The Millstream Hotel and Restaurant in Chichester

I recently hosted a family lunch for 17 at this elegant and yet good value restaurant. I cannot praise the staff, and the menu, highly enough. We had a really good experience and recommend it highly.

Pretends to be a fine dining restaurant . Had the atmosphere of an old peoples home. Pretentious. Poor service and Customer Care.

We came here for a weekday lunch and had a beautiful meal. The food was delicious and the service very good. The smoked salmon main in particular was excellent. The restaurant setting was really lovely and we’ll definitely return.

Pre-booked the restaurant during our long weekend trip - based on reviews. Fabulous Saturday night dinner with the family. Excellent service, and beautiful surroundings. Some fabulous dishes and well presented. Definitely recommended!

THEY DO NOT ACCEPT AMERICAN EXPRESS CREDIT CARDS!Well managed Covid 19; temperature checked on arrival, plenty of hand sanitisation gel and all seats in lounge area taped to show they are safe to use. Appropriate distancing in the restaurant. Mr Patel, restaurant manager was very welcoming.This modernised old building is charming and spotless.Tempura prawns were lightly battered with succulent prawns. Chalk stream trout was perfectly cooked with a rich creamy sauce. Roast pork with the nicest apple sauce and roast potatoes. All the dishes were perfectly accompanied without having to order side dishes. All well presented and delicious.Wines were overpriced with not a good range of selection. Would probably visit again if they accept AMEX or we are being treated.

Freshwater trout followed by roasted peaches made our seaside trip exceed all expectations. Thoroughly recommended. A solid well managed establishment.

Our experience was of a well spaced room. Far from being ‘non existent’ Covid precautions extended to having our temperature taken on arrival.Our mains of Trout and of Fish Cake were nicely seasoned and properly executed.Service was pleasant and efficient.I do agree that the decor in the restaurant is of a bygone era..and that is not a compliment!But on a sunny September day it was a good place to be.

Looking at the photos this place looks fresh, fairly modern and somewhere you would want to eat.In reality, this place looks like a nursing home with tired decor, no atmosphere, dull office style lighting and somewhere you definitely would not go on a romantic date night meal.Internally the place looks like an old motel, not hotel, or like I said a nursing home. The carpets and curtains are as old as many of the clientele and the service was intrusive/impatient (chasing us for our order several times), but nonchalant thereafter not bothering to clear away the menus (until asked) that clearly got in the way.When sitting down for a 'fine dining' experience, you expect table cloths, candles, and salt and pepper mills, not bare tired OAP home tables with little sachets of salt and pepper and a fake candle in an upturned candle holder.There was a complete disregard for COVID-19 as well. We (2) were crammed in between 2 parties of 4 (elderly people so more vulnerable) in a small area of the restaurant, being led to believe they were SO busy this was the only table left. On exploring I discovered round the corner the rest of the restaurant was empty and we needn't have been shoehorned in with no privacy.The food was below average, the steak was tough and the duck tasteless, but for the prices it was a rip off. They even tried to enforce a 10% discretional gratuity, by automatically putting it on the bill, designed to make any visitor look bad asking to have removed.I would certainly never go back there and at the prices I felt ripped off, especially as a week before I went somewhere that cost twice as much and was fantastic.It's a shame as we went there on a date night out and upon entry felt deflated by the decor and ambiance but had higher hopes for the food and service which was equally deflating, leaving us wishing it was earlier so we could go somewhere else to pep up our evening.

Had fish and chips two friday nights in a row, they were easy to order by phone and contactless arrangements to collect, friendly service, really tasty and found a lovely spot by the water to eat....perfect for a friday evening :)

Fabulous takeaway fish and chips, excellent value and great tasting! Looks exactly like the photo. Thank you.

Enjoyed being with friends and a very pleasant place to be. Good atmosphere. Starters were all excellent and two friends enjoyed their main course though one of them had to wait as the wrong order was delivered even though pointed out on the menu Two of us had the fish and chips and they were not as good as when we had previously had them. Very greasy taste and cold peas.We had to ask for bread and were shown a basket with hardly anything in it.Not the usual standard we had become accustomed to.

