Comfortable rooms. Good access to city and river.
Parking a little tricky.
Lovely position on the river , comfy rooms , brilliant staff, we had an issue which was resolved straight away
It was clean and very comfortable.
The size of the rooms and the facilities within the room
Prachtig gelegen aan het water, makkelijk stad in te lopen, auto bij accommodatie parkeren
Location was amazing
We stayed here with friends and were given the top-floor room, number 11. As we climbed each flight of stairs, the heat became more and more intense.
When we entered the room, especially on one of the hottest days of the year, we discovered that the air conditioning wasn’t working. The room was unbearably hot, and we couldn’t stay in there for more than 10 minutes at a time. We were offered a room in another hotel, but as we had come to meet up with friends, we declined. Instead, we were given a fan, which made little difference in the heat. Throughout the night, the room temperature remained at 32°C. It was unbearable, and we barely slept.
The next morning, we showered and left the room immediately to sit by the river and cool down, as even getting dressed was uncomfortable due to the heat.
My husband mentioned the issue to the manager. He wasn’t complaining, just explaining how uncomfortable our stay had been. The manager was very kind and unexpectedly offered us a full refund, which we really appreciated.
The evening before, we had booked a table for dinner. We ordered olives and bread while deciding on our meals, but they took 45 minutes to arrive. We eventually ordered our food and the starters came out. The garlic creamy mushrooms looked more like a watery soup than a proper starter. The main course was acceptable but nothing special.
At breakfast, we ordered a full English, which again took a very long time to arrive. Most of the staff seemed unfriendly and miserable, with the exception of the manager, who was once again lovely and helpful.
Unfortunately, despite the amazing location, I would definitely not return to this hotel, which is a real shame.
Location and surroundings.
Air con and coffee machine in the room didn’t work. Was very hot in the room and after 3 attempts to get the coffee machine to work, I gave up!
Das Hotel liegt wunderschön direkt am Fluss der Exe…das bei den heißen Tagen erfrischend war.
Überall gibt es Erholungsplötze um da Haus herum mit Blick auf das Wasser
Da Personal ist besonders nett und sehr freundlich.
Das Zimmer ist sehr gut ausgestattet und sehr individuell gestaltet.
Das Frühstück war besonders gut ..
Wir kommen bald wieder ..
Sehr zu empfehlen..
Location
Some staff offhand
We have stayed at Mill on The Exe several times and have always been very happy with everything, in fact we love it there. The previous rooms we’ve had have all been lovely with big windows overlooking the river.
Admittedly we checked in very late this time, but given that we had paid for a Signature room, and it is a little expensive, our son got Room 9 which was acceptable, but we had Room 11 on the top floor. It was a family room, an extra single bed in there. It was dark and not a great view of the river at all. The bathroom is a small dark wet room, and the shower splashed all over the toilet, sink and shelves - the room is too small for a wet room!
So although we will definitely stay again, I guess I must remember to decline Room 11!
The hotel is great. Staff are lovely, food is good and atmosphere outside on the terrace has always been lovely in good weather.
But retrospectively, we arrived late and left without our breakfast the next morning ( Committments) but we should’ve expressed our opinion then.
Answer included in previous box
Wir hatten das Superior Zimmer gebucht und Zimmer Nr. 4 im EG mit Blick auf den Biergarten und Fluss bekommen.
Das Kingsize-Bett war größer als gedacht (mind 2 m), es war super ruhig, von den Nachbarn hat man nichts gehört. Auch das Bad war sehr groß.
Zum Frühstück gab es ein kleines Buffet und man konnte zusätzlich aus der Karte auswählen.
Jedes Zimmer hat seinen eigenen Parkplatz (links vom Hotel, der Parkplatz rechts davon ist für Restaurantgäste).
Es gibt eine Minibar und das erste Bier pro Person ist sogar gratis!
Meckern auf hohem Niveau; die Klimaanlage konnte man nicht einstellen (es tat sich nichts, wenn man die Knöpfe bediente). Wir hatten Außentemperatur 35 Grad Mitte Juni und die Klimaanlage zeigte eine Raumtemperatur von 25 Grad, die sich leider nicht verstellen ließ. Auch die Fenster ließen sich nicht öffnen.

Could be cleaner
The room was quiet, and the bed very comfortable. The staff were friendly.
We could not get the air conditioning to work and it was not described in the paperwork in our room.
The shower would have been improved had there been a grab-handle on the tiled wall; there was nothing to hang on to whilst washing one's feet.
