Staff are very kind and helpful. Nothing is too much trouble for them. The food is absolutely wonderful, and as a result we ate most nights in the hotel. Five stars all round!

Lovely, comfortable hotel with excellent dining. Helpful, friendly staff. Delicious good value meals including breakfast. Only drawback is steep stairs to rooms and no lift (but don't let that put you off - just be aware). Plenty of parking. A 20 minute drive to the Kynren show. I have stayed here twice (to see the Kynren show) and highly recommend it.

Excellent stay as always food is really good lovely stay thanks

Nice busy pub with good food and accommodation.

All good! And breakfast is encluded!

Superb... great hotel fantastic food and excellent value

The staff were absolutely lovely here, in every area; bar, kitchen, cleaners; everyone we interacted with were just a pleasure to deal with. The breakfast was great and really good value with great, friendly service. We also ate an evening meal there; portions were huge and great choice. Rooms were comfortable and perfect for a couple of nights. I would definitely return and would have no hesitation in recommending this to anyone. And if I wasn’t clear at the beginning, the staff are fantastic; a real asset to the business!

What a beautiful inn. It’s quiet and the staff are all very friendly. I stayed there one night and chose it because of its proximity to Kynren. It was about a 15 minute drive from their car park. So convenient! Especially when you’re getting out of the show at 11 o’clock at night. Their breakfast in the morning had lots of options, both hot and cold. I wish I could’ve stayed longer in the area.

Overnight stay on way from Scotland to England. Stayed here before so knew what to expect. Only criticism is no gluten free bread or dairy free spread for breakfast toast. They do have a gluten free menu. We took our own bread and spread and gave bread to another guest who was extremely grateful.

Our room, while not over-big, was v clean quiet and all facilities were in good working order. Excellent shower. The food was great, well cooked and big choice- both breakfast and the evening meal. Reasonably priced. Staff helpful and efficient. We'll look forward to returning sometime and already recommending it to friends and family.

A comfortable and welcoming stay

Excellent in ever respect.

Staff were lovely and the food was amazing. Nice clean room and a grand breakfast. Can’t fault it.

Key card didn’t work in the outside door but someone heard knocking and opened the door

Warm friendly staff. Very generous food portions!

Really helpful and friendly staff, the evening meal was delicious as was the breakfast. The room was clean and quiet. The only slight negative for me was the real ale, one pint was enough, I had to go onto the lager unfortunately! Having said that I would stay again. Easy, no hassle, friendly and good people.

Just returned home from a 2 night break at the Old Mill with my wife and we had a fantastic time. Easy check in by helpful staff. Room clean and tidy with tea and coffee making facilities and great shower. Excellent bar meals (home make steak and kidney pudding was a personal favourite). Drinks reasonably priced (£12.60 for a pint and large wine). Lovely breakfasts, I had full English both days and my wife with a smaller appetite asked for smaller breakfasts selecting what she specifically wanted and that was accommodated without any issue at all. The Old Mill is ideally located for an easy 15mins drive into Durham. I would have no hesitation recommending a stay there.

Great location for visiting Durham and surrounding areas. Room clean and comfortable. Excellent ‘free’ breakfast. We enjoyed a meal in the evening which was good value for money and large portions. Can recommend.

Bedroom comfortable with a generous offering of tea, coffee, etc on the tray. Staff pleasant and efficient. A fair selection of food, in the evening. Breakfast excellent. My room was near a big road with noise all night. Triple glazing needed. Strange smell in bathrooom overnight.

Overnight stop from Scotland to England Staff very friendly and efficient. Food menu very good. As it was a Sunday, my wife chose the beef sunday lunch and they catered for her gluten and dairy intolerance, and did the same for the excellent breakfast. I chose off the specials board. They also had a good dessert menu, and again, had an option out of the freeezer for my wife. Room was modern with a good modern shower. Will definitely stay here again on our next trip up North.
