Friendly on arrival, agressive in sell of drink and food, which is overpriced, but cooked well, thank you to the chef. Cold and calculated service, which is not expected in a country pub. Shame! Check your room for functioning, the owners take defensive if something is broken or not working and willing to rectify without entusiasm. I am definitely not... More

We misjudged the weather on a very long cycle trip and knocked on the door before opening time. We were soaked through and extremely cold. The manager not only opened the door but welcomed us in, made us lashings of hot coffee and immediately stoked up the wonderful great open fire for us to steam off in front of. Not... More

The Mill Arms has recently changed the menu to more of a grill menu ("Grill at the Mill") and offers different sized steaks from all the usual cuts. The steaks we had recently were top notch and cooked perfectly - the food's always been good here and they've kept it a cut above with the latest menu. Lovely historic pub... More

Our Wedding anniversary and we decided to go to the Southampton Boat Show and as we wanted to avoid the hassle of driving into the city we surfed the web to find somewhere to stay with easy transit into Southampton. The Mill Arms is a perfect location as it is opposite Mottisfont & Durbridge train station with trains running every... More

Having spent the week in truly luxurious accommodation on the Isle of Wight, we wanted to extend our stay on the way home. Having seen the reviews of the Mill Arms we booked one of the last remaining rooms, which although expensive at £70 we hoped would be a nice way to end our holiday. Unfortunately we got room 1...

The problems were dismissed with a comment along the lines of "these things happen" and the only compensation offered was... More

Went to The Mill Arms with family for a Saturday lunchtime Brithday Party for my 80 year old aunt. The welcome was warm and nothing was too much trouble. The staff were helpful and solicitous and, although the menue is not extensive, they made up something from what was avalaible for my aunt. The chef even put a candle and... More

The Mill Arms is 5 minutes drive from Mottisfont (National Trust) in the heart of the beautiful Test Valley. A pleasant country pub, serving Ringwood bitter (among other real ales), with very good home cooked food. I had crab cakes (the best I've had - moist and served with a crab sauce) while my wife had a vegetarian tart, again... More

Having enjoyed a meal at the Mill Arms before Christmas, I thought it would be the perfect place to take a group of friends for Sunday lunch, after taking advantage of the beautiful surroundings to have a walk and work up our appetites. We lost our way on the walk, but powered on motivated by thoughts of ice cold beers... More