We came to celebrate my Sister-in-Laws Birthday. Such pleasant, helpful staff, comfortable rooms and delicious food. Roaring fire made it very cosy being so cold and wet outside. Would definitely visit again .

Another lovely visit to the Millstream. As always the welcome and the comfy room lived up to expectations. Dinner was excellent and breakfasts are rather special. The service in the Millstream is lovely too. We look forward to a return visit.

We stayed at this hotel for three nights and ate in the restaurant each evening. The dinners were delicious. Once we’d tried the cheese soufle starter we had to eat it again!

We went for lunch on the Monday between Christmas and New Year. An excellent menu, a somewhat over-expensive wine list, and the food was beautifully cooked and served by a friendly team. It was a very happy occasion, and the fact that they forgot our order of coffee made no difference! Planning to go again...

Lovely hotel with excellent staff and lovely food. Nothing too much trouble. Pre theatre meal and then back to hotel for our desserts. Lovely.

A pleasant evening overall but for a Saturday night didn't appear very busy so lacked a bit of atmosphere.The amuse bouche was really lovely and great flavours.When my calves liver arrived it was nicely presented, but oh dear, very overcooked and quite thick slices.I spoke to our lovely waitress who immediately apologised and arranged for a replacement.This was better but I am a great fan of calves liver and often cook it at home.In my opinion it should be thinly sliced and have the texture of soft velvet.Really disappointed.Having said this my husband's was ok and the beef and chicken dishes ordered by our friends were delicious.The two puddings were also lovely.We were not charged for a bottle of wine by way of an apology which was appreciated.

At the beginning of this year, I was with my husband in Bosham near Chichester. On the second evening of our adventure, we booked a table at the fabulous 2 AA Rosette Millstream Restaurant.Location:Millstream Restaurant is located in the center of Bosham village in The Millstream hotel. It can be easily reached by car from Portsmouth or Chichester – the drive takes around 20 minutes.Atmosphere:The restaurant has an elegant décor and an inviting atmosphere with lots of natural daylight supplemented by the views across the gardens. We were welcomed by Zsolt who was attending our table through the night. He was extremely professional.The menu:Millstream Restaurant serves dishes that are prepared according to traditional recipes, with a modern twist. Head Chef Neil Hiskey sources the best ingredients and takes pride on bringing the flavours out in each dish. All guests can choose from A La Carte menu providing at least 6 choices for each course with some of the dishes changing daily.Starters:I decided to order Seared Scottish Scallops with some black pudding, apple, celery and verbena salad. The dish was delectable.My husband decided to have some home cured salmon Gravadlax with pickled fennel, dill, crème fraiche and accompanied by lemon rye bread. It was perfect!Mains:There was a few great mains on the menu so it was difficult for me to decide what I should have. After a bit of a consideration, I ordered a fillet of bream with some shellfish bisque, cornish potatoes, spinach, crab beignet. The dish was really tasty.Desserts:I am always looking forward to having a dessert and I ordered some pistachio cake that was accompanied by almond cream and cashew nut ice cream. It was delectable!My husband decided to have a selection of Sussex and Hampshire cheeses with oatcakes, wafers and quince jelly. He enjoyed them with a glass of port recommended by our waiter.Overall experience:We both had a lovely time Millstream Restaurant and will definitely return here when we are in Surrey. The restaurant serves delicious food based on fresh, seasonal ingredients and the service was faultless. If you are looking for a great meal then you should definitely book a table and experience it yourself.

Had a wonderful afternoon tea at the Millstream which was a wedding anniversay gift. Plenty of tea, sandwiches and cake and two fabulous scones. Sat in a very comfortable ,cosy lounge by a blazing log fire and being taken care of by the lovely friendly staff . Take the time to have a walk around Bosham village and harbour it's a lovely little place.

Great quality food lovely breakfast plenty of selection very friendly helpful staff nice relaxing atmosphere

We visited here to celebrate a friends birthday and couldn't have had a nicer meal. The service was impeccable and we were made to feel very welcome.

It seems churlish to deny the restaurant an excellent rating; the range choice on the menu is excellent, the staff are on hand to deal swiftly with your desires in a friendly manner, and the food on the whole is very good.

