Very pleasantly surprised and impressed with virtually every aspect of our stay at the Sawmill Inn. All of the staff were excellent' Our "dog friendly" room was perfect and suited our needs. Very clean, tidy and quiet. Food in the restaurant was superb, not just plain old "pub grub". Hat off to the Chef for his efforts. All in all we had a very enjoyable experience at the Sawmill, will happily return there and strongly recommend it.

Disliked: Staff & service
I could not contact The Sawmills (at 9:32pm) to say that I had arrived as their phone contact number was turned off. I tried unsuccessfully for half an hour. This resulted in a wasted overall journey time of over four hours plus the cost of fuel. Very frustrating and disappointing.

Liked: Amenities
Lovely room apart from the constant noise from what may have been a boiler or extractor. We stayed 2 nights and the complimentary breakfast of fruit & croissants could not be faulted. Tea/coffee and even 2 hot chocolate drinks were useful but only 4 cartons of milk meant drinks were rationed. Unfortunately we left each day before the Inn opened and arrived back after closing so did not see any staff to request more. It would have been useful to be told that staff would not visit our room during our stay to replenish used items.
