Our new website

After weeks of work behind the scenes, and in readiness for the busy year ahead, we are delighted to have launched Mill End's new website today.  The new website includes some lovely new photography, a wealth of information on the hotel and our surroundings, a selection of "Mill End Experiences" to enhance our guests' stay with us, and a selection of our latest sample menus from The Restaurant at Mill End.  We've also included a few snippets from Mill End's history, including a delightful copy of a page from the 1962 "Signpost" hotel guide, which make fascinating reading!
The new website is sure to contain a few "wrinkles", which we will iron out in time.  If you have any comments on the new site, or suggestions on things you'll like to include, please do get in touch.

A little early Spring Cleaning

No sooner than we'd said goodbye to our welcome guests who stayed over the Christmas and New Year period, we embarked on a few jobs around the hotel during our short closed period.  We are always sympathetic to the hotel's heritage, so our aim is to keep what is good, but refresh things with a gentle touch here and there.  A few of our bedrooms have had a fresh coat of paint, and some new and stylish wallpaper in-keeping with the hotel's country style.  In the public areas some of the curtains and lampshades came down briefly while we applied a nice new coat of paint and generally spruced things up a little in readiness for the Spring.  Whilst it is still a little cold and (sometimes) rainy, it really won't be long before vases of fresh local Daffodils bring a touch of Spring to the hotel.
