Egypt Mill Hotel and Restaurant

I could leave a three word review for the Egypt Mill; tired and drab. However, I'll elaborate a little on that. A pub/restaurant with rooms, we ate, drank and stayed the night. The rooms are very tired, bland, cold (in temperature and feel) and have no character at all - see pics. I won't be unkind but will just say that the place really does need a refurb. The bar/ restaurant is a rung up from a Wetherspoons, the food average, however, a positive was the friendly staff - they get you a three instead of a two . I have stayed in worse places - I remember a B&B in Blackpool in the 90s - but the Egypt Mill Hotel is the kind of place that if I found a chocolate on my pillow I'd call housekeeping.

What a lovely place! We had a nice stay there, the room was super nice, bed was excellent. Breakfast was outstanding, and our waiter Bruce was out of this world!! Never met such a friendly guy before. You are lucky to have him in your team. Also dinner was excellent, definitely will come back again!

This was a return visit after a previous stay where things were not up to our expectations. I am pleased to say that we had a great stay this time. We were in one of the rooms in the adjoining building which have recently been refurbished and upgraded. The room was really well appointed and we would be delighted to return and stay there anytime. A massive rebuild/refurb of the Jones building (which is where we previously had a bad experience) is underway. If this is completed to the same standard as the other refurbished rooms it will make the Egypt Mill a place worth visiting again.

Very nice location. The setting is lovely. The bar was good. However a couple of small points 1. The breakfast service was very very slow. They must have the slowest chef in the region. In fact despite being included we had breakfast elsewhere. They really should consider a hot buffet. 2. There are no plugs near the bed. Given reliance on mobile phones this is quite annoying 3 evening meal. We didn’t try it (due to breakfast experience) but our friends did and said it was good.

Parking charge: £170 after bringing the family for a meal (~4th visit). Massive empty parking lot. Must have forgot to checkin or something. Reached out to the hotel, they did nothing. Parking charge got sent to debt recovery plus. Never going back.

Always love going back each year for our annual Cheltenham festival stay, Smooth check in and really lovely room (room 2) freshly redecorated and ample room for our overnight visit, Followed by the a very nice full English breakfast,staff always polite and helpful,thank you EMH

This was the first time that we had been to the Egypt Mill. It will not be our last! We had booked a table for 4 for lunch. The car park is parked at the back of the mill. It's a tight turn in from the road, but no problem. There are signs everywhere, to ensure that you register your car in the establishment, to avoid attracting parking charges. Charges only apply if you are not using the establishment. Registration is via a computer tablet which is located just inside the entrance doors. Once again, when inside, there are plenty of signs to remind you to register your vehicle. The location of the mill is very nice indeed. As one would expect, there is a fast flowing waterway which travels alongside the mill. Inside, the old building blocks are plain to see throughout. When married with the rest of the original features, the ambience is quite stunning and very pleasing to the eye. We were met on arrival by Morven. As it transpired, she was to be the main member of staff responsible for looking after us throughout our meal. Her friendliness, professionalism and general demeanour were a pleasure to observe. We decided to order all 3 parts to our lunch; starter, main and dessert. We were not disappointed! The food was cooked to perfection and appeared to have been cooked to order, rather than pre heated, ready to serve. The entire experience was an absolute joy. Albeit this was our first visit, the overall experience has dictated that it will not be our last. Thankyou to all involved at The Egypt Mill. A particular thank you must be afforded to Morven for being the main, front of house, representative.

A friend and I enjoyed a couple of nights at this beautifully restored mill, with exposed beams and very comfortable beds and bed linens. Breakfasts looked wonderful and the staff super helpful. Highly recommend this hotel and I am sure I will be returning.
