The room we were given (no.6) was adjacent to an external walkway so during the evening particularly busy. There was a drip leak from the ceiling sprinkler system that had stained the quilt prior to our arrival. When the staff were informed they quickly changed the quilt but didn't consider tge cause. The next morning the quilt was wet. On the second morning there was no hot water for a shower. Breakfast was very good. We also had dinner on our first night and that too was good, although a coach party arrived shorytly after we had been seated and ordered so, despite the friendly staff, the speed of service suffered. The billing system applied an automatic 12.5% service charge rather than the customer deciding the %. The surrounding area is quite messy. There seemed to be a lot of young adults attracted to the balcony bar on Saturday evening, although we saw no trouble they were rather noisy so we couldn't sit there for a quiet drink.

Lovely hotel in great location with friendly staff, just felt that for the price of our room the standard wasn’t there- the bathroom so dated and tiny and the breakfast was absolutely terrible, not what you want when you’re spending £180 a night

Booked to stay local to town for friends birthday celebration. Was advised at check in we had been placed in cottage building seperate from main hotel just few yards away. Ground floor room of decent size and checked in quite late before going out for dinner. Blinds in room broken and two large windows were directly alongside main road which was contact with cars and pedestrians and single glazed so extremely noisy with light shining through from main building all night. Room was filthy with cobwebs evident on ceiling, windows had years of dirt around frames and bathroom had ants everywhere. No water pressure in shower and sink plumbed wrong way round so nearly burned ourselves on tap thinking it was cold water. Breakfast was mayhem to say least and when all the above was pointed out to staff at reception no gesture of any kind offered. They had wedding so were at full capacity but even so, room should be clean at very least and it was so noisy got no rest. Shocking really and would not stay again.

Clean and well kept in a great location - staff excellent friendly and efficient - lively and busy bank holiday week end. Some good local beers (Nethergate) Just a suggestion - car park could benefit from in/out signs - there seems to be an accepted entrance but someone came in in the other way which led to a lot of reversing to resolve. Pleasant stay - would use again.

The Mill is a lovely hotel but parts of the building are a little tired looking. The reception was not staffed when we checked out as the receptionist had gone for a drink and we waited for approx 10 mins.Not an ideal time to disappear when customers are wanting to vacate the premises!.The receptionists did not always acknowledge us when leaving and entering the hotel. A beautiful location.

The room was comfortable and quiet. The view from the window was amazing - you are right on the river and look out onto the water meadows. We have dogs, the hotel is very dog friendly, and could walk out of the door straight onto the fields. The staff could not have been more helpful or friendly. Would definitely stay here again.
