Was Gäste sagen

Im The Old Mill loben die Gäste durchweg freundliches und hilfsbereites Personal, saubere und komfortable Zimmer sowie herzhafte Pub-Küche mit großzügigen Portionen, alles zu einem guten Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis, in einer günstigen Lage direkt an der A1(M) in der Nähe von Durham und Bishop Auckland.

Häufig genannte Nachteile sind steile, enge Treppen zu den Schlafzimmern sowie das Fehlen eines Aufzugs, was für einige Gäste eine Herausforderung darstellen kann. Die Zimmer sind im Allgemeinen komfortabel, variieren jedoch in der Größe. Einige Gäste berichten von kleinen Fernsehern, wenigen Steckdosen, kleinen Reparaturmängeln und Lärm von den oberen Etagen oder nahegelegenen Straßen. Das Restaurant kann sehr voll sein, und einige Gäste berichteten von langsamen Service oder gemischten Gerichten zu Stoßzeiten. Erwarten Sie einen freundlichen, preiswerten Gasthausaufenthalt mit gutem Essen und einigen Kompromissen hinsichtlich Zugang und Zimmergröße.

KI-Zusammenfassung aktueller Gästebewertungen

Ausstattung

Das hoteleigene Pub/Restaurant ist beliebt und es gibt einen großen Parkplatz, der jedoch bei starkem Restaurantbetrieb begrenzt sein kann. Die Schlafzimmer befinden sich in steilen, engen Treppenhäusern ohne Aufzug; Wi-Fi ist im Allgemeinen gut, kann aber in einigen Zimmern lückenhaft sein.

I booked 4 rooms, for a friends visit to see the Kynren, location was perfect, easy parking and just a short drive to Bishop Auckland. Staff and service was excellent, very friendly and helpful, we got access to our rooms much earlier than expected. Rooms large and comfortable, great shower plenty of hot water. Food was superb, great choice large portions, all in all just perfect. Just a point of note, the stairs to the second are a little steep and no lift, so maybe ask for first floor rooms if you struggle with stairs.

A comfortable, quiet yet conveniently situated hotel. Our king size bed was a little firm, but that's personal taste. Breakfasts were tasty and nicely cooked and served. We didn't eat dinner at the hotel. There's plenty of car parking, but it does get busy with diners' cars. The free wi-fi was fine. Out tv needed a new aerial cable, which was sorted immediately when we raised the issue. Staff were friendly and approachable. Sadly, as the twelve bedrooms are all up one or two flights of steep, quite narrow stairs, we won't be returning - but would recommend it to more mobile travellers.

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.

There were several family members who stayed her for a family reunion and it was perfect. Caitlin was a lovely lady who looked after us she was extremely kind and helpful nothing was too much trouble. The rest of the staff were just as nice and friendly. The meals were great and huge, it was a shame that we couldn't have stayed longer to try one of there roast dinners. The rooms were spotless and very well kept. If we needed extras for our rooms we only needed to ask. We would definitely stay here again and would recommended it, the only negative would be that the reception desk would have someone there, otherwise perfect

The hotel and pub looked lovely and it was a comfortable room, however I had a couple of issues with cleanliness in my room. There were small marks on the duvet cover, which may not have been fresh but still make it appear used. There was also a dead spider in the bed when I pulled the duvet cover back completely. I tried to speak to someone at reception but there was no one there when I went down in the evening, or when I checked out in the morning.

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.

It’s an ok stay. You have to enter through the shared pub’s entrance but the hotel desk is not labeled. We had to walk around to find someone to check us in. A bell of some sort might be wise? The decor is sorta shabby in the room and there are very few outlets. The TV is tiny. The cleaning staff was a definite bright spot. Give that woman a raise! She was sweet, warm and accommodating!

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.

Gorgeous hotel, so I’m gutted that the whole experience was let down by one staff in the morning on 18/02/25 Firstly, given no instruction on breakfast and how it’s served! Granted I know on my part I could have been proactive and seen cornflakes etc which was in a hidden away corner that wasn’t in my direct eye sight, so this wasn’t the problem for me so much, the general instruction was more a nice to have and to add to the customer experience. Where it doesn’t become a nice to have is when I asked ‘how does breakfast work?’, as I didn’t realise I had to order, I was sat for 10 mins or so where the lady had plenty opportunity to ask, but she didn’t, so I politely asked ‘excuse me’ and was met with attitude!!!! Where a simple question turned into a chore? The one positive I’ll give about the service is the chef did manage to get out my breakfast really quick, which was okay

Love the location,we only stayed for one night,unfortunately it was one of the busiest Saturday nights they had for a while..The let down was having to wait for ages for our evening meal and when it finally arrived they brought it before our starters.When it finally came after our starters it was a right plateful and really enjoyable apart from the hard crust on the pies.Despite this we would love to visit again.
