Questions about The Oil Mill Guesthouse

What time is check-in and check-out at The Oil Mill Guesthouse?

Check-in is from 2:00 PM. Check-out is by 11:00 AM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.

Does The Oil Mill Guesthouse allow pets?

No — the property states that pets are not allowed.

Is there parking at The Oil Mill Guesthouse?

Parking is listed among the property's facilities. Whether it's free and whether a space can be reserved varies, so we check it against your dates rather than promise it here.

Does The Oil Mill Guesthouse have Wi-Fi?

Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.

Can I book a block of rooms at The Oil Mill Guesthouse?

The property lists meeting and banquet space, which usually means it handles group business — but how many rooms it will hold at once, for how long, and at what rate are set case by case and are not in any feed. Tell us the dates and the number of rooms and we'll get those terms from the property in writing before anything is charged.

Does The Oil Mill Guesthouse have wheelchair accessible rooms?

The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.

How do I book The Oil Mill Guesthouse?

Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
