Reviews and Ratings

Feedback about The Old Mill from previous guests about their experience.
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Old Mill offers a truly special experience with its historic watermill setting and picturesque location near Salisbury, within walking distance of the city center. Guests often praise the delightful dining room with a stream running through it, as well as the fabulous breakfast and the alfresco meals by the river. The river view from some first-floor windows is also a highlight, though some guests have noted noise from other rooms due to the building's age. Many guests find it to be really good value for money, with extra touches like toiletries and biscuits adding to the appeal.

useless tap staff attitude
the location was nice, i spotted some wildlife outside the window.
the shower lacked hot water and staff didn't seem concerned. the mixer tap was useless. i've stayed in many hotels, and i will remember the staff's attitude and the shower problem.

The location was nice. It was close to the footpath through the fields.

charming stay with riverside charm

riverside charm friendly staff relaxing atmosphere
the location impressed me it was close to town via the water meadows. i found the staff to be very friendly . the beer garden and restaurant provided a relaxing atmosphere to enjoy the countryside so i had a good time.
the lack of readily available information in the room was inconvenient i had to search for basic details like the wi-fi code. breakfast service started later than scheduled. this caused a delay to my planned departure.
