Couple looking for a cozy retreat

The area around the Old Mill is beautiful. the breathtaking ponds and streams create a perfect backdrop for relaxation. Dinner was good, the fire pit could've brought more warmth to the night, but at least they had blankets!

It wasn't exactly affordable though.

great stay with room for improvement

The open fire added warmth and charm to our dinner experience, making it feel special. The attention from the staff, particularly one waitress, turned an ordinary meal into a delightful experience.

The check-in process felt slightly disorganized.

The grounds feature quirky metal art installations that add a unique edge, though not everyone may appreciate their style. The deluxe double room I had was spacious, outfitted with modern bathroom fixtures that were still shiny and new.

Breakfast service started at 08:00 but took too long, making it difficult for business travelers needing to leave shortly after. While the restaurant had a solid breakfast buffet, my attempt at a cooked meal wasn't as quick-paced as I needed. the taxi situation in the area is a hassle. relying on limited local firms can be frustrating, and the lack of rideshare options feels like a missed opportunity for convenience.

had a lovely stay at the old mill. the welcome was super warm like, and amber was really nice. our room was great, very cozy n decorated lovely. also loved that they offered us different parking when the bridge was underwater. breakfast and dinner were both really nice!

but the access bridge being flooded was kinda annoying. and the check-out should've been a bit later.

Beautiful surroundings with stunning gardens. Service during busy times incredibly slow, took forever for drinks.

We enjoyed a serene stay by the mill stream, where my little one loved feeding the ducks. The beautiful outdoor seating area was perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring the New Forest, providing a calm atmosphere to recount our adventures together. It really felt like a family getaway!

In my wife’s opinion, they should have clearer activities for families with children. While the setting is nice, having more planned kid-friendly activities would enhance the stay for families.

The converted water mill was stunning, with beautiful gardens by the millstream and cozy bar areas to relax. Highlights included a Dyson air conditioner and a fantastic smart TV. Completely loved our dinner, particularly the expertly grilled tomahawk steak. it was a flavor bomb! Highly recommend tasting the elegant ambience in the gorgeous dining room.

Felt very lucky to have found it, no complaint.

A Memorable Family Getaway with Room for Improvement

We enjoyed a lovely stay in the spacious family suite, complete with a cozy ambiance that made us feel at home. our dinner was disrupted when our table was not available as promised. Make reservations well in advance to avoid disappointment!

The Old Mill provided a delightful stay with its beautifully renovated rooms, offering a cozy atmosphere ideal for relaxation. The staff was genuinely friendly and provided excellent recommendations for local dining and walks. The breakfast was particularly impressive, featuring freshly baked pastries and locally sourced ingredients that set a positive tone for the day.

Some service delays were noticeable.

easy access to parks and stunning nature reserves in lymington

During our lovely stay, we enjoyed breakfast in the conservatory, where we watched the birds visit the feeders beside the millstream, and the nearby Roydon Woods Nature Reserve provided us with peaceful walking trails filled with beautiful scenery.

Had a fantastic two-night stay! The food was divine, especially the seafood linguine, and the serene gardens provided a perfect escape. Our room was lovely and well equipped.

The room was fantastic, equipped with a dog bed and treats for our pet, highlighting the welcoming atmosphere. Breakfast stood out as one of the best I've had, made to order and served promptly. there was an unpleasant dog smell in room 9, which required attention, and the complementary wine offered due to that issue didn't fully compensate for the discomfort during our stay.

Stunning, stunning, stunning

I was absolutely blown away by the stunning gardens that surrounded our cozy King Room, complete with picturesque hidden spots and adorable sculptures that made our strolls feel like a fairytale. Dinner was a highlight, especially the creatively prepared scallops that tasted like pure heaven! The whole atmosphere was so inviting, making it the perfect spot for relaxation and indulgence.

strongly recommend 💖✨

I loved relaxing on the beautifully manicured lawns and enjoying the aromatherapy cosmetics in our King Room. it made our stay so special! The sun terrace was the perfect spot for unwinding after a long day. A minor downside was the limited dining options nearby, but I’d still recommend checking this place out! 😊
