Hornsbury Mill

The place is beautiful ! The staff are so friendly and helpful . Paul the manager goes out of his way to help. Restaurant food is lovely, big portions. We had room 7 which is the biggest it has a working mill in the room. Very clean and comfy bed. Small bar with a lovely area with couch’s to relax and have a drink

Came here as a treat for a special birthday. I had said this was the case but they obviously didn't care about that! Ordered our drinks for 7 and given the tiniest milk jug, had to ask to be refilled & then for a bigger jug! Tea a huge disappointment, nothing like described or pictures seen. Barely enough for amount of people. 3 types of sandwich (2 for vegan guest) on basic sliced bread. Beef (so dry sandwich couldn't stay together), egg (no cress or anything) and smoked salmon & cream cheese (even though I had spoken & emailed them that one of party couldn't have cheese). 1 each of bite size sausage roll (Tesco's?). Cakes exceedingly poor. Nothing homemade about them. Between 6 we had - 4 fairy cakes, 4 finger slices of lemon drizzle (more drizzle than lemon), 4 small scones cut in half, and 4 very small croissant ends (not sure what happened to the middle?!?). Had to go & find someone to ask for butter, jam & cream for scones. It came on two big plates (red jam looked like someone had dished up some liver). Our vegan guest got a couple of 'chocolate' rice crispy squares. Also had 7 small mince pies with the comment 'the vegan can eat one of them'. So all in all a terrible experience. I should have been warned when they wouldn't email confirmations (chap did say why did I need one when he'd just told me it was okay). Also had to pay full amount 3 days before - they said as they bought in ingredients especially - not for anything we had - local supermarket would have had it in their budget range! So my advice DON'T go, for any reason but especially not for a special treat!!

The most friendliest and welcoming of hosts. The biggest and best breakfast you will ever receive. Well cooked and varied evening menu. The owners and hosts do everything possible to make you welcome. Unpretentious venue. Comfortable accommodation.

We stayed for a week just the two of us. Very nice ground floor room with a wet room which was great . Very atmospheric and the staff were really welcoming. The food was very good and of a high standard, for breakfast and evening meal. The lounge and bar were both very comfortable. The bar sold premium lager, pale ale and Inch’s cider, all on draft. The water wheel works and is impressive. It also had a decent wine list.The setting of the hotel could not be any better.The lake was stunning and the gazebo was picturesque. The whole place was ideal for any occasion or just a holiday venue.

Attended a close family wedding yesterday at Hornsbury Mill and wanted to leave a review to say how fantastic the venue was. A very relaxed setting, an excellent wedding breakfast and great ambience. Special mention to the staff Zoe and Emma who were fabulous throughout the event. Their obvious pride and pleasure in the job they do shone through.

We booked an afternoon tea for a family birthday. The food was plentiful and delicious and the staff were friendly and attentive. We had lovely weather and ate outside which showed the lake at its best. Fab afternoon, which was enjoyed by all. Thank you.
