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.

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.
