Andy, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Sawmills a great stay.

A clean and tidy room with a modern open building including the dining area and bar. Very busy when we were there and staff pressed with new young employees in training. Food as expected, whilst no cereals with breakfast - the full English was perfect. Friendly staff on the whilst but one member (they will know who they are) has a lot to learn when dealing with customers.

Helen, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I booked The Sawmills as it was close to where a family member lives and had no idea how great it would be. It is so well run by John, the food is fantastic, all the staff are great, the chairs by the fire are super comfy (the ideal spot for an excellent baked Camembert) and the rooms are incredibly clean. Oh and the espresso martinis are first class and the full English breakfast was just about as good as they get. I highly recommend this place and I never normally leave reviews. Will definitely be returning!
