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.

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.

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.

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.

I dont often leave reviews, although I stay away often, usually at chain hotels. The Team at the Old Mill were great, good check in experience, decent dinner and breakfast. Will be coming back when in the area again.

Business Trip

Booked the wrong Old Mill Rooms are very tired and in need of some tlc It felt like you were kept apart from the locals as on the night I stayed I was the only one in the dining area, but certainly not the only person eating It is in a quite area with a stream running across the front so initially looks very nice it is in need of some updating regards to the rooms, especially for the pricing
