Provider-sourced guest reviews.
Super friendly staff, good food . The room was perfect. Gorgeous setting The staff and manager could not of been more helpful with our special dietary needs
When checking in for accommodation we did not know where to go and see,eventually asked a rushed waitress ( it was a busy Sunday) and she was very helpful. But a bit of guidance would have helped, maybe in a email prior to arrival. Minor issue
Absolutely loved the Old Mill, such a beautiful location, building and rooms. We will definitely be back. Staff fantastic too. Couldn’t find fault with anything (not that I would!)
Nothing whatsoever
Fabulous friendly staff very welcoming. Comfortable and lovely location.
Saying goodbye wanted to stay longer
The staff were good the breakfast was good the room was OK didn't like the stairs I know the location so that was ok
Everything was good except the Mosquitos kept us awake trying to kill them, they know it's a problem but have done nothing to fix it, no plug ins no fly screen a complete lack of effort to control the problem
Great location and perfect for dogs.
Lots of mosquitoes and no insects screens on the windows.
It was a nice room with a very comfy bed. Great, picturesque location next to a river, delicious food, breakfast was ace. Staff were very attentive.
All good.
The location was ideal for our visit - and also the old mill in general is very nice. The "park" of the hotel is very nice and the attached pub makes diner plans easy... (if you like English food)
We had a Family room (Room 5) and it was nearly impossible for my children to sleep in the separate sleeping room. The wall to Room 6 was maximum a paper wall - you were able to hear every single word the neighbors were talking about. unfortunately our neighbours were not just talking - but they had in both nights we stayed there a party or something similar going on. I am not sensitive to noise when I sleep - but that was even too much for me. Unfortunately also knocking the wall to signalize that it is too noisy and the kids can't sleep didnt change anything - Of course the hotel can not be held responsible for their guests - but the noise transfer from the neighbor room to us was really the worst I ever experienced. Also the floor is super noisy when walking around - but thats OK - its not a new modern hotel...
Breakfast was good
Outside areas could do with some TKC
Lovely quiet spot. Excellent food.
Room a little cramped and everywhere upstairs smelt of cooking.
Great location, lovely pub with fantastic gardens
large portions willing to give extra butter, toast etc keen, cheerful staff open to suggestions
limited menu - no savory options tables for 2 rather cramped in conservatory
This is a characterful pub or inn in extensive grounds - the outside areas of the pub are surrounded by trees. The pub is well appointed and the staff are attentive. Inside there are various seating areas although the heatwave meant that the very pleasant outdoor areas were very welcome. Having said that, in the cooler evening it was good to eat in the long conservatory which overlooks the mill stream. The grounds are lovely and worth a little exploration. Our room was well furnished, complete with a Dyson fan and Roberts radio. We had a good night's sleep with the windows wide open although we were warned that we might be troubled by insects from the stream below. We were not troubled. Dinner was very good, breakfast good without being exceptional.
I asked for real ale at the bar but was told that they currently did not serve this. Apparently they struggle to keep it in good condition in the very hot weather. Hopefully it will return as autumn and winter approach.
Good size room, lovely gardens, plentiful parking, very nice staff, tasty food.
Infested with mosquitos and very hot room
Dog friendly
To warn in top level bedroom
Very welcoming owner. Attentive and friendly staff. Super comfy bed.
Beautiful gardens in a lovely setting .
Stairs going up to the room - breakfast on first day was a bit manic - 1 man serving all the tables - quite a wait - probably needed another pair of hands .
Everything
A lovely location, with the Old Mill having been developed into a beautiful and stylish hotel, bar and restaurant. The room (in a house to the right of the Old Mill) was well designed, stylish and incredibly comfortable (gorgeous bed linen). The breakfast was very nice too!
It was a lovely place but was more expensive than similar places we’ve stayed in the New Forest.
Prachtige en romantische locatie en tuinen
Lovely location, staff were super friendly, good food options and comfortable beds!
Water pressure was rubbish, and the toilet was broken
The room was nicely decorated with great amenities including a Dyson fan!! Really great shower too! The pub/ hotel is situated on the river with pretty gardens.
The pub plays music from 8am through to 10pm and we could hear the base from the room. Also we came down for breakfast at 9.30am and they had run out of some items.
Great food
Beautiful place and beautiful setting. The staff were incredible and so helpful.
