Tired room, good service and breakfast
We stayed one night, it was a funny mix of a place. The bedding was lovely and clean, bed very comfy. Breakfast was very good. But the room was very tired, dirty ornaments and decorations, grey towels, broken loo roll holder and towel rail, dangerously sharp cracked tiles in bathroom that moved when you stood on them.Filthy bathmat (see pic) and bedroom rug.I dont like to diss anyones business, but having seen so many good reviews, I feel the other side of the story should be shown as well

Great rustic pub and accommodation
Great place to stay if you are looking for a quiet English country pub in a small hamlet near Comsett.

Coast to Coast stop off
Lovely setting and lovely staff. The food was very good and Pauline, the owner was very friendly and helpful - as were all of the staff. Quirky touches throughout, including our bedroom.

A firm favorite
Love this hotel, really hidden away but clearly a favorite with locals for food and drink. Excellent country style rooms with good bathroom. Fantastic home cooked breakfast.

Stayed at the old mill for 2 night as attending a wedding in the area. Accommodation was lovely, rooms kept in the style off he old mill. Only things missing in the room was a full length mirror and the light was poor. The proprietor was helpful and accommodating.

An enjoyable stay in an historic building with a lovely setting. There were some idiosyncrasies but they were more than offset by the welcome and attention of our host. We would stay there again Martin

Peaceful beautiful setting.
The lady in charge was very helpful and the room was comfortable. The breakfast you ordered the night before and said what time you would like it for. It was plated up and ready for you to start straight away. Replenished the tea and coffee at the table and also in the room. Any problems were dealt with once they had been made aware. All the old equipment around the restaurant and pub area was lovely to see making it very quaint.

Lovely B&B with plenty of character. Food and service was good. Bathroom was starting to look like it needed a little makeover but was perfectly okay. Good value.

Fab breakfast at The Old Mill.
This was a very late booking but Pauline and the team prepared the room with very short notice. Pauline also cooked us a delicious breakfast. We will definitely come back when visiting family in the area again.

The bathroom was dirty with mouldy grout, a cracked window, cracks in a lot of appliances, an unclean toilet and cobwebs throughout.I love spiders but I didn’t expect to see so many in a ‘freshly cleaned’ bathroom.The room itself was a mismatch of furniture, not shabby chic but just odd pieces. I was given a ground floor room with a window that opened fully with no safety catches and a second internal door which couldn’t be secured and opened from the outside! All furniture was in poor repair with cracks, splinters and botched repairs. I ended up sleeping in my own sleeping bag. There was a constant loud dripping noise all night, esp loud beside the bed. It came from outside the room. At morning I went to return the key asap. Yes breakfast was included but if the cleanliness of the dining room was on a par with that of the room it wasn’t worth the risk. I did mention to the manageress the loud drip but was told that maybe I was a light sleeper and there was nothing they could do about it. I’m not a light sleeper. I have photos of everything mentioned. If I’d checked in with more time I would have brought up these issues there and then. Reception was closed when I returned and if there was an out of hours number I missed it. Not at all worth the money charged. Never again.
