Another good quiet night stay
Pros:

arrived a little latter than expected, they gave us a call to see, where we were which i thought was really nice.
room was, nice and quiet, (but we preferred the room we stayed in last year, it. the quiet room was a little smaller, and we like to just spread out, and chill, so will be requesting the room previously) breakfast was as good as last year. The mill forge just has that welcome feeling you know it is going to be clean and comfortable which it was. will definitely stay again we have found our stop over on our trips up north. which is great knowing we won't be disappointed.

Cons:

I know they hold breakfast upstairs, and we were offered a table downstairs, as i don't do stairs well, but on arrival, it did not look welcoming, everybody had gone up stairs even though the other couple had requested downstairs, we felt out of place being the only ones so we went up, why can they not just have breakfast for everyone downstairs? not enough to put us of from staying again.

Historical preserved amazing facilities.
Pros:

The two women who checked us in were outgoing and so joyful. The bar and food staff were equally well suited in making us feel welcome.

Cons:

The fact we were only there for one day!
