Aditi
Overall, a good place to stay and relax. Food was great, rooms were clean, friendly staff and ample space for parking. The only issue was with the tap in the washrooms which had very little pressure, so it will take longer to get ready.
Patricia
Lovely setting in an old corn mill. The hotel is used extensively for weddings and we felt the room was somewhat tired. It also smelt strongly of cleaning products on entering. Staff were extremely friendly and helpful but there seemed to be a lot of confusion over the check-in and payments. We have hopefully only paid for the room once but were asked 3 times about payment. No problems at all with parking and we noticed there is a charging point for those with electric vehicles. Also dog-friendly in all areas.
Martin
Really enjoyed our one night stay
Penelope
Superb food and excellent and friendly staff. Good value
Mike
A fantastic rustic building set amongst some very picturesque settings with well kept grounds and straight off a main road close to the village of Chard. I was checked in by welcoming and friendly staff who showed me to my room. A nicely decorated room included hot chocolate which was a bonus (most accommodation only off tea and coffee). The bathroom was nice and clean although the shower could have done with better water pressure. I took an hour long walk along the nearby country lanes and took in some lovely scenic views. There were some dining options in and around Chard as well as the Hotel itself. The bed was really comfy and provided a full night's sleep which can be hard to attain when on the road. Breakfast was fantastic with both cooked and cold options and everything was cooked to perfection. I will be sure to look at staying here again given the opportunity.
Karl
Very plesent still. The set menu, two courses for £20 was superb. Quality ingredients, presention and the taste was top notch! I will definitely stay and eat there again.
Richard
Had a beer in the garden witch was lovely, and was nice to see the water wheel turning during dinner and its nice they stop it during the nite which was blissfully quite. The food we had while there dinner and breakfast was very nice.
Mike
Great location, friendly welcome, comfortable accommodation with good service. Highly recommended.
Laurence
Helpful staff, fab room, food great (when the chef's not at Peppa Pig world!), location cute, ambience relaxing. Would recommend (as long as chef's in residence!). A great find.
richard
Excellent accommodation with restaurant. Menu high quality and good value. We originally planned to eat on only one of the nights of our stay but couldn’t resist a second sitting. Lucky with weather so we’re able to sit and have a drink by the pond. Cooked breakfast a bonus. Quiet setting just outside chard which was easy to find with ample parking
Margaret
Beautiful surroundings, excellent breakfast and Sunday evening cold platter, lovely peacock called George and friendly and helpful staff. Would definitely visit again if in area.

Lovely peaceful hotel with great staff
Marie
Lovely, clean and comfortable room. All the staff were very friendly. The food in the restaurant was excellent and reasonably priced.
Alan
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
Lawrence
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!
Jason
Fantastic staff and the food was excellent. Will definitely stay again.
Lee
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.

Good atmosphere, friendly staff.
Lesley
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.

KIM
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

We had dinner in the small and characterful restaurant and enjoyed the atmosphere and the food.
Breakfast was plentiful and cooked to order.

Quirky
Quirky building due to its age and being a former water mill. In lovely grounds with peacocks wandering around. Had a lovely stay, however, the bedroom walls are thin so you can hear what the people in the rooms next door are doing. And if they switch on the watermill, you can hear and feel it running in the room. It was turned off in the evening. Staff were lovely and helpful. Restaurant portions were big.
michael
A easy stay and Roberta (member of staff) made it all very easy

Tranquil spot
Needed a hotel where I could leave a trailer. Extremely helpful when I phoned and equally helpful in sorting out afternoon tea even though their kitchen was shut. One of the best meals I have had at the restaurant especially when considering the price. Good breakfast choice. Grounds beautiful and resident peacock and peahen. Tranquil. Bed comfortable just needed to be a little careful of low ish beam in room.
