“The old mill setting on the river is quite something, offering tranquil views and a welcome escape from the city bustle, even with the slight charm of the working mill wheel adding character. Value stands out here, particularly with the generous continental breakfast spread and the easy walk along the canal into Bath. While some areas show their age, the comfortable rooms and genuinely helpful staff make it a sensible choice for those prioritising a peaceful riverside location and good value.”
