Reviews and Ratings
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel! The rooms were stunning, featuring a really comfortable four-poster bed and a jacuzzi bath, making it the perfect place to relax. The breakfast was lovely and can even be brought to your room. The only downside was that the pub/restaurant was a bit far to walk in the cold December air.
The Mill offers some of the best customer service with spacious and well-laid-out rooms, though some areas smelled stale. The location is brilliant for both travel and weddings, but be prepared for large groups.
I was a bit disappointed to find myself in a simple room while others in my group had luxury accommodations, but the cleanliness and comfort made up for it. The staff, especially the lady at reception, were very warm and welcoming. The dining could use some improvement with better quality sausages, but the fantastic service and stunning location made my stay memorable.
