It's an absolutely amazing place. Exceptionally clean rooms, plenty of hot water, and very comfy beds. Really good food, including breakfast and evening meals, reasonably priced bar and staff that are lovely and friendly and are happy to go above and beyond. I can not recommend this hotel highly enough. As an intimate wedding venue, it's amazing,

From check in to check out, we experienced 1st class attention. Food in restaurant was great and good value. Loved how quiet it was despite being close to a busy road. We will certainly come back to this hidden gem.

Such a beautiful venue and hotel - we stayed for 2 nights - the staff were incredibly friendly and amazing with our one year old, we were extremely lucky to have the whole place to ourselves and we had an amazing time! The food and drinks were reasonably priced and delicious - it was just an all round relaxing experience and we will be back! Thank you so much for making our wedding so perfect, can’t wait to see the photos from Paul!

We had our wedding at The Mill Forge on 12/11/24 and our whole 2 night stay there and the wedding day was absolutely perfect. We arrived on the Monday with our 24 guests, and left on the Wednesday and every single one of our guests commented on how amazing all of the staff had been at the Mill. They asked for all of our decorations and Pauline decorated the roundhouse for us so perfectly, better than I could have done. Jamie on reception was great too! The bar/ restaurant staff and breakfast staff were all so lovely and accommodating to us all and made us feel so welcome and nothing was too much trouble. The bridal suite was perfect, with complimentary chocolates, shot glasses and Prosecco and so much space to get ready the morning of the wedding. All of our guests were so happy with their rooms too. The food was lovely, especially the breakfast which was a pleasant surprise as we didn’t know it was included ☺️. Our wedding day was perfect. The chapel looked absolutely beautiful and the roundhouse room for our meal was stunning. Every single person on that day was just amazing honestly we can not fault any of it. The day was perfect and it was so much better than we had imagined! The grounds for photographs were stunning and our photographer was absolutely lovely. The disco at night was so much fun and the staff were so accommodating in terms of music requests etc. Myself, my husband and all of our family members loved every minute of our stay here, we are SO glad we chose to have our wedding here and we would recommend it to everyone. Even my brother and his fiancé are wanting to get married here. We had a winter wedding package and I must say for the price, it was just the perfect day. We were all over the moon with all of it. Thankyou so much, I can’t remember everyone’s names but every single member of staff was brilliant though out the whole stay. Sophie & Ryan x

We arrived late and the first impression was that it was worn. But when we saw it in the morning it had a completely different expression. The room was not so cozy. But the bed was surprisingly really good. Good pillows and nice duvet. The shower super good. The breakfast was good and the service hereditary and helpful. All in all, a really good pit stop.

Essentially it's a wedding venue with no frills. However did the job for a few nights. Breakfast was good, however dinner was mediocre. The sign in the bedroom informing guests to use the ironing board and not the floor and a fire extinguisher was a surprise.

Really helpful staff, both on the phone and in the bar where we checked in late. Gluten free starter, main & dessert - first were both chicken so I only had starter of 2 chicken skewers with side of chips, but dessert was blackberry & apple crumble (never seen that before as g-f dessert - great change from the usual ice cream and or brownie). Chicken & Leek pie special was enjoyed, but sadly the sticky toffee pudding lacked dates and moistness. I enjoyed the Merlot, but no ginger beer or local ales for my companions. Rooms were well provisioned (even iron & ironing board) but no sockets near bed heads and windows wouldn't shut tight so slight traffic noise all night & woken by 7am ?furnice? din across from Room 9. Location really close to our route from Isle of Skye to SW England was a huge bonus - literally 1½ minutes from A(M) road, and exactly halfway on our long, long journey.

We stayed in the small double rooms which both had a double bed and a single. Drink making facilities, small TV, iron and hairdryer. Cosy and very clean room with comfortable beds. Shower with fluffy towels and toiletries. Evening meals in the main building were tasty and all staff were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was included with a small selection of cereals, toast with scrambled eggs or full Scottish, all good just not a vast choice.

