We stayed in the Millers house. Nice touch of biscuits and real milk. Only point about cleaning was the radiator had water marks on. Some room off of ours had a whirring boiler or something but we slept well.
We enjoyed a lovely mid week break - breakfast - pre dinner drinks - yummy dinner. All served with a smile in the company of good friends.

Jan and his team were great. Warm welcome, very attentive and couldn’t have been more helpful. I was meeting a friend for a few drinks and they made her very welcome from the outset. The accommodation was lovely too. Proper coffee machine and a cosy room. Couldn’t recommend enough :-)

Stayed just one night and absolutely loved it. The pub is cozy and welcoming, and our king room was gorgeous — luxurious bed, beautiful finishings, and lovely little touches like homemade biscuits.
Dinner was outstanding — exceptional service and incredible food. The mussels were some of the best I’ve ever had, and both the fish pie and stuffed chicken were delicious. Great wine selection too!
Big thanks to Martha, Grace, and Corey for making our stay so special. Breakfast was just as lovely. Can’t wait to come back!
Staff were very friendly and made you feel welcome. I stayed two nights room was lovely in the converted house next door.
Food was delicious I recommend the mussels
Highly recommend the Old Mill
The room was clean and charming although a bit tired (the lamp shades kept tipping over and the toilet flush was loose) but the bed and pillows were comfortable and we slept well. Unfortunately the bathroom had an unpleasant smell when using the shower. If we had booked in for longer than one night we would have asked to move rooms. This was reported and I was told that it would be looked into to get the problem rectified.
The staff were very helpful and friendly, given how busy they were when we arrived.
We didn't have a pet with us but we do dog sit and are confident that if we had brought her along she would have been welcomed and her needs accommodated.
Overall the hotel was lovely and the location very picturesque. It is on a busy road so you can only really venture out by car .
A beautiful property with a wonderful attentive team. Dean, one of the Assistant Manager’s, was an outstanding host which made our stay very special.
Thank you to the whole team… can’t wait to return
Stayed for a couple of nights, wish we could have stayed longer! Room was bigger than expected, clean and lots of light, comfy bed,. Food delicious, cocktails and drinks great, staff friendly and welcoming and a besutiful setting by the river and lush gardens. Hope to return again.
Really nice old fashioned pub. The grounds are amazing with secret gardens which are well worth exploring.

Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort
Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
The room was on the ground floor, so other than opening the windows there was no other ventilation.
The bath didnt hold water!
The bottles of soap for both the bath and shower were too high to use.
We had a shared sea food platter for our dinner, cold and not very interesting at £33.
Very pretty pub with rooms in a gorgeous riverside setting. Accessed across two walkways across the river, the pub is cleverly designed and decorated, making the most of its watermill heritage. The staff are very friendly and keen to help. Our room was bigger than expected and well equipped, and supper in the conservatory overlooking the river was impressive. Breakfast too was perfect, the wonderful staff really adding to the experience. Well done team. You hit all the right spots.
