Egypt Mill Hotel and Restaurant in Stroud

Midweek getaway for valentines while visiting the nearby vineyard. Hotel rooms were in an outbuilding adjacent to the car park. Parking is pay and display but free for guests. Reception/hallways around room were a bit tired, damp smelling and messy but the actual room was decent enough. Unfortunately the digital shower control unit broke and the shower could not be turned off. Spent ages with the duty manager in our room messing around with the shower trying to get the shower to switch off late at night. Not a great way to finish the day and had no working shower in the morning. To their credit they compensated us without asking, otherwise this would have been a 1/5 review. At breakfast a print out of all guests full names and room numbers was left unattended on a bar table which isn’t great.

946441634 Many thanks to Neil for his outstanding customer service, the food was ok, but the restaurant was very crowded and noisy.

Whilst the meals we had were in the main fine and the service was OK, the experience was soured (for me) by the service charge. OK it was my bad for not checking that a 10% (£21) had been added to the bill already (found this out the day after 🙄) but I believe it would’ve been good Customer Service if when settling the bill and paying them a tip, that they asked me if I was aware that Service Charge was already included. On the plus side, I doubt I’ll make the same mistake again!😂

My wife attended a Christmas party which she enjoyed. HOWEVER I collected her at 10pm waiting in the car park for 19mins. I had no idea at this stage that we were supposed to register our number plate when inside the restaurant. To my horror I received a £100 fine 6 weeks later. The hotel are just not interested. I have now received a Debt Collection letter demanding £170. BEWARE! Do not go there!!

We booked a meal for significant birthday for a family member. So we were quite a big party. We booked the table a while in advance and were sent a link to prebook which was great as we were all over the country, it made that part very easy! The food on the day was delicious, served promptly and nothing was too much trouble - we all enjoyed our meals and the staff were great.

We read the reviews before booking and unfortunately we didn’t have the same experience as others. After being seated for 20 mins we had to ask if we could order drinks, we then ordered our food, the starters came and went, the staff all bar one waitress (blond haired woman) were disengaged and not actively looking and checking out tables to respond and offer service. An hour and a half after arrival there were no signs of our meals being served, we asked for it to be boxed up, paid and left. Whilst we were given 20% off the bill my food was awful I’d ordered the peri peri chicken, it was dried out and tough, so it went in the bin. My family stopped me from walking back to speak to the chef I was so appalled at how poor it was. This is our first visit to the area and our joint family Christmas present to each other, we will return to the area but I wouldn’t eat in this restaurant again.

Attended the Spring craft fair on Sunday. Opted for the chicken, bacon and mushroom pizza which as always was delicious. A friend had a sandwich with chips which was beautifully presented and she said was delicious. The smell from the roast dinners being served downstairs was amazing. I really should try one.

What a strange and dismal experience. My wife and I visited for breakfast having heard positive reports. Greeted by a young man who just told us to "pick a table" without any form of welcome. As we walked away to sit down he said "oh and do you want any tea or coffee?" Would have been nice to pick a table, sit down first and then be served properly. I ordered a full English and my wife had pancakes. My twin fried eggs had merged together in to a solid omelette with hard yolks and a dried crust. My requests for sauce and butter were answered by a very unhappy young lady who silently returned and dropped portions on to our table. When I finally requested our bill she rolled her eyes and looked almost irritated. Her entire service was based on minimal customer interaction with a large helping of disinterest. As we left we spoke to the Duty Manager who politely said "thank you for your comments" but was as disinterested in us as were his staff. Saddest thing of all is that all these concerns (except the eggs) were simply a matter of attitude and would cost nothing to resolve. You were great at the Frogmill, what on earth has happened here?

I travel a lot in the UK and abroad and I can say this room was one of the nicest I’ve ever stayed in. We had room no2, the room was large, super cosy, loved the colours and the decor, all very tasteful and high standard. Lovely en-suite bathroom, super clean. Felt really home from home. We ate dinner and breakfast in the restaurant and both were excellent , really friendly staff as well. Highly recommend the hotel and restaurant would love to stay again.

