Lovely property in a great location. Very good choice of meals, and portion sizes that defeated us each night. Staff were pleasant.

A traditional coaching inn that has been well cared for. The en suite was fairly new and the bedroom small but adequate; both were clean and nicely presented.
Dinner food/service both very good. Breakfast adequate. All in all we were both very pleased with our decision to stay here.

Nice Hotel, the only thing I could comment on in a negative manner, was the room was too small.

Great 1 night stay at The Old Mill. Check in was smooth greeted by one of the team in reception. Room was clean and comfortable. Pillows were a bit too firm but just my view. Food in restaurant was some of the best pub food I have had for a long time and good value. Restaurant was surprisingly busy for mid-week and good to see. Breakfast also was the same great quality. Will definitely be back!

This is our third time staying here, the room this time was a lot bigger, the rooms are clean and well stocked. We ate dinner in the restaurant and yet again the food was excellent.
If you are ever in the area, I would highly recommend this place to both stay and eat.