It was hot in room (it did cool down about 11pm) but we are in midst of unprecedented heatwave so not sure you can cast any blame
The staff were amazing and the breakfast was excellent. The gardens were beautiful and the river.( Also loved seeing the ducks, dragonflies, butterflies and other birds).
The room was next to a car park and you could hear people walking to their cars ,shutting car doors and driving off (particularly between 10pm to about 11:30 pm). It was also close to the road.
The beautiful grounds and dining area was very good. The staff were efficient, helpful and friendly and the food was good
Our room was fine but looked out onto a flat roof above the kitchen. One of the window locks looked as though it had been forced. Lovely shower room but the step up into from the bedroom projected a sharp edge and could cause a potential injury.
Lovely room. Lovely grounds. Easy parking
N/A
Yes, the food was not great. They need to improve food quality. Such a lovely location. Though you can only really walk around grounds.
Grounds and plants river and pond
Lovely gardens ,rustic but interesting. Our room very good and serviced well.
This was a really lovely old converted Mill & the facilities were spot on! The grounds weee absolutely beautiful & we just wanted to sit outside our whole stay. The staff were really friendly & helpful. We had a suite & it was amazing. We definitely want to go back & we don’t say that very often!!
Nothing to dislike!
Beautiful secluded location with a wonderful pub, & stunning gardens. Our room was very comfortable. Food was very good & the staff were excellent
Nothing
The gardens were very pleasant. Rooms were comfortable.
Attention to some details. Milk in the room was off, no toilet paper on arrival, window handle broken and toilet not functioning well. However, the room was nicely decorated and comfortable.
Friendly staff, beautiful room and location. Very clean.
Slightly over priced.
Friendly staff who were happy to help, wonderful setting over the river with stunning grounds. Lovely and quiet location. The room had everything we could need and parking was great.
Outside dining, good serving staff.
Very poor ventilation, window opening unnecessarily restricted. There is no legal requirement and it is obvious to anyone that there is no risk of anyone falling out of the window and certainly no greater risk than a uk house built to building regulations. Utterly stifling in the heat and completely unnecessary, the lack of ventilation and heat would be i contravention the Workplace Regulations act 1992. There are lots of Hotels in the UK with balconies, Health and Safety gone mad.
Excellent ocation, lovely room, good food, helpful staff
Nothing
Location suited my needs for my holiday. Great atmosphere, surroundings and delicious food cooked in extreme temperatures. Very helpful and welcoming staff.
Location and old style property near a stream - parking excellent
Our room was very hot and no air conditioning - we had our windows open but unfortunately mosquitos from the water were in the room
Clean well appointed rooms, lovely staff, great location, very dog friendly. We will definitely be visiting again.
Stunning scenery surround this idyllic hotel where the food and service are of a very high standard.
Very comfortable spacious rooms.
Very picturesque and particularly enjoyed shower
Was way too hot even with fan
Location and staff, breakfast was very nice
Our bedroom was next door, a building that lack all the charm that was in the website photos
Very nice
Nothing
Our Room was spacious, clean and comfortable overlooking the river. Pretty gardens to walk around, a beautiful location. Food in the restaurant was excellent and all staff members polite and helpful.
Couldn't fault it!
Everything was superb, the staff, room, bar, food, drink and garden
Didn't like the fact that we couldn't stay longer
Location was great
Room was hot
Lovely setting, food and drink. Comfy bed.
Pub in need of a deep clean, gardens need care. Pond and fish need TLC.
Omgivelsene uteområdet Veldig god frokost
Menyen og maten til middagen. Kanskje kokken må byttes ut?
Everything! Friendly welcome, lovely “classy” room playing classic music on the Robert’s radio - excellent and so relaxing. Food in the restaurant was great.
That I could not stay longer!
Beautiful location, great sized room and pub food was great
Room was very clean but we felt small for the money. Staff were lovely, friendly & helpful. Very dog friendly. Lovely gardens.
Size of room not worth the cost.
General location was well placed and convenient for reaching the many sites of interest and beauty in the area. The immediate environment around the grounds are superb. Fabulous gardens, skillfully planted around the mill stream. All of the food and service was excellent.
The road noise during rush hour times was unpleasant and impacted on our room. We needed the windows open as we were experiencing high, heat wave temperatures at the time, but the safety features on the windows made it difficult to gain adequate cooling air.
Lovely position and excellent facilities. Very comfortable and well appointed room. All the staff were friendly and helpful.
Nothing!
