beautiful grounds, lots of games, The mill is a modern building with a petite nice spa, very relaxing, Outstanding massages. We however were put into a room at the Old Swan, in itself a beautiful, characterful old pub. The room was sub standard for the price (270 for a superior double per night) cob webs everywhere, stains on carpet, tobacco debris in the drawers, a wardrobe that was in need of repair, display cushions that were worn, pilled and dated, above all the room was infested with dozens of mosquitos that kept us up all night. Staff were friendly, breakfast continental but tasty, food in the pub was good, some vegetarian choice which mattered to us. Not sure I would go back to be honest, and if so would insist to stay in the newer mill building

The first room we were given was joined to a faulty and extremely noisy water pump, which kept us awake every hour during the first night. We had a wedding to go to the next day and obviously wanted to look our best, not tired pale and wizzened. Thankfully, we were moved to another room far enough away, to not hear the pump. I'm not sure why we had not been given the second much nicer superior room from the start, as this was our first stay there. This hotel has beautiful grounds, and the accommodation on the 2nd and 3rd night was pleasant, clean and comfortable. We would return.

Disappointed that we were sent over to the pub after visiting the main building and looking forward to seeing our room. Room in old pub was quiet and had everything we needed although desktop fan was very dusty. Bed very comfy , shower very powerful. Pub very empty so no ambiance and the music was terrible so didn’t stay for long. Spa was perfect but missed out on the mud rasul room which wasn’t mentioned within the £50 we paid for 2. Staff all very accommodating although on checking out the lady was sat on her phone which wasn’t very professional. Made slight comment on welcome day about us eating out at The Farmers Dog which wasn’t needed. Over all would recommend as stunning location and pleasant stay just ask for room in main building.

Perfect quiet family getaway

We had an amazing stay at Minster Mill! The staff was incredibly helpful and accommodating and made our stay especially enjoyable. We visited with our three young sons and they loved exploring the grounds and playing outside. It was a beautiful property and very welcoming to our family.

The reception staff were not very informative or professional. The communal areas, corridors etc were tired and tun down, washing bags left outside for long periods of time etc. The spa was very relaxing but very expensive compared to other spas. Overall it was an ok stay but wouldn't I return, perhaps not as think I could get more value for money elsewhere in the area

The room was spotless. No bar in the hotel but so we went over to the old Swan. The electric kept tripping which sent plumes of smoke from the fire into the pub. We were glad we didn’t order food as I don’t think we would have got it with the kitchen electrics going down. Lovely setting and grounds. The staff were lovely.

The staff were lovely and very welcoming and the food was amazing. The bedding and towels were lovely and clean and the bed was very comfortable. The bathroom was tired and although an overhead shower was provided there was no shower curtain which made it impossible to take a normal shower. We felt the room was generally tired looking and not as clean as it could have been.
