We had a lovely stay at The Miller’s Arms. It was very convenient to park and get in and out of town, and to walk around the city and see all the sights. Very charming old historic building, friendly staff, fun food options for breakfast, and comfortable accommodations overall. I would definitely stay here again and would recommend.

We had the millers room, biggest room in the hotel. Shower is a bit tricky, but doable, friendly staff. We were there on the hottest days and a fan to move some air would have been helpful. Nice location, all in all a very nice stay

We had a very friendly welcome from Paul at the bar who booked us in and gave us a discounted rate at the carpark opposite. All the bar staff were friendly and helpful. The room we had didnt have aircon, and the small fan provided was extremely noisy, maybe a point for management to consider. We were within easy walking distance of restaurants and the Marlowe Theatre. Breakfast next day was very good, with enough choice for all diets. Would definitely recommended and would stay again.

Would definitely stay again, but hope they can fix the shower in the twin room as it was scalding and the temperature control was not working. Staff fabulous, food amazing and very clean. Parking convenient with special permit for 24 hour parking in car park opposite.
