Quy Mill Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent
"The Mill The staff are friendly and very professional We like that we had access to the spa at no extra cost. We didn't make use of the restaurant on this visit. But we like what they had on the menu. The room we had, was very clean and spacious. All in all, we will be back for another visit."