Two couples out for a really nice lunch at The Millstream yet again. Always very good service & fine food. Never had a poor event there yet.

Very nice meal with very attentive staff. The food was exceptional. A fine dining restaurant that we will certainly return to

Really delicious meal and attentive courteous staff. Good choice on the menu and some extra touches. All highly recommended.

Whhat a great area and situation. We met friends here for afternoon tea and it was absolutely delightful. Afternoon tea was served in lovely surroundings. There was a good selection of sandwiches (with the crusts cut off), light scones with jam and cream, small chocolate morsels which were delicious and a fruit posset served in a Demi tasse cup. All very enjoyable. The restaurant is nicely furnished and had a very nice atmosphere. Excellent and attentive staff.

Went here with friends for dinner. Didn’t realise tailored shorts were not allowed (in the 30 degree heat), but the manager sat us in the restaurant anyway. It wasn’t busy when we arrived, just a table of 6. To be honest, once your legs are under the table, nobody can see then anyway!

....... and it did not disappoint. We ate in for three nights. It was very nicely presented and served and we ate some very nice things each evening.

Service good. There were no vegetarian options..,just 2 vegan mains. I chose pasta. I didn't have a starter because the only starter I would have liked, out of 2 choices, was also pasta. I paid an inflated price for a very average, very small, lukewarm portion.

This is in a great location, but if in the original part of the hotel, rooms are of poor quality, bathrooms out of the 60s. Inadequate air conditioning and for £230 per night incredibly overpriced. Staff were friendly and helpful, but I would not recommend or stay here again.

This is a great place for family gatherings They appear to be very well organised and used to dealing with large groups

This is a really comfortable and friendly hotel. The food is excellent, the service attentive and friendly. They are also very caring about one's welfare. For example, while I was out one day I happened to have a nasty accident at another café where I was badly scalded with hot soup. I rushed back to the The Millstream Hotel where the Staff couldn't have been more caring, for although they were very busy catering for a large funeral party they immediately attended to my injuries and distress.

Enjoyed a cream tea here in lovely surroundings. Very quick friendly service. Would recommend. Staff were very friendly and efficient.

It has been a while since we’ve been to the main restaurant at Millstream and it appears to have changed little apart from a lick of paint, which is a very good thing. I don’t know how the 2 rosettes are arrived at, but they lead you to expect something relatively good. However, this is not the case, as the food in this restaurant combines a subtlety with real depth of flavour that is rarely found. We can’t remember what we ate last year at an establishment with a Michelin star, but then we can remember dishes from our visits to the Millstream restaurant, even from ages ago, which says a lot. This restaurant definitely has a winning team, with exceptional food accompanied by excellent service, both to be proud of. Only two stars, you've got to be kidding!

Stayed here as a base for our jaunts over a lovely weekend. Team were busy but. Rey friendly and helped us whenever required. Stayed in the cottage rather than the actual hotel. Beautiful surroundings, quiet and quite luxurious. A very nice treat. Hope to return...!

Gorgeous West Sussex village location. Pretty building with good quality of decor throughout. Service was very good all through our stay.

What a beautiful hotel and gardens. Perfect on a summers day.

We regularly travel over twenty miles from the other side of Chichester to visit The Millstream Hotel and despite the distance we are always happy to do so. We vary eating in both the hotel’s restaurant and adjoining Marwick’s Brassiere.

Too interested in chatting than to serve at the bar. Waited 15 minutes but wasnt even acknowledged. It wasn't that busy. Left for a better place.

I booked two rooms so we could celebrate my Mum's 85th birthday at the weekend. We had a fabulous time. The hotel is beautiful, and situated in wonderful gardens in a lovely village. Nothing was too much trouble for the very kind and attentive staff. They made us feel very special and left a box of chocolates on Mum's bed as a birthday gift. That extra touch went down very well! The food, both at dinner and breakfast was of very high standard. Overall we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely return.

We booked in here on a Saturday night for our anniversary celebratory meal. The service is very attentive and formal but friendly. The decor and table settings matches the idea of fine dining. There was a wide choice on the menu.

