Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Old Mill Hotel enjoys a fantastic location with stunning architecture, nestled on the waterfront with the River Avon flowing by, and a beautiful beer garden with ample seating. Many guests appreciate the comfortable, well-furnished rooms, some featuring a Dyson fan, and the convenience of the pod coffee machine in the room was a plus. The hotel is within walking distance of Salisbury city center and its Cathedral, roughly a 15-minute amble, but some guests have noted that soundproofing between floors could be improved.

Charming Stay Near Town

coffee machine power points comfortable bed river walk
The room included a pod coffee machine. It was much appreciated. I found ample power points for all my devices! The bed provided really good comfort. The hotel's proximity to the river walk into town proved convenient?
Soundproofing between floors could use improvement. Noise traveled easily.
