Warm, clean and comfy rooms with great decor. Slightly on the small side but it was only for one night and on the upside rooms are incredibly well stocked - a clean lavazza coffee machine, iron and ironing board all included! Breakfast was delicious! All staff were lovely and helpful.
Nothing negative to say.

Lovely, warm and welcoming. Although our rooms were above the bar area you couldnāt hear the customers downstairs.
Very friendly and helpful staff. We ate in the restaurant the first night and the food was excellent. We stayed on B&B and I would definitely recommend the breakfast

This was our third visit to The Millstone and it didn't disappoint. We love the place. The location is very peaceful and the staff so welcoming. Great breakfast too. We come from Scotland to visit relatives and will definitely be back š
Not really a criticism just personal choice, we don't like memory foam mattresses...they are far too hot...we also like to have an opening window.
We will ask about this on our next visit but it won't stop us coming!

The bar is dog friendly, warm and welcoming.
The accommodation is worn, dated and our room was at the top of very steep stairs. The noise from neighbouring residents was intrusive. The room was cold as the radiator was not working. .

It was a convenient location to reach the Preston Crematorium for a funeral. The room was comfortable with good facilities and we were able to have our dogs stay in the room.
Staff were very helpful and friendly, food was good quality and there was a lovely atmosphere in the bar/restaurant area.

I had the full English the first day , which was very filling and kept me going all day. The second day i had eggs on toast and they were very well cooked. The tables are laid out beautifully and it is so nice to have tea from a teapot in china cups. The attention to detail makes this place very special.
Nothing.

Breakfast and service excellent. Some nice touches in room like choice of drinks,lovely shower.
Room hadn't been cleaned well, we found a used glass and bottle lid under bedside table on arrival and many corners has visible dirt especially bathroom. There was mould around the windows we couldn't open the trickle vent. There were scuffs on wall and chair. A tray/ coasters would have protected the unsealed wood furniture when making drinks.Bathroom tap was very loose/ wobbly. Maintenance had not been kept up.

It is very close to family who we come over to see from Derbyshire. We always get a friendly welcome and the breakfasts are very good.
The hairdryer kept stopping and starting. Upon looking at the PAT labels on the hairdryer, iron, fan, lamps etc everything was out of date, some by 5 years.
When having breakfast this morning, Dec 29) the handyman guy came in the dining room and took all the lights and decorations off the Christmas tree??? Is Christmas over already? If I hey gad to take it down, couldnāt they have least waited until weād finished our breakfast?

Quient cozy Pub Inn, with lovely Common area period decor. Great breakfast.
Over priced! Rooms too small and floor squeak noise from room above. Description on booking. Come says executive double. Wrong description as nothing executive about the room. Bed only a small double. Room decor can do with tender loving care.

Lovely warm friendly feel to the pub & hotel rooms. Staff were brilliant. Food all delicious and very good value. Beer well looked after & great quality. Super dog friendly.
Room was small. Once the two dog beds were in no room at all. No where to hang up wet coat to dry after my walk so it had to drip on towel rail. I always wish doggie friendly hotels would offer doggie towels & a Wash bin to pop them in. I keep mine in car boot but it stinks the next day. Itād be a brill addition to have a shake zone at back door - dry off towels into a big wash bin before you come in!

Lovely situation in beautiful village, we were visiting friends and meeting elsewhere but I was very tempted to stay for the evening when we arrived!
Nothing really, drainage of sink a bit slow but I forgot to mention to staff. Iāve no doubt they would have sorted it based on their helpfulness otherwise. Stairs are quite steep.

The Millstone, Mellor is a lovely place to stay. The staff are welcoming and there is a real homely feeling to it.
They serve good food at a very reasonable price in the pub. At the time of our visit, it was well decked out for Halloween which we loved!
We had breakfast included within our stay. It was cooked fresh to order as well as having a selection of cereal & toast available. When checking in, we were able to pick our preferred time to come in for breakfast.
Our room was located in The Courtyard.The building was clean and the hallway smelt divine! There were tea & coffee facilities and the homemade shortbread was a delicious touch!
Our visit was for a family wedding at Stanley House and The Millstone is located perfectly for guests attending weddings here but not staying at the venue as it's only a 4 minute drive away.
It's hard to pick something negative about The Millstone but the only thing I did notice was the bathroom struggles with condensation so after a shower the walls were very wet and it takes a while for it to dry out.

The only problem which wasn't the fault of the hotel, was noisy fellow guests that woke us during the night.

Staff are friendly and helpful, room is well appointed. Water in the room when we arrived (important tick!). Shower is pretty powerful and plenty of hot water. The breakfast is excellent, perfect poached eggs and good coffee. Dinner in the pub was also very good.
Room is a little bit small but not a major issue as we only slept there. A little pricey for the size/location but the quality is as I would expect.
