The Mill Inn

They have done a great job with converting this old mill into some new uses and the rooms are no exception. Our room was very spacious. The internet worked great and was much appreciated, as we'd been off the grid for the previous three nights. As you may notice from other reviews, there is a contactless check in system that is totally dependent on receiving the door codes via an email, right at check in time. Don't expect to check in early. We had a little confusion over whether or not our deposit was properly process, but were able to promptly resolve that with a quick email response to our inquiry. They patio outside the cafe is a lovely place to either have breakfast from the cafe or eat your take out from another restaurant.

We didnt stay over but ate lunch in the mill cafe. It has excellent views over the river and we found the service prompt and friendly. The atmosphere was relaxed and the food very good, in particular the soups and quesadillas. Perhaps other reviewers visited on a busy day, but we found it a great place for a light lunch.

They were busy. But that doesn't excuse a wait time of an hour from ordering to delivery to table. 3 toasted cheese sandwiches. When they eventually arrived, there was hardly any cheese in the sandwiches and they were all cold. After such a long wait we weren't prepared to complain and risk another hour long wait. The cafe has a nice ambience and decor but poor service and food.

I actually like this inn. The rooms are nicely decorated, have a microwave and mini refrigerator. They are very clean and bedding is comfortable. However, the check in process is awful. Both times I stayed, I never received an email nor did I get any check in email. The first stay, I was able to connect with a person by calling the number on the door. The second time, no email with codes. I sent several emails and left several messages asking to be given the codes. No one ever got back to me. Our business has a vendor book there and ended up having to travel 45 miles to Bangor for a hotel because he never got an email with his codes and no one was calling back. This is ridiculous. I will not be staying there again and we will be recommending different accommodations to any of our vendors.

The Mill itself is fantastic--beautifully laid out, with interesting decor, and great views (in the corner room). However, we were pretty miserable comfort-wise because the geothermal heat pumps would not work and the room never got above 60 degrees. The Mill needs to consider a better heating option for the cold winter months because the heat pumps were not enough, and neither was the one electric wall unit, especially for rooms with such large ceilings. The cafe, where we had breakfast (in the same building), also suffered from poor heating. Please consider alternative heating options!! We won't be returning in the wintertime but will definitely consider summer time visits.

As soon as you walk in the smell of a clean facility greets you. Our room was supplied with the most gorgeous, soft, plush blankets to wrap in after a chilly day soaking in Maine Winter. We made hot drinks (complimentary coffee and tea in our rooms) We had ordered a birthday cake through the cafe downstairs to be waiting to surprise one family member. Not only was it the most delicious chocolate cake to ever hit our tastebuds but the site of this masterfully prepared cake offered up just the birthday surprise we were hoping for. The exposed bricks, the beams, the view of the river and dam right outside our window, all are a beautiful nod to the days when the building was a woolen mill…all while soaking in the comforts of modern day. There is an amenity closet down the hall that you can access anytime so that you can get what you need, when you need it. In the morning, we simply walked downstairs to the Cafe to be served the most delicious meal. Prices are lower than the price points from our hometown area and much appreciated. Comfortable seating and plants throughout the Cafe are a welcome site especially in the depths of a long Winter. Wishing our hometown had something of this caliber.

We had a very good experience here! There was an error of some kind and we had to stay in a different room than planned, but it was an upgrade so we didn't mind at all. They also made sure to send us all the check in info well before we needed it. You can check in at any time here, which is very convenient. They also provide a phone number in case you need anything, though we never had to use it. As for the room, it was very spacious, well decorated, and had everything we needed! Very glad we decided to stay here and will definitely stay again if we are in the area! :)

We received a great welcome from host Brenda and really enjoyed the brunch offering with a slight Mexican twist whilst enjoying the views across the river at Dover Foxcroft. Brenda told us about her time in Californian which inspired her menu. Apparently, she has just returned from Italy and is also offering a range of interesting events including Olive Oil Tasting! It sound wonderful and I think that maybe we need to spend a little more time at The Mill Cafe. Thanks guys for a lovely brunch and a great welcome 👍

What a great food venue for Dover Foxcroft. We had a fantastic Sunday brunch with the best coffee I’ve had outside of Europe. Wonderful service in a very relaxed atmosphere where the customer truly does come first. I can’t recommend this place highly enough as it really does pull out all the stops to look after you!
