A little gem. We had a lovely room overlooking the river. Beautifully decorated, nice furnishings, comfortable bad and bedding. It's a small inn with 11 rooms so no lifts and no miles of corridors (perfect for me). We had a very good dinner in the restaurant so there was no need to walk back into the city centre. Breakfast was very good, the hot food was served so freshly cooked rather than buffet. All staff were friendly and helpful. The free, convenient parking was a bonus.

4/10 Poor

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
This hotel lacks Management, Supervision and Staff training. We had reserved 2 rooms and the air conditioning was not working in either. The staff were unable to rectify the air conditioning even in 30degrees of heat. The windows were screwed shut so we were unable to open them to at least get fresh air. The bar had no tomato juice or zero tonic water. At breakfast time we were advised there was no marmalade! Dinner was very average. All in all a unsatisfactory stay

Breakfast menu not very clear or priced showing juice/ tea coffee were extra but food itself was good. Continental breakfast poor if later than 9am.. maybe very hungry clients ate most of it early. Situation on river with gardens excellent. Overall a pleasant place to stay.

Mill on the Exe is a lovely pub and hotel … very quaint but lovely rooms. The only problem was that the bed was surprisingly small in length…. It was wide enough as a King Bed should be…. But not long enough.

The staff were very helpful and pleasant throughout our stay. The room was spacious and had a fan so we were able to cool the room down on a very hot day and evening. It was very pleasant eating our Pub supper in the garden overlooking the weir. Breakfast was cooked to order and of a good standard.
