Only stay if you are a VERY heavy sleeper! Because it’s extremely noisy ALL NIGHT LONG. Do NOT recommend unfortunately :
Pros:

The Mill On The Soar has been a part of my life for over 30 years. I’d go there regularly as a little girl when living in Cosby over 30 years ago. It used to absolutely wonderful. And hold a lot of beautiful memories. The service was ok, sad that you have to go up and order everything yourself at the bar but food was good non the less. The room was clean and ok for one night.

Cons:

DO NOT STAY IF YOU LIKE PEACE & QUIET!!! I will NOT ever stay over night ever again. As per MANY other reviews, the rooms are NOT equipped for comfort. And despite staff responses from long long ago saying they will address the issues, clearly they do not plan on ever doing anything to rectify the noise issues. And, unfortunately that’s counter productive on their part because you’re losing TONNES of customers! Pipe work/water heater LOUD ALL NIGHT LONG ALL HOURS every few minutes. Not just when in use! Traffic noise vibrates through the pillows. Wardrobe doors wouldn’t open at all, seemed quite dangerous actually (room 1) heating uncontrolled, sometimes too hot, sometimes too cold. WIFI VERY POOR.
Didn’t get to drop off to sleep until 5am! And even that was broken sleep! Missed breakfast because of this! Got about 3hrs in total and had a 6 hour drive the next day! Absolutely terrible! Would not recommend :( sorry to say. Fond memories slightly tarnished now. I hope they bother to take some pride one day because they’re losing potential regular custom and not taking complaints seriously. If it closes down one day, you’ll know why. Very sad :(

Expensive for what it is, dated and noisy
Pros:

Close to Stoney Cove so practical

Cons:

Radiators are terrible and limit safe. Bed quality was very poor. Bathroom is totally dated. Wardrobe rail was broken. One of the shed lamp needed replacing. Very noisy, I couldn't sleep at all. Breakfast was awful and had to wait 8am so late for it.

Not great at all
Pros:

Not a great deal the bed was ok and t he e heating worked the breakfast was ok but not as good value as say premium inn all you can eat breakfast

Cons:

The shower curtain was absolutely filthy and should’ve been thrown in the bin so much so that my wife would not use the shower. The toilet seat was loose and kept coming off. The wardrobe. Drawers were difficult to open and one had come away. The windows were filthy and did not close properly. The room obviously had never been checked for quite some time otherwise these things would’ve been picked up and sorted out.

Lovely room, good value, but spoiled by the noisy plumbing.
Pros:

Lovely room, Hungry Horse pub was fine for what it is.

Cons:

There's something wrong with the plumbing in the standalone accommodation block. The macerator(?) seems to be working constantly or cutting in/out through the night. Very noisy and guaranteed to wake guests up.
