Old Mill Hotel

General information

The Old Mill Hotel is a 15th century building with features dating back to 1250. From its early ecclesiastical beginnings, it was transformed in the 16th century to a paper mill. The hotel is in the most tranquil location while the shopping and tourist district of Salisbury City centre is easily accessed via a beautiful 10 minute walk through Harnham Meadows.

Relax and soak up the atmosphere around you. Our excellent location makes us an ideal place to simply catch up with friends over a few drinks and enjoy a tasty meal from our extensive menu. Our bar is classic old English style with real beams, stone floor and open fireplace. The ambiance is enhanced by the low ceiling and atmospheric feel to this wonderful old pub. We serve a range of excellent real ales and are proud to hold the Cask Marque accreditation.

The restaurant is set in the oldest part of the hotel and sits above a mill run which is visible through a viewing panel. The pleasing rush of the waters and the large open fireplace make it one of the best places to enjoy traditional food that’s been freshly prepared by our chefs for your pleasure.
When the weather permits our restaurant and bar may be outdone by our fantastic garden setting for the best place to enjoy a cool beer, a glass of wine or a great meal.

The hotel is Grade 1 listed in parts and stands in a most peaceful and stunning location above 3 mill runs off the River Nadder. This really is a countryside escape, just a stone’s throw from the ancient city.

The rooms are accessed via a staircase in the newer part of the building, a mere 300 years old. This takes you to narrow corridors leading you to our 11 en-suite rooms set over three floors (no lift available, but of course we will be happy to help with luggage if you need it).

Once in your rooms we are sure you will find the views spectacular, whether it’s the Harnham Hills, the River Nadder or our fabulous gardens, set on either side of the mill run, where every seat has a waterside view! The hotel bar, restaurant and bedrooms will be undergoing refurbishment during October and November 2014 and the garden will be completed in March 2015. This is being done with the maximum respect for our existing visitors and will enhance this already great experience.
