Hotel terrible
The restaurant,food was lovely but the actual hotel was terrible. You had loads of stairs to get to our room. We went for one of their better rooms well if thats their good rooms I'd hate to see there cheap rooms. The room was dirty a lick of paint would go a miss. Coffee marks on the wall. It was very noisy.

The Mill. Very disappointed.
Very disappointing. Arrived Saturday lunchtime, front desk was pleasant. Went to the bar and ordered lunch, soup and a sandwich. It took an hour and 20 minutes. Our table was full of the previous couples leftover plates and drinks. I cleaned it after waiting an hour. Dinner was ok n the evening. Breakfast was a farce. On arrival at 9am there was barely anything available, no plates or cups. Another guest asked for bread for the toaster. When it came out it had mould on it! We ended up not having anything and checked out. I’d paid up front unfortunately, so if you do stay here choose to pay at the end of your stay. I’ve been given the operation managers email as no one could help us with a refund for breakfast!

Situated in a picturesque spot in central Sudbury, The Mill is an attractive and welcoming building and our party was mostly satisfied with our stay. 3 in one room meant we had to use (and expected to) the pull out bed which turned out to be very uncomfortable and not the cleanest. I got the short straw and preferred to sleep with the cushions on the floor. Otherwise room was fine. Breakfast busy but also satisfactory if not sensational.
The facilities at The Mill are looking just a tad tired and Im sure it wont be long before its owners will need to update / refresh aspects of the place.
Staff friendly and polite. Lots of steep stairs!! (To our part of the hotel in any case)
