“The Mills Guesthouse emphasizes privacy, with each unit functioning almost as a small, self-contained apartment, and I appreciate that. The garden is a definite highlight, and the location is convenient for accessing both the university and nearby attractions such as Hatfield House. It strikes me as a practical choice, particularly for those who value quiet and independence.”

satisfactory stay overall

delicious breakfastconvenient locationnoisy fridgeuncomfortable mattress
i appreciated the room. it was situated very close to both the university and the town centre. the host made delicious breakfast delivered directly to my room (especially the coffee).
The room was noisy because of other guests. the fridge was also quite noisy. the bed mattress was quite uncomfortable. I could feel the springs.

quiet room near the university

quiet roadnice gardengood communicationprompt replies
i loved the garden just outside the room, it was easy to take the dog for a walk. the location was so quiet, a very nice road. communication from the host was good, i received prompt replies.
the bathroom window lacks privacy, i think it should be frosted. i had to keep the curtains closed for privacy, anybody in the garden could look straight into the bedroom!
