The Old Mill serves a menu of classic ‘pub’ food and drinks from lunchtime through till late every day. There are three separate dining areas available to book for private celebrations. The inn is one mile from Junction 61 on the A1M, within easy access of the Northumberland Coast, Hadrian’s Wall and the many sights of Durham, such as the castle and iconic cathedral.

Reviewers say the rooms at the inn are ideal in their size and décor, with a neutral colour palette and tasteful furnishings that appeal to most and create a homey feel, and lots of space in both the bedrooms themselves and the en suite bathrooms.
The staff at this hotel are described as warm and friendly by almost every reviewer. The service is credited with creating a welcoming atmosphere that many point to as one of the best parts of this inn.
A small number of reviewers were somewhat dissatisfied with the shower in their room, with some comments that the showers are either not hot enough or not powerful enough. These comments are rare, however, and were not enough to detract from otherwise positive experiences at the inn.
Some older reviewers say the fact that the inn has no elevator created a challenge for them, as they found the stairs a little difficult, though staff were more than obliging in helping carry luggage upon arrival and departure.
On busy nights previous guests report that dining in the pub can be a somewhat chaotic experience.