Stayed here for 2 nights for my niece's wedding. The staff were fantastic, very friendly and always happy to help. We all had a meal night before the wedding and on the day, food was delicious (sharing platter was lovely and plenty of it) the breakfast menu had plenty of choice, I had the Scottish breakfast, perfectly cooked, great portions but on the morning after the wedding, 3 members of my family said their breakfast tasted like soap, didn't complain as it was a one off. Mine tasted OK. The grounds are beautiful, perfect for the wedding photos. The wedding Chapel is lovely as is the garden outside the Chapel, very well maintained. I stayed in room 10, didn't hear any motorway noise, just birdsong. Bed was comfortable, great shower, had coffee/tea etc in room and hairdryer. Iron needs a good clean though, I wasn't able to use it, meant to mention it but forgot as it was a trivial thing. In the middle of nowhere so cannot get anything to eat after 8pm (time they stop serving food) shop in reception just had coke or chocolate. (Didn't ask if you could order takeaway) Every single guest said what an amazing experience it was from start to finish. Definitely recommend. 🥰

As we were staying at The Mill Forge, we were automatically booked a slot in their restaurant - covid reasons were given, but I suspect it's more an astute business decision. It did make everything super easy though, so we just went with it.The menu is basic cheap & cheerful pub fodder, so I wasn't expecting great things. However, I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the sharing platter & the really delicious veggie curry. The portions were generous, & good value for money.The wines are a bit ropey, so perhaps just stick to G&T. And they could do with some music piping through to help with the ambiance. The staff are all friendly & bubbly. Again, I would like to activate the (non-existent) Trip Advisor 'Good' rating. I wouldn't necessarily go out of my way to eat here again, but if I was passing, I would certainly consider it an option.

We were staying at the Mill Forge as a stop over. We could not find any local restaurants with tables free, so we decided the eat at the Mill forge. You are allocated a table based on your room number and we were put in one of the lifeless rooms to eat I have ever experienced, pic below, what did to help, no-one else was in the this room. Aware things need to change due to covid, but we ate out over 12 times on our trip and this was grim. What made it worse was the 2 young girls standing at their work station chatting about their social life and what their mates had to drink a recent party. As the place was so quiet this went on most of our meal.We had the mixed platter to start, it was all deep fried and poorly presented, not the best of starts. The moons came and no improvement. My Partners salmon was so over cooked and the amount of boiled potatoes could have served 4 people. My burger was again solid, dense and way over cooked, the chips and onion rings were not to my taste, so I only ate the burger. £42 including 2 drinks, i felt ripped off and was extremely poor value in such a poor environment.

Stayed at Mill for two nights, never stayed before in fact didn’t know of its existence. We wanted a nice quiet break in nice surroundings and we were not disappointed. The actual lay out of the hotel all rooms like self contained chalets,your own front door keys. The staff were brilliant working through these hard times with COVID 19 but they have it off to a fine art. The food was exceptional choice was varied and quality super. M argaret was a wealth of knowledge about the history of the Mill and took time to show us round what a beautiful building. We will definitely return . Thank you room 19 xx

Our first night we decided to order food and we as a group had some young children and when the food arrived the portions were massive. When the children could not finish the meal because they were so big a female waiter and bar staff member said it was a massive waste and a waste of good food. Did not appreciate the rude tone of the comment and inconsideration of young children and portion size. Disappointed!

This restaurant is an absolute gem! We visited there for dinner and the food was amazing! Huge portions and authentic American tastes! Though the food should be the star and it was we have to send special thanks to Cameron who went over and above the fantastic service we received. He actually took us back to our hotel in his own car as we couldn’t get a taxi. He offered straight away to take us to our hotel which was over and above anything I’ve ever received in a restaurant! In a nutshell if you want a fantastic meal with fantastic staff then do yourself a favour and visit The Hitchen Post you won’t be disappointed! Once again thanks to Cameron for a wonderful meal and a very much needed lift home!
