Hotel on the River Avon with a Working Waterwheel and Riverside Gardens
Rooms and Accommodations
The Old Mill Hotel & Lodge offers 35 bedrooms with views of the River Avon and the surrounding Somerset countryside. Guests can choose between rooms in the main hotel building - a converted flour mill from 1907 - or the adjacent Old Mill Lodge annex. Each room provides a flat-screen TV with satellite channels, an ISDN telephone link, and quality toiletries.
Dining
The Waterwheel Restaurant serves a menu focused on locally sourced and freshly prepared ingredients, with a working waterwheel visible from the dining area. A bar and coffee house on site offer additional options for drinks and light snacks. Special diet menus, a kid-friendly buffet, and wine or champagne are available upon request.
Location and Activities
The hotel sits on the banks of the River Avon, 2 miles from Bath city centre and close to landmarks like Thermae Bath Spa, The Jane Austen Centre, and Royal Crescent. Guests can rent bicycles, go canoeing, or take part in fishing and water sports directly from the property. A sun terrace and garden provide outdoor space for relaxation, with regular bus services connecting to central Bath.
Family-Friendly Amenities
Family rooms are available, and the hotel offers kids' meals and a kid-friendly buffet at the restaurant. High chairs and special diet menus can be arranged, and outdoor activities such as cycling and canoeing suit families looking for exploration. An express check-in/check-out service and luggage storage help simplify arrivals and departures with children.

Private on-site parking is available at a cost of £10 per stay, significantly lower than many competitors in Bath.

“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.”