A very busy Saturday at this lovely hotel and restaurant, but we had several staff attending to our three course lunch. Absolutely lovely food served beautifully, excellent staff, lovely surroundings, enjoyable wine. A great and relaxing atmosphere, just a perfect meal on a sunny spring day.

Absolute perfection and glorious food.Everything about The Millstream is as shown on their website in fact a bit understated. The highlight is the food in a stylish Dining Room.

A lovely, quaint hotel in a beautiful village. Staff were very friendly and helpful throughout our stay. Room facing the garden was beautiful and very comfortable. Pastry chef amazing - from homemade shortbread left in rooms to Danish pastries - delicious. Talented bar tender too - best Mai Tais ever! Food was lovely and pianist accompaniment delightful. Restaurant waiting staff could do with a little more training but all in all, a fabulous (if pricey) place to stay.

We went to lunch at the Millstream to celebrate my birthday, the food was good, and the service ok. However when it came to pay the bill, things were not so sweet. The lunch menu is not cheap at £27.50 for three courses, the dinner menu is even more expensive at £42.50 for three courses. So we get the bill, we only had one glass of wine, one soft drink and two courses each. The bill came, and we paid and added 10% tip. Then we thought- again, and studied the bill again- we had been charged the evening prices! We pointed this out to the Maitre'D, who didn't apologise, and mumbled something about he gets confused between the two prices for lunch and dinner- how convenient! It was broad daylight and the sun was shining brightly. He took the bill away and came back 20 mins later with the amended version, BUT, having conveniently left on the original tip of 10% of the higher bill. We couldn't be bothered to wait another 20 mins for them to change that so left, disgusted. This looked clearly to us as though this happens frequently, and knowing that people don't like to make a fuss in public rely on customers just to pay. I wonder how many people have been ripped off in this manner? Not recommended.

Managed to squeeze in another cheeky one night stay as a Christmas treat.

We haven't been to The Millstream Restaurant for quite a few years. We always enjoyed our trips but moved further away, so stopped going. It was my husband's birthday and being a Tuesday, many of the really good places were shut, so I booked a table and told them it was for a birthday.

Excellent service good roasts, sirloin and pork, very full brassiere, to hot in the restaurant. Staff excellent very attentive .

Imaginative and varied meals, Wonderfully cooked, beautifully and promptly presented. Very attentive staff with friendly greetings for the many returning visitors. Almost a family atmosphere.

Have visited this restaurant on a number of occasions. Very good standard of food and service. Have recommended it to friends and family.

Visited for lunch for our wedding anniversary and had a beautiful meal.The service was superb, attentive, friendly but not intrusive. Excellent value for money, we will be returning.

Went here for a drink and to look at the menu but after waiting 10 minutes or more for the barman to even acknowledge us we went to eat at Marwick's

Dined in Magwicks for two evenings.

Really enjoyed the meal here with well cooked food and pleasant service. Wine good. Good atmosphere in our private dining area

As a local and having visited the hotel several times and eaten in Marwicks bistro, I did not hesitate to recommend the hotel to an elderly friend who wished to stay in the area.On dining with him in Marwicks (the restaurant being fully booked) on Wednesday, 12th September) I felt that the menu was not as varied as is usual and that my friend had to decide on the burger which he did not enjoy. I usually have the Thai curry but decided to have the hake dish and found it tastleless and smothered with pesto thus ruining the flavour. However, the staff were very attentive and had no issues with the service. However, I understand that the following morning, breakfast was chaos ! Staff running around like headless chickens not knowing which table food was going to and plates not being cleared. A lengthy waiit resulted. However, when breakfast came it was satisfactory and everything was fine. Breakfast the following morning was as it should have been.In his room my friend requested a bath mat but it never materialised and he had to request a second time for fear of falling. This has resulted in complete embarrassment for me especially reflecting on the price which he was prepared to pay as he thought (and I) it must be of a high standard. Sadly no.

What a place, the setting, the ambience, the food, the service & the staff, I can’t say anything other than thank you for a wonderful night. Everything was amazing, you just couldn’t fault it one bit. 100% top marks

My wife and I were invited to the Millstream by two friends for evening dinner on a Saturday night.

