This was a convenient location for the C2C. Food was not bad pub food. Accommodation in need of refurbishment which is a shame as the building has great potential. Staff friendly and accommodating.

Excellent food and drinks in this rustic old mill.

Made welcome as soon as I arrived and Pauline was an excellent hostess. Anything was no bother and even went out of her way for guests. Food was excellent and I will be back anytime I am in area. Try the Surf and Turf Fajita and the Chicken burger is a must. Rooms tidy and clean.

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.

Lovely setting and lovely staff. The food was very good and Pauline, the owner was very friendly and helpful - as were all of the staff. Quirky touches throughout, including our bedroom.

Stayed at the old mill for 2 night as attending a wedding in the area. Accommodation was lovely, rooms kept in the style off he old mill. Only things missing in the room was a full length mirror and the light was poor. The proprietor was helpful and accommodating.

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.

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!

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.

Tired room, good service and breakfast

We stayed one night, it was a funny mix of a place. The bedding was lovely and clean, bed very comfy. Breakfast was very good. But the room was very tired, dirty ornaments and decorations, grey towels, broken loo roll holder and towel rail, dangerously sharp cracked tiles in bathroom that moved when you stood on them.Filthy bathmat (see pic) and bedroom rug.I dont like to diss anyones business, but having seen so many good reviews, I feel the other side of the story should be shown as well

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.
