The Mill House Hotel & Restaurant

The Mill House Hotel is conveniently situated in the ancient village of Swallowfield, near Reading, and offers superb hospitality. The Georgian building dates back to 1823 and is run under the personal direction of, Mark & Kim Pybus. After careful restoration to its former Georgian glory, keeping the original design of high cielings and large spacious rooms individually decorated with en-suite bathroom/ shower and all the expected facilities, the Mill House lent itself naturally to become a renowned and fashionable restaurant and hotel whose charm and character is much in evidence

      an unforgetable day
      Many, many thanks to you both and all your staff for providing such a wonderful reception for Rachael and Richard and their guests on Saturday. Everyone we have spoken to is still reflecting on a fantastic day and your contribution in making everything so special is very much appreciated. Sincere thanks for looking after us all, throughout our time with you and for helping the event go so smoothly, not only on the day itself but in all the preparations leading up to an unforgetable day. Both Keith and I are very grateful to you both for all you have done

      just relax and enjoy the day
      We wanted to say a really big thank you to you both for making our wedding day so special. It meant a lot to have our reception at The Mill House and we were both able to just relax and enjoy the day, knowing everything would be taken care of and run smoothly. We had so many compliments, not only on the day but since about how wonderful the food was and beautiful the venue is. The Mill House was always special to me but will nowforever be a very special place for us as a couple.

      So very special
      We would like to thank the Mill House for making our daughter's wedding day so very special. We know how hard they must have worked and it all payed off. Everyone had nothing but compliments. We would like to thanks the chef for all the catering, it must be difficult to provide such an excellent spread for 100 guests. The food was hot for the main course and very well presented. The hog roast in the evening was great, we couldn't fault anything.

      fantasic day
      Just wanted to thank you to the Mill House for the fantasic day on Friday. It was very well organised & we didn't have to worry about a thing. Had great feedback from everyone about the whole evening, it's just a shame it went so quick! Once again many thanks to the Mill House for all their hard work into making the day so special for us.

      a triumph of perfect service
      When Sheila and I decided to look for a suitable venue for our wedding we considered quite a few different places – some grand some not so grand. From the outset the welcome you gave us stood out over and above anyone else. Perhaps it is because you run a family business or maybe you just “get it” but from the moment we met you we knew you two had what it took to make a success. Throughout the planning process your feedback was good and constructive but above all professional. When we had a small glitch towards the end and, indeed, on the day (guests arriving an hour earlier than expected) you took it in your stride and dealt with it perfectly. The day itself was a triumph of perfect service, very good food and attentive but not intrusive staff at all times. I would like to single Mark out for making a nervous groom’s life very easy with his reassurance and attention to detail. You will hopefully be pleased to hear that we have had many, many comments from our guests about how fantastic the venue was and how perfect the food and service was. In fact some family from Belgium are hoping to come and stay later in the year because they enjoyed themselves so much. In short we found nothing to criticize and everything to praise; you were an instrumental part in making our day perfect and we cannot thank you enough. Please feel free to use this letter in whole or in part by way of testimonial and please extend our thanks to your team who were, without exception, wonderful.

      FANTASTIC EVENT
      We'd like to say a huge thank you to Mark & Kim, their staff and wedding suppliers for making our wedding day such a fantastic event. Thanks to their superb organisation the day went brilliantly and we have had many compliments from our guests. The food & drink were excellent with the fish & chips proving to be a popular choice.

      The Hotel was stunning
      We want to say a big thank you to the Mill House for making our wedding day so fantastic. We had the best day and this was achieved through all of their hard work. The whole day ran smoothly and if there were any glitches, we were not aware, which shows how professional they are. Everybody had nothing but praise for the guys there and thought the hotel was stunning. The food was excellent and all those that had it were very impressed by the Beef Wellington. We thank the chef and his team. A big thank you and we look forward to returning in the near future.
