Egypt Mill Hotel and Restaurant in Stroud

We had our Silver Wedding celebrations on the 2nd November. The buffet suppled was first class, over seen by their Head Chef Jiben Joseph, the food was superb and enjoyed by everyone. We would thoroughly recommend the Egypt Mill Hotel and Restaurant for service food and hospitality. Look forward to staying there again

We absolutely LOVED this place. You enter amongst a beautiful setting of the river and fairy lights, We waited for our room in the cosy bar/restaurant downstairs which had a good selection of food and drinks before being checked in. To our surprise we’d been upgraded to a room with a bath which was the BEST!! The decor of the room and bathroom was so well done and we thoroughly enjoyed our 1 night stay. The team were so accomodating even bringing us chips to the room from the restaurant despite not officially doing “room service”. It was such good value for money, we said we should come back here to the bath room every 6 weeks for a reset!

Nice rooms , clean , modern decor , converted mill, loved our stay and food was exceptional. Had to wait to check in as was so busy but apart from that the service was good , friendly staff. Not blown away by Nailsworth or Cotswolds to be fair but not the worst place.

Attended a great 70th birthday bash here, didn't stay in venue but all the family said it was great. Had a fab time. 👍🏻

Had a small problem when checking in due to hotels.com not passing on note regarding dog but hotel dealt with it brilliantly Great grounds and even better with a dog. Everywhere in adjacent village is dog friendly

Me, my partner and my eldest son came here for a return visit to the Egypt mill for a Sunday roast. The food was, as always, exceptional and the same can be said about our waitress - from the moment we got here, we couldn’t help but notice how quick on the mark she was with tending to everybody and even when some of the other waitresses weren’t available to help the others, Stacey stepped in. When it came to taking our order, Stacey was very welcoming and also apologetic for the short staff however we barely noticed the shortfall. Our waitress literally lit the whole room up with her demeanour and is a credit to the Egypt Mill

We visited the restaurant and thought the food was excellent but the service was lacking. Food took a while to come out and it was difficult to catch anyone’s attention to ask for the bill.

We stayed here for a night before attending a wedding elsewhere. The food was absolutely delicious, we had the best dinner and breakfast. The prices are expensive but you get what you pay for! The rooms are lovely and very clean, the whole place is very well kept with friendly staff.

Lovely food and all the staff were great, but a bit disappointed by the speed of service. We popped in for a quick lunch on our way home back to London with 2 kids so ordered the 2 course set lunch menu thinking we'd be in and out in about 90mins max, but after 2 hours we had only just speedily finished our mains so sacrificed the kids desserts and left.

So cute! So many views and great character and charm.

We just had to came in again and hope for a better experience and were not let down! Bruce took care of us from begining to end and everything was perfect. He was charming and funny and enhanced the experience completely. Food was fantastic. We are going ro return again!

Food: 2/5 | Service: 2/5 | Atmosphere: 5/5 | Value for money: 2/5 They have a really stunning outdoor area. It’s really peaceful with birds, ducks, and plenty of fish gobbling little insects on the water. The afternoon provides good sunshine and I felt like I could happily sit on the water’s edge listening to the waterfall all day. The food wasn’t very good. It was a fairly pricey menu considering the quality was severely underwhelming. The burger bun was burnt and the patty completely overdone, and the chips were over cooked too. We sat at our table for ages with no staff noticing or thinking to come check on us once the food was delivered. So we had to go inside and point out the error. The manager didn’t seem too concerned and simply removed the burger from the bill without even an apology. The cooking and waiting staff may have been distracted by a wedding taking place in another part of the venue. However, it ruined our first visit. We would return for the garden but maybe just stick with some lemonade or a tea.

The staff were particularly friendly and helpful, making this à truly memorable stay.

First visit, nice garden and food good. Service a little slow but didn't impact our group as we were busy chatting!

We had not been here for a few years and we learnt it had had new owners since our last visit. A great lunch and such a nice spot to eat outside by the water. Good service too.

Very slow service, food took far to long to arrive and even when it did one meal still wasn't ready and came out 5-10 mins after the rest and the pizza was only just cooked through. Although most of the group enjoyed there meals, the "piri piri half a chicken" was the least enjoyable meal I have had in a long time. Although the chicken appeared cooked through (not pink) it had a horrible slimy undercooked texture, with no meat which resembled the texture of breast meat, I could barely stomach a few mouthfuls of it, and had very little flavour to it. By time staff came to clear plates (no one came by to check everything was OK with our meals) we had already had to pay due to the long delay in service and needing to leave. I was told they would feed back my comments to the kitchen, but ended up leaving feeling hungry and feeling like I might be sick, as something was not right with the chicken I was served.

Visited for lunch in the week, the food menu was lovely - so different however there were about 6 things unavailable but we were first orders at 12ish so that was a little disappointing. We had the duck salad and the chicken flat bread and it was some of the best food we’d had in a while. We came on a very sunny day so the grounds were stunning to be sat outside. The only thing is it is not very accessible for prams or disabled. All steps and no ramps. There is a path from the road that is fairly overgrown but this needs to be signposted and kept cut back for access to back garden - hense the 4 star.

