Good food, nice staff - very poor TV and WiFi
For a Monday night business stay the bar was nice and busy offering a good selection of well priced pub grub with friendly staff who were nice but not experienced servers. Breakfast was also good and included.
Room was small, few electric points, no WiFi in room, poor TV reception (No BBC) only a few channels and intermittent signal loss. Overall poor for a hotel in today’s world. Clean and tidy, good bathroom and comfy enough.

Easy checkin. Excellent position. Room was clean with soft bed and great bathroom. 2 flights of stairs to get to room but they are easy to negotiate. Nice and quiet and is based above a well known restaurant with excellent food and service. Great stay and value for money.

We had a lovely overnight stay at the Old Mill. The restaurant food was delicious and the staff very pleasant .However the radiator in our room leaked badly so the carpet was soaked. This was obviously a known fault as there was a beaker propped against the radiator pipe .There was also only 2 sockets in the room. I had to unplug the lamp to use the hairdryer and charge my phone in socket on floor by the door.

Amazing value for money
Amazing value for money in an old inn that has been upgraded sympathetically.
Service was great and friendly and the pub style food was excellent.
Highly recommended.
