovely, remote Old Mill house..! The place is beautiful but needs a little TLC which works are being carried out now. The room was OK, big enough but a very cold bathroom - no heat in there at all.. The bed was old & creaky but clean & we slept OK. Tea & Coffee in the room. Bar area and breakfast was first class - always served with a smile. Open fire in bar area made it very cosy. We would stay again. Would love to see the place a little busier which I'm sure it will be once all the remedial works are carried out (new roof was going on & general works around the building) Lovely spot with great walks. Thank you!

Rooms were clean and tidy. We enjoyed a traditional pub meal before attending a local event. The taxi we booked failed to show on time and one of the staff took us, which was great.

Exceptionally Poor Value

The room was tired and in need of some love and attention. On arrival, there was a sheet on the bed to catch debris falling from sizeable gaps in the ceiling whilst the roof was being replaced. Morning time revealed daylight through the gap. Despite the radiator pumping out decent heat when close up, it was ineffective for the room and I spent the night completely freezing and consequently took me some time to dare to get out of the covers in the morning. The bathroom was most uninviting and was even colder than the room - no radiator in here. Should have worn socks to cross the floor. The electric shower made plenty of noise but was also ineffective. The bedroom only had 2x double sockets, three of which were in use by the TV, Freeview box and bedside table lamp (the table almost fell apart when moving). Unplug TV to use kettle. If you have numerous devices to charge then forget it unless you unplug everything else. Lighting was either too bright for relaxing if leaving the main light on, or too dim with the only other light in the room (table lamp). Bed was very wobbly and the metal squeeled with every turn. There was *zero* phone signal via o2 and the wifi in the rooms didn't work, so other than the TV (which mercifully worked fine) there was not much to do. Little soundproofing to the room but it is a pub so accepted this was likely before booking. Offered my feedback after not being asked if everything was okay. Overall, disappointing and one I'll avoid in future.

The bar and outside area was lovely. The room was small and the shower needed a good scrub. Shower sounded like a jet engine and had a very poor water stream. Bits of broken/ removed wall brackets in the en-suite. Food was good - crockery was chipped. Would come back for a drink or meal.

I dont often leave reviews, although I stay away often, usually at chain hotels. The Team at the Old Mill were great, good check in experience, decent dinner and breakfast. Will be coming back when in the area again.

Business Trip

Booked the wrong Old Mill Rooms are very tired and in need of some tlc It felt like you were kept apart from the locals as on the night I stayed I was the only one in the dining area, but certainly not the only person eating It is in a quite area with a stream running across the front so initially looks very nice it is in need of some updating regards to the rooms, especially for the pricing

Reasonable

Not the best, but not the worst. Rooms are rather dated and grubby, you expect insects and spiders in this sort of location, but a lot of webs in the room where you have to put your hands to turn appliances on. Food was good but bar is only open if its worthwhile. Towels were very rough, felt like they were line dried in full sun. A great place if you want to eat and sleep early but dont come for the night life. A bit pricey for what it is.

Frustrated

We booked in online Fri/Sat and had to make payment of £58. When we arrived at hotel Sunday afternoon there seemed to be a bit of confusion about our booking. Once staff sorted out we were charged £170 for the two nights stay. I questioned them about the £58 I had already paid and I was told that the £58 would be credited back into my account, this has not happened. Room was fine but we had problem with front door and I was locked in the bathroom when the door knob come off in my hand locking me in the bathroom, luckily my wife outside the bathroom to let me out. Food was good and first morning breakfast was fine. Unfortunately on our last day we went for breakfast and the restaurant area was locked. I tried calling someone but had no answer this was about 07:45am, I found this a bit strange. I checked on the website and it said the hotel was shut Tuesday to Thursday so we left about 08:00 without breakfast to travel back to Essex. I did manage to get hold of some a couple of hours later to be told the restaurant was open and we were too early for breakfast. I was not happy.
