The room was comfortable and clean. Everything was well thought out and every thing easy to use. The food was very nice and the service was good. On a negative note the floor above was very squeaky and woke us up at 5.30 in the morning when they started walking up and down!

The Old Mill is clean with a good restaurant. There is a large car park and nice bar area. Staff are friendly and very helpful. My father left some personal items and are mailing them free of charge back to him. I fully recommend it.

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.
