Excellent overnight stop ideally situated in quiet location on route back from Cornwall to Surrey. The mill is an historic building so our room and layout reflects this. We had pleasant evening meal seated next to the working water wheel and full English breakfast the next morning. All staff were very friendly and helpful

Nice historic property, staffed by a lovely helpful team. We had a good night’s sleep and a scrumptious breakfast. If I’m being super critical, the room was bordering on being tired but still comfortable and clean. Thank you guys!

Absolutely fantastic. As we checked in late we had to call for the night porter. He was so helpful. Room was really good, clean, spacious. Bed was large and comfortable. Room quiet. Plenty of Tea/coffee. Breakfast was also excellent. Kirsty made sure we had everything we needed and more. Cannot fault this hotel at all. Lovely grounds to walk round. Just need to come back and stay longer.

The room was spotless and a lot of thought in the details. The staff could not have been more friendly and helpful. We were the only guests for dinner but didn't feel awkward as the staff including the chef were chatting with us. The place was full of character whilst giving attention to comfort. We absolutely loved it.

The Hornsbury Mill is a very charming hotel, set in beautiful grounds with a little lake. The staff are very friendly and attentive and the bed comfortable. I had the full English (vegan) breakfast and it was very tasty. The one complaint I had was that when the very charming old mill wheel is on and turning (which they switch off at 8pm), the noise made a constant thud in my room and bothered me a little. I assume it won’t be too much of a bother though to most people, who would be in bed well after 8pm, but on this particular occasion I was exhausted and needed to go to bed very early and get a good night’s rest. The other noise that bothered me was that my room # 6 was at the back of the hotel where the dumpsters are and where the staff seemed to hang out for a little while after their shift, which again disrupted my sleep. However, I did speak to someone (I assume the owner?) who was very apologetic and said he would address this. Overall I was very happy with the hotel and would recommend it.

From the moment we arrived we felt a sense of tranquility. The staff were welcoming and attentive. This place really is a hidden gem. Beautiful grounds with a lovely pond and ducks. Inside was just as appealing with a working waterwheel. We had a lovely meal and room was very comfortable. Will definitely stay again
