We had been allocated a ground floor room and as my wife is a late sleeper the staff accommodated our request for a quieter room. We stayed in room 5 which is a lovely family room with a king size and two roomy bunk beds. We loved the room and the view of the church. The church bells chime every hour even throughout the night so close your windows.
The shower in the room was excellent, powerful if required and always with hot water. The staff were great and very friendly.
The best thing about the Mill House was the breakfast. There were many non-resident groups of families queueing for the breakfast but the hotel reserved tables for guests do we were immediately seated. The quality of the food was superb.
Our impression of the hotel was it was quintessentially English from a time gone by in the best sense. The local area was really great as well and completely different to our expectations. We would definitely stay again. Thank you Mill House Hotel

There was another door which had a sign on it which included the words "do not enter" but there was now a lady present who tried to encourage us in through this door. I pointed out that it specifically said not to enter there and we continued to walk round to the main entrance, past a further door which is clearly permanently closed and finally we were in the building. Here we were quickly met by the lady we had seen momentarily on our way in and I asked if it was possible we could have lunch for two. She was very welcoming and pointed into the restaurant and said we could sit anywhere we wished. She was correct as there were no other customers there. At this point I realised that neither she or the gentleman that had spoken to us earlier were wearing face coverings of any kind. We sat down and shortly afterwards were presented with the menus. We were about to be asked for our contact details and as we were the lady apologised for 'the nonsense' and said 'and of course the virus doesn't even come out after 10 o'clock' to which I said I insist they have our details and enquired where their QR code was being displayed. The lady seemed surprised that I was keen to register but did then show me to a code on the wall which I then used. Most places I have been to recently would either already have a code available on the table or would bring a mobile version to you rather than expect their guests to be moving around the premises any more than they absolutely need to. We ordered two drinks and two main courses being bangers and mash, peas and gravy for my brother and chicken and ham pie, chips and peas for myself. The food took about 40 minutes to arrive during which I did check out the reviews on Tripadvisor which mentioned that the food could take some time but it would be fresh and good. When ours arrived, my brothers looked okay and he ate it. Mine didn't look too good. The pie was mainly a pile of broken pastry under which I found some very dry chicken and a few other pieces of filling. The chips were warm and soggy, like they had perhaps been heated up from frozen but on an oven that was not hot enough. My peas were fine. My brother finished his meal and I ate what I could. I was hungry and by now it was too late to get anything from another venue. I paid and we left. During our time in the building which I would estimate at about 75 minutes we saw three or four staff but no residents or other customers. At no time did we see anyone wearing any sort of face covering. I do not think this venue is taking the Coronavirus situation at all seriously, certainly not at lunchtime with non-resident diners. This alone would be enough to prevent me from returning while the pandemic persists but the attitude of the staff along with the very poor quality of a simple dish after such a long wait is really not something I ever wish to repeat.

The food is good, wholesome and good size portions which I more than appreciated. I found other Staff really friendly as well especially Rachel who greeted as when we arrived. The Hotel is a little isolated but that is definitely an advantage, you can take a walk into Maldon, through beautiful Countryside passing rivers and locks which will take you around an hour or drive in ten minutes. The room was so cosy and the bed really comfortable. They have a Bar which is well stocked and reasonably priced. You can see the passion they have for their Hotel and their Guests, this was definitely felt with the other guests too. I see this Hotel as a Gem in Maldon and one definitely worth a visit.

the saving grace of the hotel was the food - it was good.
manager did a lot of shouting at staff and i felt sorry for them - i have been in the catering business myself and shouting is not the best way to behave.
the building and location is lovely but the hotel itself is left to run down and not cared about. sad. could be beautiful at little cost. More