We had dinner following a recommendation and the food was simply fabulous. Some of the most delicious smoked salmon (with wonderful lightly pickled onion, radish, creme fraiche and dill) I have ever eaten. Barbecued lamb (perfection) with felafel, barbecued courgette, a feta cream and rich jus with wonderful chunky chips. And easily the best pistachio cake I have ever eaten with an almond panna cotta and cashew nut icecream. We are very much looking forward to our next visit!

The Millstream Restaurant has a good reputation so I was looking forward to my visit. The service was excellent and very attentive but the meal was let down by the main course. I ordered short rib of beef. What turned up was a rather unexpected and it would not have been amiss to call it "pulled beef" in a block. Stringy beef had been compacted into a rectangular shape and then served with some rather indifferent vegetables. The starter and desert were OK but nothing exceptional. The whole meal was however let down but the main course.

I have been a regular visitor to the millstream hotel for several years using both the restaurant and Marwicks. yesterday I took my partner as a birthday treat to the restaurant .

Nice afternoon tea served in the garden after blustery walk around Bosham harbour. Lovely setting and attentive staff.

Very nice garden setting by a babbling brook.

Wonderful meal with friends, very impressed with the food, staff, ambience. Rivals many fine dining establishments at a lower price and with much less pomp and ceremony which was lovely. Wonderful setting

This first class beautifully presented and staffed main restaurant in Millstream Hotel has something for everyone. Wonderfully cooked and interesting choices include excellent quality meat, fish and vegetarian options - all served with a smile. (The walnut bread is my favourite uncharged extra) Neil - Head Chef still rules supreme and his team have good understanding of the menu and serve happily and efficiently.

We both think the Millstream is in a beautiful setting, with attentive and welcoming staff. However, although the lunch we had here was beautifully presented and flavoursome we were quite taken aback by the fillet steak supplement (on top of the £3 each supplement extra for the scallops). Don't get me wrong, we are happy to pay extra for such tasty food, however, there must have been a maximum of 4oz of fillet on each plate so not sure why a £23 for two courses turned out to be £34 plus £4 each a side for potatoes and veg! So 2 courses for 2 people came to £80 with only 4oz of fillet each!!

From the wedding arrangements, to the accommodation, the civil ceremony, the reception, the quality of the food, drink and above all service was excellent I can’t recommend this hotel and restaurant highly enough, 5 stars! Thank you for truly memorable day.

Whilst staying at the Millstream, which certainly is a pleasant , and well situated hotel, A visit to the fine dining room is a worthwhile experience. It would be difficult to fault the quality of fare provided, the Chefs are quite clearly talented and the presentation first class, couple that with excellent and rewarding tastes and this is a very good dining venue. My only very slight comment would be that accepting that it is a good restaurant, the quality of service could be improved, it is never good enough having given your order to the Maitre D to be asked "who is having what" when the plates arrive. But a minor point and certainly no reason for not enjoying the splendid fare on offer and the otherwise friendly service.

If you are happy to pay a little more for a fine dining experience, this fits the bill. Not overly expensive, but an excellent innovative menu with a wide range of options. Thoroughly enjoyed the meal and dining experience.

We received a warm welcome at this efficiently run hotel on the beautiful Chichester harbour. Lots to do and see and picturesque places to walk in the locality. The food is first class as is the service. The rooms are well appointed, clean and modern.

Wonderful meal,excellent service, lovely setting, all of us had a fantastic evening . The whole meal was wonderfully presented, and cooked to perfection with a very attentive staff, attended to our every need, thank you for a great night.

First time to visit this hotel, managed to get a booking after a cancellation. Offered a garden room which had all the necessary features. The Hotel was always nice and warm with log fires burning in the lounge, There were plenty of staff who went out of their way to be helpful.The food was beyond excellent, could not find the smallest complaint, the food was always presented with attention to detail and always hot in spite of the hotel being full. Lovely area to just walk around. It made the visit thoroughly enjoyable and Will result in Further visits-try it you will not be disappointed

We went to book our sailing club's Christmas dinner and decided To try the lunch first. The food was fabulous and the staff were very helpful.