Nice ambiance and very good service. However the food was very average - all the dishes of 10 guests were bland. Seemed like the same glutinous gravy was used for all dishes, veggie and non-veggie. Wine was very overpriced. Rather disappointed in the meal sadly.

Take Away Pizzas ... two for 20 quid ... delicious ... tell your friends 😀

We were a party of 15 celebrating a 99th birthday. The whole experience was stressfree and simple to organise. On the day the service and quality of food was great and everyone had a lovely time. Such a lovely location and whether eating inside or out it's a lovely experience.

Lovely setting and building. Food was ok service not the best.

Reasonable selection of foods on menu, slowish service; great coffee

This review is just for the restaurant part of the establishment. Starting with the good: nice ambience, friendly staff, a good crowd. We had dietary requirements, and staff were very understanding. The bad: we ordered the seafood chorizo paella and vegan pie. The seafood paella was, simply put, not tasty. Yes, it had the bits of a paella, but it didn't taste like any paella we've had in Spain. The vegan pie was mediocre. The pie itself wasn't great, but the sides (broccoli and mashed sweet potato) were tasty.

Nice hotel in a picturesque spot. Only stayed one night but staff were friendly and helpful. Room was clean and a decent size, and bed comfortable. Good range of options for breakfast. Two minor issues- light pull cord in bathroom was dirty (room 12) and the avocado for breakfast was past it’s best. But an enjoyable stay nonetheless.

Stayed at this charming hotel the night before our son’s wedding. The room was comfortable and we enjoyed a lovely evening meal and full English breakfast. The staff were so helpful and went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable. A slight issue with the shower was soon resolved and the staff offered us free breakfast for the inconvenience. I was so impressed with the level of customer service offered and would highly recommend this hotel.

WARNING As a previous reviewer has warned £100 PARKING FINE ISSUED a month later after pulling into the hotel for lunch. NO SIGNS on the Entry or Exit of the hotel - NO WARNINGS about this from staff and ZERO RIGHT TO APPEAL... I've looked on line and found MANY OTHER Food Guests are being ripped off in the same way. UNTIL THEY CHANGE THE SIGNAGE "AVOID THIS PLACE!!!"

We recently enjoyed an amazing Sunday lunch at Egypt Mill Hotel and Restaurant. The experience was excellent, marked by high-quality roast beef, exceptional service, and great value for money. Each aspect, from the food to the service, contributed to a memorable and satisfying family dining experience. Highly recommended!

We have been to this restaurant regularly over the last 25 years. We had our sons 21st birthday party there. Always been good food and helpful staff. However on 19 December we visited for lunch and missed the sign to say we had to register our car number. We have just returned from a month away looking after our daughter in law who is having chemo To find a £100 parking fine. I rang the hotel and was informed from October 2023 you have to register your car registration number with them at the bar. We were directed to our table by the bar staff. Nobody let us know that our car had to be registered. This should be standard practise to their customers. This is appalling and from now on we will be letting all our friends know to avoid this restaurant as we will be too. Shame. The situation is set up as a purely money making exercise. If we missed the sign with three people in the car then I am sure others have too.

My family and I will never go to Egypt Mill again. I have been totally ripped off by the carpark scam there. Having helped my 98 year old mother across a poorly lit uneven carpark, I entered the establishment and was shown to a table...

This was our second visit here and was truly superb! We could not have had better service and Stacey was amazing! The food was excellent! Cannot fault and highly recommended.

Came here for a family celebration and were really well looked after. It was a Sunday lunchtime and the roast was excellent. Mine came out cold but they sorted it out and brought back the dish as it should be. I went for the three...

Fantastic food served at a great pace. They also serve some real ales that were very reasonable prices. All the staff were very helpful and nothing was too much to ask for. Can’t wait to return

Excellent venue in the Stroud Valleys to catch up with friends or family for lunch, and to enjoy the setting by the watermill. Good food, reasonable prices, friendly service, time to sit back and relax with a drink , meal and welcoming atmosphere. Regular haunt...

