The Old Mill

Set on an idyllic bank on the River Avon, and dressed in a tangle of beautiful green ivies, The Old Mill with its Victorian terrace and sublime ‘art walk’ secret garden is one of the New Forest’s most alluring hotels. An attractive collection of rooms split between the original 17th-century building and the newer, accessibility-friendly Mill House offers a captivating amalgam of traditional country house charm and contemporary chic, but the suite with its romantic river and garden views, fireplace, and freestanding bath is a favourite.

Clear guidelines marking the new one-way system lead guests through the hotel’s corridors and inviting public spaces, while an enhanced cleaning repertoire and hand-sanitising stations ensure the hotel, its guests and staff remain Covid-safe.

Very little has changed in the spacious and elegantly-furnished dining room. Service is attentive and friendly, and the attractive menu, constructed from local New Forest produce, remains a highlight.
For added peace of mind, guests can book their table, view the menu, order and pay directly from their phones with the Upham Inns app.