Visited the Millstream on business today and the experience was exceptional. Great service from start to finish and myself had a wonderful sandwich lunch in the lounge. We had a portion of chips with the sandwiches and they were the best Inhave had in ages - crisp on the outside and fluffy on the inside. Would return in an instant.

OK so there are 2 problems with the main restaurant. Firstly it’s not unusual to find that nearly all of the customers are over 75, particularly out of the holiday season. Most of the pre-retirement age diners seem to head for Marwicks brasserie. But don’t let that put you off, as you’ll be seriously missing out. The food in the main restaurant is packed with flavour, the service is excellent and there’s a welcoming ambience. There’s little extra touches, such as the amuse bouche and the handmade chocolates, that elevate the experience. End to end, it easily betters Bailiffscourt which is almost double the price. The second problem is you’ll be comparing everywhere else to the Millstream, which somehow just does it that little bit better. Oh and if you like the dining experience on your cruise ship holiday, give this place a try.

We visiting the Restaurant for a lunch. The food, service and environment where fantastic. We where greeted well. The menu is great, we had a three course lunch. The food was presented well and was of excellent quality. We ordered side dishes because we where unsure of how the main meals would be presented, but actually the meal in itself was sufficient. The Restaurant was fairly full with hotel guests and a party of ~20 people at an Anniversary party, the service was excellent, staff where appropriately attentive and allowed time better each course. Would recommend this venue for that special occasion, but be sure to book.

We have dined here on a number of occasions over the years and have never had anything but excellent service. Always a warm welcome from the manager who ensures you have a perfect time. The restaurant has a nice ambiance, the food is superb and very well priced for such a nice place. Thank you.

Really nice hotel but expect to pay for it. We stayed here for three nights b and b and for the money we could have had a week in Spain. Not complaining though it really is lovely and a special treat for us. Would recommend.

Thought it worth the time to submit my first ever online review. Visited in September for a family lunch. Booked for the main restaurant not the brasserie. Some of the best food I've had for some time. Not cheap but very good value. They have a talented team in the kitchen.

A friend and I have just had an Afternoon Tea at the The Millhouse Hotel In Bosham. Having had afternoon tea in many places around the world as well as the Uk, I can say that this was on parr with best!

A very well presented lunch with beautiful flavours and nice and hot which is not always the case these days!

Stayed for two nights when visiting nearby Chichester theatre" 5 stars for Fiddler on the Roof". Exceptionally friendly and efficient staff, our package included the very full English Breakfast which was 1st class. Didn't have dinner there but on two occasions we enjoyed good quality smoked salmon and roast beef sandwiches at lunchtime including a complimentary glass of wine on our arrival day. Hotel rooms consistent with its rating and found the mix of marble and tiles with a skirting strip of carpet in the en suite slightly strange. Hope their on going refurbishment changes this. Lovely gardens back and front and simple parking and we would certainly return and enjoy all the features beautiful Bosham offers.

Having been for a walk around the harbour we came here for lunch in the garden. Service was friendly, efficient and prompt. The sandwiches were excellent with a choice of different and tempting choices. We had Crab with lime and Chicken and Tarragon mayonnaise with a dressed garnish. The setting was peaceful and the garden and grounds were pretty and very well maintained.

Rather for the more elderly person wanting to escape the tourists. Good food but a little stuffy and not cheap

An excellent range of menu. Plenty of choice with regular changes of dishes. Superb meals. Excellent friendly service.

This is a lovely gracious restaurant, with impeccable service and delicious food. We went here for a special lunch with relatives and were very impressed. We had the '2 courses for £18.50' lunchtime deal, and were delighted with the meal. The food was beautifully presented - my husband said that the twice baked blue cheese soufflé was the best starter he'd ever had - and we all found our various options were attractive and most tasty. We were served attentively but not intrusively and were even given delicious hand made chocolates with our coffee. Altogether a very good experience!

Compliments to the fantastic restaurant team. My family took me to the Millstream for dinner for my birthday. Firstly, the staff are incredibly astute. Unfortunately I didn't catch names- but attention to detail was greatly appreciated- like carrying my gifts over to my table, helping my mother over a step. My family all agreed the staff are a discerning, perceptive, friendly group of young people. We all enjoyed our meals; the trout was splendid- the flavours of each individual component, flooded through. Recently, we enjoyed a meal at another locally renowned restaurant within the Goodwood estate ..... The Millstream at Bosham is my new number 1! A very well done all of you.

