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.
Hilary, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

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.
John, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

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.

4/10 Fair

Exceptionally Poor Value

The room was tired and in need of some love and attention. On arrival, there was a sheet on the bed to catch debris falling from sizeable gaps in the ceiling whilst the roof was being replaced. Morning time revealed daylight through the gap. Despite the radiator pumping out decent heat when close up, it was ineffective for the room and I spent the night completely freezing and consequently took me some time to dare to get out of the covers in the morning. The bathroom was most uninviting and was even colder than the room - no radiator in here. Should have worn socks to cross the floor. The electric shower made plenty of noise but was also ineffective. The bedroom only had 2x double sockets, three of which were in use by the TV, Freeview box and bedside table lamp (the table almost fell apart when moving). Unplug TV to use kettle. If you have numerous devices to charge then forget it unless you unplug everything else. Lighting was either too bright for relaxing if leaving the main light on, or too dim with the only other light in the room (table lamp). Bed was very wobbly and the metal squeeled with every turn. There was *zero* phone signal via o2 and the wifi in the rooms didn't work, so other than the TV (which mercifully worked fine) there was not much to do. Little soundproofing to the room but it is a pub so accepted this was likely before booking. Offered my feedback after not being asked if everything was okay. Overall, disappointing and one I'll avoid in future.

2/10 Poor

The bathroom was dirty with mouldy grout, a cracked window, cracks in a lot of appliances, an unclean toilet and cobwebs throughout.I love spiders but I didn’t expect to see so many in a ‘freshly cleaned’ bathroom.The room itself was a mismatch of furniture, not shabby chic but just odd pieces. I was given a ground floor room with a window that opened fully with no safety catches and a second internal door which couldn’t be secured and opened from the outside! All furniture was in poor repair with cracks, splinters and botched repairs. I ended up sleeping in my own sleeping bag. There was a constant loud dripping noise all night, esp loud beside the bed. It came from outside the room. At morning I went to return the key asap. Yes breakfast was included but if the cleanliness of the dining room was on a par with that of the room it wasn’t worth the risk. I did mention to the manageress the loud drip but was told that maybe I was a light sleeper and there was nothing they could do about it. I’m not a light sleeper. I have photos of everything mentioned. If I’d checked in with more time I would have brought up these issues there and then. Reception was closed when I returned and if there was an out of hours number I missed it. Not at all worth the money charged. Never again.

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.

Stayed for one night. Room was large, comfortable and very clean. In fitting with the quirky pub, very oldy worldly.

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.

We really enjoyed our stay. Lovely friendly staff, great food and service. The room was well equipped and comfortable with lots of character.

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!

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.
