About
Egypt Mill in Nailsworth is a former mill, listed Grade II*, which the hotel calls a 16th-century mill. Historic England's listing describes 18th and early 19th-century rebuilding that takes in much older masonry, apparently medieval, and an eastern waterwheel from before 1820. It is now a hotel, pub, restaurant and events venue beside its mill pond and gardens, part of Honeycomb Houses.
The 28 bedrooms range from standard and classic doubles to superior rooms with king-size beds, family doubles for two adults and two children (a king bed and a sofa bed), and deluxe rooms with roll-top baths, super king beds and views of the mill garden. Mill pond and garden views in the other rooms depend on availability. Dog-friendly rooms come in every type but the standard double, at £20 a dog; tell the hotel before you book. Check-in is from 3pm and check-out by 11am. Guests park in the hotel's car park and enter their registration inside. Zap-Map lists two 22kW Type 2 chargers at the mill, on the pay-as-you-go VoltShare network.
The menu is British, seasonal and local. Breakfast is served every morning, from 7am on weekdays, and lunch and dinner follow through the day, with food until 9pm on weekdays, 9.30pm on Saturdays and 8pm on Sundays. The mill hosts weddings, parties and other events in its private spaces.
Minchinhampton Common is a short drive up the hill from the mill.
