• "The most pleasant and cheery welcoming you could ask."

Cons:

• "Also, slow service since there’s only one woman managing everything upstairs."
• "The waitress could have been friendlier."
• "Service was slow and chaotic, food very overpriced at £15 for a breakfast which didn't even include all items as they were out."
• "We weren't even served. We were simply told, 'sorry we can't make any orders for you as we're fully booked.'"
• "Another gentleman, waiting to pay, was scowled at for having the nerve to pay by card."
• "It took over 20 minutes to get a menu (there were none for us get ourselves) and at least another 20 minutes for our order to be taken."

Food Quality

Pros:

• "Perfect little cafe as well with delicious halal food."
• "Unexpected gem. Popped in expecting the usual cake and coffee - which they had and they looked great."
• "We had the full English breakfast which was divine to say the least the egg Benedict was awesome too."
• "Cakes and chocolates are amazing too."
• "Everything that we ate here, from the full English breakfast to the chocolates to the afternoon tea was delicious."
• "Delicious halal afternoon tea."
• "The coronation chicken sandwich was delicious 😋."

Cons:

• "The chocolate cake was dry, powdery and borderline stale so I highly doubt was freshly homemade."
• "We wouldn’t have minded if the quality matched the price but the hot chocolate was nothing special."
• "Scones we were told would be 5-10 mins as they were not quite ready, only to have them served 5mins later, warm to touch but frozen on the inside!!!"
• "The vegetarian menu is incredibly overpriced considering it’s just a basic shakshuka."
• "The cheese was quite greasy as well."
• "Visited today with my mother and we had a millies steak baguette which arrived fairly quick however the steak on the sandwich was more like bacon which was a little disappointing."
• "The two cakes we had were only OK, not that great and the tea was just standard (Twinings) tea bags, no loose leaf tea."

Atmosphere & Location

Pros:

• "Beautiful tearoom near a beautiful scenic location and views amazing walks near by."
• "What a beautiful place to visit."
• "Very accessible from the main hiking trails."
• "It is such a beautiful tea room and bed and breakfast. And the homemade chocolates by Chocolatier, Steve are a bonus!"
• "This is a cute teahouse and B&B in a lovely little village. We stayed for 2 nights. I would say the b&b room was very simple but clean."
• "This is such a cute little B&B, perfect for a getaway to the picturesque village of Hayfield."
• "Millies is in a nice spot and the interior is rustic."

Cons:

• "The tea room looks nice and has a pleasant atmosphere, but I personally wouldn't rush to visit again."
• "Could hardly sit at my seat it was so small in there!"
• "Lacked professionalism, slow service and over crowded shop."
• "Selection of food and cake was negligible."
• "Patiently waited over 20 mins, whilst lady ignored us."
• "Two of the four staff members seemed stressed which changed the atmosphere in the cafe as they were banging plates and cups on the tables."
• "Unfortunately the prices were extortionate."

Accommodation

Pros:

• "The room was nice and clean and there was plenty of space to get the baby travel cot in."
• "Beds Nice bed linen with a woodland tree print in my room. The sheets are clean and free of stain, the bed frames are firm and not wobbly."

• "Very clean and cosy b&b."
• "A warm and welcoming bed and breakfast."
• "The room was so lovely, clean and comfortable."
• "We really enjoyed our stay at Millies."

Cons:

• "Beds were very uncomfortable, and it was very humid in the room throughout the night, despite all attempts to switch the radiator off."
• "Unfortunately, however, we were left disappointed with our stay at Millie's B&B - many lapses in communication, something most would consider professional incompetence from any accommodation establishment."
• "The only down point is the mattress for myself; I have a firm Hypnos at home and on first inspection I thought uh-oh this is going to be a bad night."
• "Could hardly sit at my seat it was so small in there!"
• "We also ordered scones for the family and staff were surprised at our request for cream and jam."
• "UNFORTUNATELY very DISAPPOINTED, heard lots of good things but had a very POOR experience, service TERRIBLE."
• "Our breakfasts were missing the veg pudding and staff did not communicate anything of the sort (professional curtesy?)."