Very nice place with a superb terrace along a river. The restaurant is great.

Na
Lovely location. Great staff.
Didn’t realise there would be dogs staying in the next room although staff responded quickly to move rooms.
The staff were so very much helpful and accommodating. The restaurant became very much our favorite for dinner. Food was amazing , including the best sunday roast I think I have ever had. Will be returning for sure.
Everything. The food, the room, the people, the little river that runs through it. Everything is amazing
Nothing
Everything! What a great find. And what made it extra special was just how dog friendly it was.
Nothing, we will be back.
Excellent in all respects. The gardens were superb (best pub gardens we have seen). Building was lovely, staff helpful, food good.
We didn't like the dogs being allowed in the dining room but we accept this is a place which welcomes dogs. The bar was expensive.
Large TV
Having to pay for Nertflix etc. At other hotels I could use it by logging in. No instant coffee in room or instructions how to use the coffee machine.
Lovely location and the room was beautiful Really good food in the restaurant as well!
Comfortable room with lovely view over the mill. Beautiful gardens. Comfortable bed
Bathroom very small. Breakfast was poor and expensive for what it was.
Beautiful location. Fabulous staff and great food. Perfect
NA
Such a stunning location in the middle of the New Forest! The gardens and river are gorgeous, much more than any other pub has to offer, even at the start of April the gardens are stunning with ducks in the river and water trickling down to the old mill. The service, food and drinks were 10 out of 10. As a local to the New Forest myself for 50 years, I have found a place half an hour drive away that I feel like I want to spend a weeks holiday at! I can’t wait to come back again!
Im trying to pick holes in something but I can’t, the Old Mill is totally brilliant!
Beautiful decor, beautiful surroundings, comfy bed, friendly staff and delicious biscuits!
While the bathroom was beautifully done, it only had a bath / overhead shower option - not great if you don't want to get your hair wet :)
Breakfast good.
No smoked salmon available for breakfast
Great place by a little river in the woods, yet close to every surrounding town. Beds are very comfy. Staff was welcoming and friendly. Definitely will stay again
Was little chilly at night and radiator wasn’t working so had to use a throw on duvet. Other then that, all good
Beautiful location, shame about the time of year I chose to see my friends.
Lovely friendly staff, clean and gorgeous bedrooms with everything you need. I wouldn't fault it and would most definitely stay again if in the area.
Food (and staff) to a very high standard
Excellent location and beautiful gardens.
Comfy bed, great shower. Lovely area, will definitely return!
Beautiful setting, welcoming staff, very dog friendly. Overall, most charming!
Nothing
Spotlessly clean and staff were all friendly & polite. Breakfast was delicious.
I thought it was a lovely place to stay
It was all lovely
The room was lovely. We had a tasty lunch when we arrived. Breakfast was very good The staff were very helpful
The Dinner: We decided to take the deal of Sunday Roast and a bottle of wine for £50 The meal seemed to be a reheated version of the midday roast with lots of thick and tasteless gravy. We thought we had simply been served the lunchtime leftovers & that was the reason for the 'deal'. When I mentioned our disappointment with dinner we were given a sincere apology and our bill was reduced.
Very pretty location. Beautiful gardens, friendly staff. We only stayed for one night but will certainly return.
Great little hotel, perfect location for my business trip. Dinner was great, I had a simple quick breakfast which was served quickly by very helpful and friendly staff. In the morning the river next to the hotel had flooded the garden, path to the car park and the road. The chef very kindly drove me round to the car park to get to my car. I would definitely stay here again.
The location was amazing, couldn’t ask for better and the actual pub was so beautiful and cosy. The room was spotless and things were refreshed daily. We had dinner on our first night and it was fantastic. Will definitely be returning when visiting the New Forest.
Amazing and staff couldn’t do enough for you. Food was great
Lovely location, very comfortable room and good shower. Staff very helpful and accommodating.
Whole experience including meals was very positive and enjoyable.
The hotel is in a great location, and the parking area is spacious and convenient. The room was large, comfortable, and very quiet. Breakfast was delicious, and all the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. My little dog was a bit too excited during our stay and may have disturbed other guests, for which I sincerely apologize. Thankfully, the hotel is pet-friendly, and I was able to take him for walks nearby to help him burn off some energy. Overall, it was a wonderful experience. I originally planned to stay for just one night but ended up extending my stay for two more nights. It was truly a fantastic stay, and I will definitely come back again!
