positive comments Location was nice and the Hotel had a nice feel to the place. Service was very good, the food especially the breakfast was excellent.
negative comments Room was to hot, but considering the outside temperature probably unavoidable considering the age.

We booked online and printed out the confirmation. A few hours later you rang us to say you only actually had a compromise room as all of the twin bedded rooms were booked. In fact, the accommodation was absolutely fine but it did leave us wondering if we should have cancelled and gone elsewhere. A computer problem, I guess! For us, car parking was a condition as my wife has a hip problem and finds walking difficult. Your information did not really make it clear that you have ample parking facilities and because of this I specified at the time of booking that it was conditional on parking. I need not have bothered. The point is, one spends time weighing the pros & cons before taking a final decision, so what one looks for is simple, clear and truthful information. We enjoyed our stay and would come again. (97649568)

positive comments Quiet. Dark after lights out. Plenty of space.
negative comments It was adjacent to the main hotel. As the weather was very lovely this was probably a bonus. Had it been wet it might have been different.

Overall the hotel was lovely and the staff went out of their way to be helpful and friendly. I was concerned about having to go out into a seperate building to my room which gave me worries about security as I was on my own. A lovely atmosphere. (97260192)

positive comments The setting, the building,the staff,the quiet.
negative comments The mirrored wardrobe doors, very off putting. Having to go outside to get into the other building

I thought the idea of the smokery was excellent and it was well covered in order to keep from rain and fairly comfortable. I loved the quirky look and feel of the hotel which gave it alot of character. The close locality to the village was excellent and gave a choice to go for a wonder and not have to drive. I really enjoyed my stay and would recommend it to anyone. (97778970)

positive comments I liked the accommodation facilities, they were very adequate for our needs. They were cleaned to good standard considering the age of the building.

positive comments The upgrade room in the anexe was spacious with a lovely outlook and very quiet.
negative comments We were disappointed that an upgraded room did not have a bath but we discovered there was one immediately next door at the end of the landing so not a disaster.

The hotel was in a lovely location by the river. The rooms were spacious, we had a superior double room which looked out onto the river.The food in the bistro was excellent with a varied menu and the staff were friendly and helpful. There were even performing ducks in the river which were very entertaining. Would definately stay again and have no hesitation in recommending this hotel. (99869038)

The hotel was nicely situated for our needs - and the room was large and had a nice view over the river and waterfall. We did not think that the reception staff were overly helpful - when checking out he was on the telephone and no one offered help with our bags when we arrived. The breakfast was delicious and staff very helpful. On the whole we thought it was slightly expensive for what it was. (99497494)

positive comments Very nice location and large room and nice bathroom.
negative comments We thought the bed was too hard, and not enough shelf space around the basin in the bathroom to put one's toiletries. No face cloths provided.

Richard from CROYDON, GB (Mature couple) 12 April 2007

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The owners have done a terrific job of refitting the old mill while retaining lots of its original character. Particular highspots for us were the terrace overlooking the mill race and the restaurant, with the two exposed mill wheels (if only they could get those moving !) We actually dined in the restaurant every night of our stay (something we very rarely do), as the food, service and friendlinesss of the staff were all exceptional. A great base to explore the Cotswolds and very good value for money. (99773411)

Thoroughly recommend. Lovely relaxing weekend, with all staff going out of their way to make it enjoyable. Would like to go back during the warmer weather to enjoy the outdoor waterside facilities (we stayed in February). Excellent choice of well-presented food, with nothing too much trouble for the restaurant staff - diet began when we got home! (99407925)

Steve from Culmstock, United Kingdom;GB (Mature couple) 09 December 2006

We would like to have had more information about the hotel location, we did not know it was on a fairly main road in a town! We were disturbed by a call from reception to advise that our shower seemed to be leaking through the ceiling in the room below and we were made to feel that this was something we had done wrong and this was clearly a problem with the installation or drainage of the shower tray!I would recommend this hotel on the basis of the location in the Cotswalds between Bath and Cheltenham and because of the great restaurant. (99421985)

positive comments Quiet location considering proximity of the main road, Warm room when first going in. Great restaurant staff, surroundings and fantastic food.

Bryan from london, United Kingdom;GB (Mature couple) 14 November 2006

The setting was magnificent. Nailsford turned out to be a much more attractive town than Stroud (which I thought was bit tacky and not worth the time we spent there. I am currently writing a book on the history of bread, so the sight of the innards of a flour mill was a particular bonus. Public space was good. Gardens were lovely. Staff helpful. (99814073)
