A lovely stay in an absolutely authentic hotel, surrounded by a beautiful landscape. We even participated in a mystery dinner - together with some local people - in the hotel‘s restaurant. If you need some advice on day trips or good places in the area, make sure you speak to the landlord.

10/10 Exceptional

We had a wonderful 2 night stay at the Hornsbury Mill. We had a friendly welcome and easy check in. Our room was comfortable and a good size and serviced upton request. We had dinner in the small and characterful restaurant and enjoyed the atmosphere and the food. Breakfast was plentiful and cooked to order. We found the Hornsbury Mill to be friendly and relaxed and enjoyed the surrounding areas. We would definitely stay again if we were in the area. Thank you

6/10 Good

hotel & gardens need a bit of TLC

Room could do with a spring clean Also the The feature of the hotel is its grounds birds mess on patio patio and around pond and also in the wooden gazebo pots with dead plants in genuinely needs a good tidy up shame really
The idea is a good but you wouldn’t want to sit in here with your wedding dress on
Ducks very pretty but I guess they haven’t
Cleaned or jet washed the patio for some time
 to get rid of the mess  real shame there is a wedding on later today and you wouldn’t want your white dress in all that mess
Yeah idea is good, but you really must keep it clean and tidy

Beautiful - you must stay here!

Amazing location. Tranquil, tucked away but a short hop to chard. Beautiful lake and large wooden gazebo for a chilled drink after dinner.

Quirky

Quirky building due to its age and being a former water mill. In lovely grounds with peacocks wandering around. Had a lovely stay, however, the bedroom walls are thin so you can hear what the people in the rooms next door are doing. And if they switch on the watermill, you can hear and feel it running in the room. It was turned off in the evening. Staff were lovely and helpful. Restaurant portions were big.

Tranquil spot

Needed a hotel where I could leave a trailer. Extremely helpful when I phoned and equally helpful in sorting out afternoon tea even though their kitchen was shut. One of the best meals I have had at the restaurant especially when considering the price. Good breakfast choice. Grounds beautiful and resident peacock and peahen. Tranquil. Bed comfortable just needed to be a little careful of low ish beam in room.

Quirky Hotel, nice stay, food could be better.

Good location. Food was variable. One dinner was great but the next day they had an event and the food was distinctly average (steak over cooked, pork tough...)
