The Millstone, Mellor

A Premium Price for a Substandard Experience The Millstone Inn markets itself as five-star accommodation with rates to match—among the highest in the region. Unfortunately, the rooms tell a very different story. Our room was surprisingly cramped for the price point, with tired carpeting that bore multiple stains throughout. Water damage was evident on the ceiling, and housekeeping standards fell well short of expectations—we found a long black hair on the bed linens upon arrival. The restaurant clearly draws a discerning clientele (judging by the car park), but the accommodation itself wouldn't merit two stars by any objective measure. While the Thwaites group may have elevated expectations through their marketing, the reality is a significant disconnect between promise and delivery. For these rates, guests deserve far better. Until substantial improvements are made to the rooms, there are better value options elsewhere in the area. Though we planned to stay at the Millstone for 6 nights, we immediately made other arrangements.

Very helpful and friendly staff. An amazing dinner for 7 people was delicious, hot and varied. Our bedroom in the Annex was comfortable and had a great walk in shower. Lots of hot water. The carpet could do with a shampoo. It was very marked in places. The decor and soft furnishings are delightful. Shame about the rain but then it is Lancashire,

Lovely village pub, restaurant and hotel with such lovely staff (particularly Zoe). Easy check-in and lovely touches in rooms such as freshly made shortbread and a large variety of hot drinks. Breakfast was amazing too. Rooms looking a little tired but certainly wouldn’t deter me from booking here again.

Comfortable Comfortable place to stay with pleasant decor, a nice bathroom and fluffy pillow. Housekeeping could have been better but overall I would return. The food in the restaurant was good although the service was fairly poor.

Would stay again. Friendly staff, great rooms, great food! I'd definitely stay again. Call up in advance or provide notice for any specific dietary requirements to give the chef a heads up!
