The Old Mill Inn

I have passed the inn many times over the years and always wanted to stay . The photos online , pub with log burning fire , fantastic food . When I arrived no one on site pub lights on . Easy access to room which was lovely, read through the extensive and appetising menu , went down to find pub lights on but all locked up . Called the number to be told that they open at weekends. It was now after 7 , had to jump in the car and drive to nearby town , lots of fast food places an Indian Chinese restaurant. As a woman on her own I was looking forward to going down for dinner then back to my room . Came back again didn’t see a soul dark but pub lit up thank goodness. Not the stay I expected.

Room was clean, and nicely decorated in an old fashioned style with quirky art. Bed was clean and fresh if a bit soft. Dinner in the bar was quite nice, but service hours are vety short. We arrived 6pm as dinner was starting. We went out to an event, but the bar and restaurant was shut, and the building was all locked up when we arrived back just after 9.30pm. There were no staff.to check out with, and no breakfast offered.

During my 4 day stay the room was not cleaned or checked, rubbish not taken away, towels not replaced. There was also no provision for breakfast as an option. Room tea and coffee were not replenished.

Staff very friendly.

The room was clean and tidy. I do have to say though, wallpaper under the window is falling off and also in the bathroom on the ceiling above the toilet. The heated towel rail arm was also loose. Room also seemed a little small, not exactly expected for what was supposed to be a superior double room.
