    Totally recommend for a hurried visit

    Comfortable room, modern bathroom, with a lovely shower that my wife rated as the best she's experienced in a hotel, complemented by friendly staff and delicious meals in the restaurant.

    Nothing, everything was great.

    cozy atmosphere
    welcoming staff
    interesting design
    poorly cooked meals

    Had an amazing getaway with friends, dancing the night away with disco lights and enjoying great company. The staff were welcoming, and overall, we appreciated the cozy atmosphere and interesting design of the building. Perfect for a group trip with facilities that meet all our needs.

    One downside was that some of the evening meals weren't cooked well after a long day of adventures.

    delicious breakfast
    inviting gardens
    uncomfortable bed

    We had a lovely stay, and the omelette I had for breakfast was absolutely delicious! The gardens were so inviting, with plenty of spots to kick back and relax. The only downside was that the bed wasn't the comfiest, but it didn't ruin our time at all. 😊

    delectable food

    Charming, charming, charming.

    I was utterly enchanted by the picturesque grounds filled with vibrant peacocks and a serene pond. The food? Absolutely delectable, especially the award-winning marmalade that had me coming back for more! Each moment felt special, with the stunning historical details of the old mill seamlessly blending with modern comforts.

    Can recommend! ❤️😊

    delicious food
    friendly staff
    beautiful grounds
    uncomfortable mattress
    no proper shower

    the food here was so yummy and really well prepared. the grounds are super pretty with a nice lil pond to walk around. the staff were all really friendly and helpful, especially the chef who made some delish dishes. it was cool to see the old mill stuff through glass too, just felt really special. overall it was a comfy, relaxing stay.

    the mattress was kinda hard and could use a topper. also, my room didn't have a proper shower, just a hose which was a bit annoying.

    Fantastic stay, loved it!

    My partner and I enjoyed a relaxing couple of nights here. The decor was super charming, and the food was top-notch—especially the dinners! The staff were really friendly and even returned my jewelry that I left behind. Only wish the parking was a bit easier, but that didn’t ruin our trip at all!

    comfortable suite but limited dining options

    The suite was spacious and offered a stunning view of the unique waterwheel. The staff were exceptionally attentive, ensuring our stay was enjoyable without being intrusive.

    The limited dining options could be improved.

    beautiful grounds
    delicious breakfast
    friendly staff
    weak shower
    delayed meals
    firm mattress

    I loved the beautiful grounds at Hornsbury Mill, especially the lake and peacocks wandering around. The staff stood out for their friendly and helpful attitude, making us feel at home right away. I enjoyed a delicious breakfast filled with fresh fruit and a nice variety of cooked options, including amazing pancakes. the shower in my room had weak water flow, which was a letdown. the restaurant faced some issues with meal timing. we waited quite a while for our food during dinner. My mattress felt a bit firm, which affected my comfort at night. Despite these minor drawbacks, the experience was still pleasant overall.