This is one of the loveliest hotels I’ve stayed in for some time. Lovely atmosphere and setting. Staff seem well trained, diligent and friendly. The room was spacious and incredibly comfortable. Totally recommend!

Great place in a lovely little town. Staff were really friendly and helpful. Beds very comfortable and lovely food and great breakfast

Went to Egypt Mill for a business lunch. Great service from all the staff working during our visit. All the food was well cooked and presented well on the plates. Good value for money. Lovely interior design and a fabulous outside area. Always worth a visit when in Nailsworth.

Just stayed at Egypt Mill Nailsworth, food, accommodation, restaurant, bar, staff all amazing highly recommend a visit. Such friendly professional staff always ready to help. Comfy beds and lovely hot showers..,

We had our wedding in Egypt mill and the venue, food and staff were fantastic. The venue was beautiful, the food was amazing and staff are lovely. We had the best day we could wish for and the venue was so beautiful. The price was good value for money

We held two parties for our 70th birthday parties one evening for friends and one Sunday lunch for family. The room was excellent for about 30/40 people at each event (would have taken more if required) with bar available and pleasant dining and sitting areas. The staff were absolutely excellent and nothing was too much trouble. The atmosphere was relaxed and our guests had a great time. The food exceeded our expectations. Many thanks to Lauren and the team.

Lovely place, friendly and helpful staff. Large spacious room, comfy bed. Amazing food and location great for exploring the beautiful Cotswold countryside.

Friendly and helpful staff, characterful venue, good food, comfortable room, spacious car parking. I commend and will return.

Great team with Charlie and Charlie sorting out problems which arose. Charlie sorted out our computer problems with his knowledge and expertise and Charlie sorted out my dietary needs with her efficiency and a smile. A lovely setting and very lovely staff team. Thank you!

Go for the food but leave the stay out. The food was fantastic, our group had everything from Pizza, chicken & prawn curry & there wasn’t a bad word said ! Everybody enjoy what they ordered. The rooms on the other hand…. Nothing like what you see on the internet. Very drab !!! Room 28 I was personally given & it was a bit like why I’d imagine a hostel to be like ? Walls all marked. Looked to be someone’s old bed, with probably the worst mattress I’ve ever been on ! Was a little chilly & none of us could workout the heaters ? Insects from the window being left open by the last person everywhere as the tree outside is touching. Has a lovely big telly but you’d have to sit on the floor to watch it by the way it’s plonked on the side not facing the bed.

The food and service was first class at this restaurant. The staff were very attentive and the presentation of the food was equally as great as the taste! Would definitely eat here again and recommend to anyone looking for good quality food at reasonable prices!

Back again for the bank holiday Sunday event in the garden. Wonderful organisation for the Barcelona themed event. Food was was amazing. I had the roast pork and it was so tasty, kids shared a pizza na dot was so big it beat them!! Another...

We were here for three days with a lot of other people. The Mill was booked for our wedding so we used somewhere whereelse and partied here the day after. We love this place. The food. The grounds. But the service! The service was good...

We dined here for the last night of our holiday in the area. We drove in from the south of the town and were treated to the sight of the gorgeous buildings, including a cluster on the opposite river bank. The mill is stunning, right...

Return visit and not disappointed!!! Wonderful service from Harry and Betsy. Harry makes the best pornstar martini in all of Gloucestershire Amazing taste, excellent service and when the sun shines it’s like being in Ibiza

Started off nicely, nice bar staff, but then the food just went downhill. The ‘Focaccia’ was just regular bread which was not worth the price, the Camembert was undercooked and caused those who ate it to fall ill that evening, the sticky toffee pudding was...

Absolutely stunning location. The room was very cosy, just be careful if you get one with low beams - ouch! 😄 Staff very friendly and couldn’t be more helpful. Easy parking right outside in enormous carpark and perfect breakfast. It doesn’t get more rustic. Can’t...

