Excellent value for money and convenient location for exploring the area. The staff were always pleasant, polite and helpful. Breakfast had something for everyone (full English, eggs benedict, cereal and pastries baked to order) and was good quality, the dinner menu was a fairly typical pub menu but the quality was good and portions huge. I want to return just to try the chips again - I haven't had such delicious chips in years!

Great little find. Really lovely stay and the staff were so helpful and friendly which was lovely. The property is well maintained and very clean, We had a double room with a comfortable, king sized bed and a modern bathroom with an great shower. The food was tasty, well proportioned and we ate in the restaurant for all three nights of our stay. Breakfast was good and lots of choice too. We would highly recommend The Old Mill.

Everybody at the property was very welcoming and helpful. The breakfast was excellent great choice. And you would be Renz not to eat in the restaurant there. It is very popular with many of the locals and there is a reason for that. The food is excellent. There are great portions and it is nice just to sit in a cozy English pub to eat.

Our room, while not over-big, was v clean quiet and all facilities were in good working order. Excellent shower. The food was great, well cooked and big choice- both breakfast and the evening meal. Reasonably priced. Staff helpful and efficient. We'll look forward to returning sometime and already recommending it to friends and family.

The staff were absolutely lovely here, in every area; bar, kitchen, cleaners; everyone we interacted with were just a pleasure to deal with. The breakfast was great and really good value with great, friendly service. We also ate an evening meal there; portions were huge and great choice. Rooms were comfortable and perfect for a couple of nights. I would definitely return and would have no hesitation in recommending this to anyone. And if I wasn’t clear at the beginning, the staff are fantastic; a real asset to the business!