Lovely cream teas, especially if weather is permitting , outside. Great setting in pretty village, visit the Arts and Crafts centre afterwards, and walk down to the water is enchanting.

This restaurant is a delight. Really good food and wine. Beautifully cooked and served with an efficient staff. Need to change the glasses to something a little finer to ensure that the excellent wine list can be better appreciated.

We were fortunate to be able to peruse the menu outside while partaking in a homemade strawberry prosecco. The menu has asterisks next to the dishes which can be included in the fixed menu. Careful though if specials are recommended as these are not included, even when cheaper than dishes included. This spoiled somewhat our memory of the meal as we had some confusion at payment time. Plates not overly full, prices quite high, tastes good. Most staff Italian and not easy to comprehend.

We discovered the restaurant here almost by accident as we thought it was only a hotel, but how pleased we were to have found it. The food was really excellent and the staff were so friendly, they went out of their way to make sure everything was to our liking especially for my friend who has gluten free requirements. We will certainly go back there again.

The Millstream Hotel is a really lovely looking building, plenty of parking at the back. We had booked lunch in the restaurant although the menu in both the restaurant and brassiere are identical!Nicely furnished and the tables all looked really pleasant. Service seemed a bit rushed to start with as we were given very little time to look at the menu and choose - the waiter had to come back twice before we were ready!Great choice of dishes, very nice complimentary breads. There is a set two or three course menu as well as the a la carte - certainly enough choice for everyone. Daily specials also displayed and explained.Food was cooked to perfection, well presented and served by friendly waiters.Deserts were glorious and a lovely touch to have hand made chocolates served with the coffee.Would certainly recommend the restaurant and would also choose the hotel to stay in if I were in the area.

Enjoyed staying here even though price was a little higher than I would normally pay. The rooms are reasonably equipped and clean. The bar wasn't as cheap as the local pubs but most drinks were bottles.Breakfast was very good if not a little late starting in the day for me. Also not sure about the staff putting the source on your breakfast for you.The staff were all friendly and helpful.

Went with friends who live in the area who come here a lot - and I can understand why.It oozes quality - if slightly old fashioned decoratively.Everyone had different main courses and each said how good theirs was - my crab salad was a special of the day and could not have been better.

Stayed for a weekend recently and whilst our room was a little dated, it was clean and comfortable. The hotel is simply lovely and relaxing. The breakfast was fantastic and the service overall was very good. We would definitely stay again

We had an excellent dinner there. Efficient and exceptional service in a very upmarket and stunning location. Beautiful stream all around the hotel set in a pretty garden.The Millstream Hotel is set in the heart of the village between coast and countryside.I can highly recommend the place.

Worth a visit. In easy walking distance to the bay. Lovely setting, chocolate box scenery . Well worth a visit . Has a beautiful stream all around the hotel.pretty garden with gazebo

We were treated to full afternoon tea at the Millstream in celebration of a special anniversary. It could not have been nicer. Efficient and friendly service with excellent scones, tea, sandwiches and cake ! Lunches and dinners in the past have been similar. A delightful venue for a truly English hotel experience.

Another lovely stay at The Millstream but can someone please teach the breakfast chef how to fry an egg. It's not hard, well actually they always are that's the problem. Every stay I ask for soft fried eggs and every time he cooks them to within an inch of their lives! If I wanted hardboiled eggs I'd order them ;-)

Went for lunch with my wife. The food was fantastic and the service excellent. Good selection of wines. Always worth another visit.

We ate here twice (once in restaurant and once in bistro - which is a little more informal) during our stay in a self catering apartment owned by the hotel. The standard of cooking and presentation is very strong with a good range of choices for all courses, and some variation on a daily basis. Good choices also on wine list. Service also very pleasant and it was clear that there are many visitors who return on a regular basis and are well known to the staff. Very much enjoyed both meals; would recommend strongly and hope to return at some point.
