lovely breakfastgrubby carpetdaily tidy
breakfast was served in the mill itself, and it was lovely.
the staircase carpet was quite grubby. paintwork and the bathroom could do with some freshening up. there was no daily room tidy so the bin was overflowing after a few nights.

adequate stay, but some issues

convenient locationcold roominconvenient kettle
the location proved convenient.
the room felt quite cold. i found it impossible to fill the kettle from the washbasin because the kettle was too big. emptying the washbasin after shaving also posed a problem as there were no controls.