Google Maps photos of this hotel don't do it justice. It looks a lot more welcoming and beautiful than what's pictured. Check-in and out were a breeze; staff were friendly and efficient. The hot breakfast was delicious (we ordered eggs florentine and eggs benedict) and the hotel left freshly baked cookies in our rooms upon arrival. Enjoyed our stay here and wish we had stayed another night.

I had lunch at Egypt Mill with my partner and had an amazing time. We were served by Bruce who was fantastic! He made us feel welcome and made sure we had everything we asked for. 10/10 would recommend.

Previously enjoyed visiting here whilst staying in the Cotswolds. Unfortunately they now do not take cash. Such a divisive policy that discriminates against already marginalised members of society like the old. And as a small business watch those card processing fees sky rocket once there is no cash alternative.

A delightful place to visit - we had and excellent meal - the staff were friendly especially the North American gentlemen ( he may have been Canadian)

Super nice place to stay! The staff is very nice!

Sorry but only give the 3 star after horrible night I had in my room. My mother was with me . We didn’t slept at all. Lots noises, door, we stayd in room 20. In the morning my mother was in so upset. She did cry and made me feel so bad. Was a surprise night for my mum. I was so angry I don’t have have breakfast at property. We decide to go home.

USED IT AS A BASE TO ATTEND A WEDDING AT ANOTHER HOTEL

We are so grateful to Lauren (weddings and events manager) and her team for all of their help in the lead up to and on the day of our wedding meal. We had an intimate dinner with just the family following a low-key ceremony at the local registry office and the team really made it all the more special for us. All of our guests commented on the ease of service, delicious food and beautiful spaces. Thank you so much! Molly & Ben Weatherston Xx

Actually a really HAMMER place. We were looking forward to the overnight stay and the chic beer garden, then -- an absolute ignorance and unfriendliness when checking in, rarely experienced... Very young "snobs" (sorry for the expression, but I can think of something better not one... ) at reception who don't pay attention to you, don't greet you, even though I did this three times myself... you don't want to be looked down upon just because you're traveling with a motorbike and the appropriate clothes.. .The mood was gone. Even after discussions about the unfriendliness and arrogance, no apology. We then had dinner in the local pizzeria, which was very tasty, as well as a glass of wine and beer. It's a shame, when we arrived we thought we'd stay here for 2 or 3 days...we also had breakfast somewhere else. No thanks :) In addition, the money is debited without a word that it has already been paid. Not okay. - For the owner who certainly wants answers - you can save yourself... ;)) No word of apology for other 1 star reviews either. This explains your company structure by itself. GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR IGNORANCE :)

Very disappointing. Booked breakfast for 35 people, pre-ordered food and paid a deposit yet still orders were wrong, food arrived slow and sporadically, with some finished before others even got theirs. Portions were small for the cost, and the pancakes looked and tasted like they were from a packet. The full English breakfast was quite tasty although some of the orders had missing elements. The waiting staff were working hard and tried to correct the issues although many tables did not have drinks orders taken at the start. Would not recommend.

Food is very nice from main menu and a lovely setting out in the garden. The sunday roast is slso probably thd best iv had

I stayed here for 1 night, 26-27th December at approximately £100. The WiFi did not extend to my room and there was no water in the shower. I was offered a refund of 50 percent - excellent... Until this never was given. Despite asking staff in the morning, leaving a written message when checking out (staff stating couldn't do it themselves), several rounds of messages on email and via the booking company. No one ever answered the phone. I was eventually told it would be refunded but would take a few days. I'm still waiting. Breakfast was decent, if a little slow arriving.

A quirky hotel with a great vibe. The rooms were good, the staff extremely attentive and the breakfast was excellent. Will definitely go back and probably stay for dinner too!

For a nice place to sit and have a relaxing drink I couldn't fault the place. The staff were friendly, and helpful. The food however left a lot to be desired the meat was undercooked the food was tepid at best and it lacked any flavour. Considering the prices they are asking I would go as far as to say I have had a better macdonalds. Extremely disappointing.

Rooms were very clean and well equipped. The beds were extremely comfortable and a great night sleep. Breakfast was amazing and very tasty. Will definitely book here again when we come to the area. Location was stunning with a nice river running through (you couldn’t hear it in the rooms)

Incredible meal, with stellar service by Norven. Thank you so much.

Meal only. Very good food, well prepared and presented. Staff brilliant

Beautiful rooms , lovely property, little issue but solved easily; staff fantastic, efficient, very friendly and helpful. Hotel at least 3 or even 4 star with all the potentials, definitely recommended!!

We have just been and had a Sunday roast lunch. Absolutely delicious. Outstanding waitresses. Brilliant service and a fantastic setting. Thank you Egypt mill and all of your staff.

Stopped off for birthday lunch with my daughter and 10 month old Grandson. Very friendly staff which made the visit extra pleasant.

Good big hotel / restaurant. Just be aware you need to register your number plate when you go in. Lovely setting though in the summer.

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.

Never disappoints. Eat the food and drink the drink. You will most likely enjoy both.

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

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!!

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!😂

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.

What an excellent place for lunch. Morven was especially attentive,informative and present and made the best Irish coffee. Highly recommend

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.

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.

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

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 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!