Beer tasted like vinegar un drinkable Fish goujon sandwich was semi frozen Please take it off the menu if you can’t cook a simple meal properly The table next to us had the same problem Thankfully all meals refunded but won’t be returning ever again

Lovely evening and gorgeous food. We then booked the following evening. Very friendly staff and great cocktails

A must visit if you enjoy lovely food , dropped in for lunch and it was fantastic, lovely location and as the weather was good we sat outside , great service by all and plenty of parking, dog friendly too 🙂 definitely will return

The venue is excellent. You can't see from the road how beautiful the place is. It has deeply padded seating which may be important for some visitors. We had a really helpful waitress serving our reasonable food. You can leave cash tips -but you can't...

Came with friends for the first time and unfortunately will be the last. Had a fish finger sandwich which when it came out was cold and the fish still frozen and uncooked. The waitress took it away and I was sent another one but seriously...

I should start on a positive note by saying we’ve had a few good meals here recently. However today didn’t live up to the usual standards. There was a bad smell (faeces!) in the bar and blood on the toilet roll holder. After ordering I...

We stayed at the Egypt Mill for an overnight stay and ate in the restaurant and had breakfast in the morning. We went as 2 couples and the rooms were great in a separate building next to the bar and restaurant. All the staff were...

Great food, beautiful presentation, friendly staff. Gorgeous Cotswold building. So lovely to sit by the river and watch the ducks whilst enjoying a cold glass of wine or beer.

Visit to Egypt Mill last weekend a wonderful place with excellent food and a wide choice of drinks, the staff were helpful and extremely friendly I cannot recommend this hotel enough. Thanks very much

Great lunchtime menu, the food was served quickly and was excellent, attentive and friendly staff.

Had the best Pizza in years!! Thank you Chef. Sat out in the garden chilling with friends. What’s not to like

Dinner was excellent, we shared the calamari and the halloumi fries which were amazing! We then had the fresh sourdough stone baked pizza which were incredible. Service was quick and the were super helpful and cheery! Would definitely recommend!

Not been for a while. Loved the new decor but the garden is still the best thing about Egypt Mill. Loved the live music on Fathers Day

Had a lovely father's day meal. Food was delicious. Staff were very welcoming. The outdoor music was fantastic and a lovely addition to the special day. Overall a great experience. Will definitely go again.

Excellent food with live music outside, good ambiance and staff were really friendly! The live music was the perfect addition to a tasty roast dinner. I would highly recommend to family and friends!

Fantastic service and evening meal with a great variety of choices. Not many better beer gardens to sit out and enjoy either.

Lovely spot. Staff are incredibly polite and helpful. Couldn’t recommend more. I’ll definitely be coming again and for the foreseeable future, too.

Very friendly and helpful staff. Food arrived in good time, which was very much appreciated as we were very hungry! Roast dinner was delicious, followed up with lovely desserts. Overall a great dining experience in a very beautiful setting!

Beautiful setting with a water mill. The history of the building is fascinating and there are many pictures of the refurbishment from a old mill. We stayed for two nights in a lovely room with beams and high ceilings. The bathroom was a bit tired...

Called in for some drinks while we were staying in Nailsworth. Great drinks menu with plenty of choice. Lovely outdoor seating area with amazing views of the river. Deco was nice inside as well. Had alcoholic drinks and finished the evening with a lovely coffee

I met a friend here for Sunday lunch a couple of weeks ago. The staff were friendly, the service was good and the food was great. It's in a lovely setting and it was nice to be able to sit out in the sun with...

This is a place with real atmosphere. My husband and I were staying overnight for a wedding nearby, the next day. Friendly, welcoming staff throughout. We were a little worried about low beams in the bedroom, but we were unscathed. Nice room, comfortable bed with...

