Fantastic stay.

A beautiful weekend away for my wife and I for our wedding anniversary. The Old Mill is a fantastic place to stay. Very warm and welcoming staff, lovely and clean rooms. Well thought out decor. Excellent food choice and plenty of it on your plate. Will definitely be staying again and recommend to others.

A traditional coaching inn that has been well cared for. The en suite was fairly new and the bedroom small but adequate; both were clean and nicely presented. Dinner food/service both very good. Breakfast adequate. All in all we were both very pleased with our decision to stay here.

Great 1 night stay at The Old Mill. Check in was smooth greeted by one of the team in reception. Room was clean and comfortable. Pillows were a bit too firm but just my view. Food in restaurant was some of the best pub food I have had for a long time and good value. Restaurant was surprisingly busy for mid-week and good to see. Breakfast also was the same great quality. Will definitely be back!
