The Mill House is often described as a lovely and quaint venue, boasting a beautiful garden to the rear. Many guests highlight the spacious and comfortable rooms. It's a phenomenal venue for weddings or events, and the picturesque grounds are well-maintained.

Acceptable Stay With Minor Issues

cold radiatornoisy floorboards
My room presented a couple of problems. The bathroom lacked sufficient heating and the towel radiator remained cold. I mentioned this more than once, but no one addressed the issue . The floorboards also proved quite noisy. These things impacted my experience, though the staff handled a wedding well, I must say.

Fantastic Wedding Venue!!!

pretty hotelbeautiful groundsflawless day
We celebrated our wedding here and also booked rooms for both the night before and the night after. The staff were very nice. Kim and Mark, the owners, were great too ensure we had a flawless day. The hotel itself is pretty, and the grounds are so beautiful. We could not have asked for better service. It was AMAZING!!!
Our room never seemed to get warm, even after adjusting the radiator thermostat. The heating switched off later in the evening.