First (and last) visit to Egypt Mill today. Food took ages to arrive and when I asked at the bar how much longer it would be the waitress was incredibly rude about my query as I walked away, (presumably she thought I couldn’t hear). Don’t...

We were really looking forward to trying the restaurant since the refurbishment. Unfortunately the food was very disappointing, we had the fish and chips. The chips were completely dried out and powdery, I alerted the waitress to this and asked for some fresh chips, these...

We were staying at the Mill, but as we had had a large lunch out with family, we only wanted something snacky in the evening. There is no bar menu, but we were able to use the restaurant and have a couple of starters to...

No provision for coeliac people, unsympathetic and unhelpful staff. Their understanding of providing a GF meal is to remove ingredients from the dishes without providing an alternative choice. Ended up eating the grilled halloumi which is marked as GF on the menu only to find...

Lovely picturesque spot by a river and weir. We loved the historic old building and our room in the separate block was lovely. The bed was v comfy and we appreciated the tea/coffee making facilities and honeycomb pieces! Bathroom small but well appointed. Staff very...

Great service and food. 2 meals here in one day. All good was great and everyone was more than happy

Went here with friends, recovering from New Years hangover. Greeted with happy smiles and exemplary service from staff. Food was good, although a little on the expensive side. We will be back!

Stayed at hotel over new year - ate in the restaurant on both nights and really enjoyed our meals - We ate steak, burger, linguini and salad meals and an excellent lemon meringue Would recommend eating there.

Amazing evening in fabulous atmosphere and food and wine were superb. Totally enjoyed and planning to return very soon

First class service great food really enjoyable evening with friends and family, highly recomended for a great night out

Great venue and staff very friendly & attentive. Great ambiance inside. Prices on the high side, especially for deserts,, but they looked yummy. Sadly not all good. My burger was over cooked and, despite asking for my Capuchino t be hot, it was quiet cool....

Met up with a friend here and we had a great meal sat outside on a hot summer's eve. Could not complain about anything, good food and service.

We sat outside with a drink late afternoon, overlooking the water. It was a lovely experience. We decided to have dinner there and were extremely pleased with our meals. We ate inside; lovely ambience. Staff were extremely attentive and helpful.

We arrived and was greeted very warmly by the staff, especially Ben who went above and beyond, we were made extremely welcome from the start. Comfortable quirky room and great food go hand in hand and nothing was to much trouble. Beautiful surroundings with plenty...

Well where do I start? As a little back story we booked Egypt Mill for our wedding back in 2018 and we were due to get married there in 2020! As I’m sure everyone can already guess the wedding didn’t go ahead because of covid!!...

Food was great, home cooked and very tasty and they do the best triple cooked chunky chips ever (I rate a lot of places by their chips!)

There was nothing about the hotel that made it special and I probably wouldn’t have left a review but I want to mention two members of staff who turned things around so that we left feeling happy and well looked after. After being woken up...

Been a few times . like to sit outside with the dog or inside for work lunch. Always be pleased, so meet friend from Bristol for dog walk and lunch. EGYPT MILL I thought , BUT THE FOOD WAS LET DOWN BY POOR SEVICE, Went...

Not visited in along time Beautiful settling but what have you done to the bar/ restaurant area beside remove all the character ! Staff pleasant but not knowledgeable about the menu which wasn’t over inspiring, I thought I was in a cafe when our wine...

What an excellent lunch today Egypt Mill. Lovely environment, truly quality food, great hostesses, and my friend and I were quite royally treated, but my precious litle dog even more so. Altogether a wonderful experience. I live maybe 30 miles away but will be back...

Good food delivered with excellent and friendly service. The wine also was excellent. All at a reasonable price.

We thoroughly enjoyed a stay at Egypt Mill - to celebrate a special occasion. The staff were friendly & helpful. The hotel room was clean & comfortable.

Such a lovely hotel in an idelic place. The town is small and lovely. We were sceptical as we stopped in stroud before check in and it is not a place i would visit again. Alcoholics arguing in the street at 10am. We then went...
