Murcott Mill

Fantastic place to stay, and the hosts were the most accommodating and friendly people we've ever stayed with. Great breakfasts with beautifully fresh eggs, lovely views and a really comfortable bed. A massive thank you to the hosts for making us feel so welcome. Can't wait to stay again!

We love this place, the room was very clean. The facilities in the room very good with tea, and coffee and the breakfast was really good with a lot of choice from cereal to a full English cooked breakfast The owner very nice and even dropped us into town for our family do. Would definitely stay again. Many thanks.

When first looking for accommodation, the reviews gave an extremely favourable impression. The rooms are furnished in a very old fashioned manner, and are very tired. The heating seemed to be turned on and off on a timer, so when we returned at night the rooms were freezing and remained so throughout the night. The bed creaked every time I sat on it to get in or out, making me feel like an 80 year old. The serving bed in the room was positioned close to one of the windows and these were very drafty with an armchair in front of it, but this left access to and from the bed very limited it was a bit of a squeeze. The bedside lamps were touch sensitive but had to go through a sequence before they went off. It was very disturbing for the other person in the room if you needed to turn the lamp on in the night. The "ensuite" was adequate, but only just, with a really old electric pump in the shower that fluctuated dangerously from scalding to freezing whilst trying to shower. Electric sockets all had extension leads trailing around the room, but not one seemed to be PAT tested.... worse was the total lack of any fire or evacuation procedures/ instructions visible anywhere in the room, the dining room, or anywhere that were visible to us (though fire escapes were visible from the outside) . The breakfast was OK, though half a glass of orange juice each was ready poured on the table when we entered the dining room, no cold water was provided. The train line embankment at most approx 100 yards from the property, and despite lots of reviews saying they never heard the trains..... we damn well did on both of the nights we stayed! Finally, we don't recommend trying to find this place on a dark wet night. The lane runs through fields, then takes a sharp left and is a single track, where on a dark, very wet night, it's easy to lose visibility and slip off onto the surrounding field. And no, we won't be returning or recommending.

We really enjoyed our stay at Murcott Mill. The hosts, Carrie and Brian were wonderful. The included breakfast was great. Our room was spacious and comfy with a view. It was a superb place to stay in a very quiet and pleasing landscape.

Absolutely lovely place. Very welcoming, bedroom had everything you needed and the breakfast was perfect. It had a lovely family feel to it and the owners couldn't do enough for us. We will certainly be returning and highly recommend.

Very good breakfast, property and room very cold, low pressure shower.

Very welcoming, excellent breakfast with quality produce. Lovely building and set in a great location. There is a nearby railway but we never heard it. The room was very clean with a comfy bed. It’s near a local village has excellent food options with recommended places to eat detailed in the room We went to the local chip shop and brought our meal back to the B&B to eat outside on a picnic bench whilst overlooking the farmers field. Lovely and peaceful

My sister and I stayed here for one night following a visit to Althorp House, which wasn't too far away. A lovely B&B in a peaceful rural location .. you do need a car though. Very accommodating host when there was a mix-up with the bed and Carrie promptly changed it to a twin room, having made us a pot of tea which she left in the lounge. Very comfortable room and delicious breakfast.

Was very good for the purpose. Need somewhere comfortable and affordable for our overnight excursion.Quiet which aided a good night's sleep. Well located and easy to find. Nice rural location whilst adjacent to the town.
