It’s a picture perfect scene. Swans glide past a whitewashed mill, nestled on the riverbank by an ancient bridge, framed by weeping willows. Lush green water-meadows stretch as far as the eye can see. Welcome to The Mill Hotel, a beautifully converted watermill in the quintessential country town of Sudbury, Suffolk.
History and modernity meet here, with soothing, contemporary interiors complementing the mill’s original features, among them the waterwheel itself – an atmospheric centerpiece in the restaurant and relaxing bar. Within minutes of the hotel, picturesque villages dot some of England’s loveliest countryside in scenes made famous by romantic artist John Constable. Isn’t it time you put yourself in the picture?
Savour The Mill’s mouthwatering food and you’ll see why we’ve been awarded an AA Rosette for culinary excellence for the past three years. Locally sourced produce contributes to a best of British menu surpassed only by the beauty of the surroundings, while the original waterwheel in the Restaurant emanates rustic charm. The terrace’s heated canopy invites al fresco dining even on chillier evenings.
