Loved this place! Beautiful surroundings and everything was new, clean and well designed in the room. Very quiet rooms with separate entrances and river views.

I tried to book and it's full of illegal immigrants. Apparently its child friendly too. I don't think so.

Tidy enough rooms, although quite dated. Poor service at Bar and Restaurant so decided to eat and drink at other establishments nearby. Was suitable accommodation for a night or two in order to visit some nearby attractions.

Didn't sleep well as they located me next to the running stream. hence why it's called the watermill. At least give me a room away from the noise and better double glazing. In desperate need of a refurb and that hairdryer must be the oldest in the UK. Breakfast was nice. Staff polite and welcoming.

Room was nice a good size and warm, the bed was comfy and the breakfast was good, but there were problems. 1. The bedroom windows were so poorly fitted you could hear every car that drove past (the noise level was the same when the window was open) 2. The room wasn't all that clean, there were cobwebs and spiders everywhere, and the toilet seat was quite stained. 3. All the members of staff spoke really quietly and we couldn't hear what they were saying half the time (and it didn't seem like they were listening most of the time)

Having read reviews of this hotel before my stay I was a little apprehensive about the stay. I have to say I was pleasantly surprised. Check-in was swift, the room was clean and tidy and had all the amenities I expected. I bed was comfy. What did let the hotel down was the standard of the cooked breakfast the following morning. Dry and shriveled bacon and sausage, although halfway through the meal the chef did come out and offer to cook fresh items. An ok stay.

Stopped here a few times for a regular work trip. Overall i would recommend the hotel. The bar is only small but that has its positives, there weren't a lot of people and you get served quick. Beer was good. Didnt eat here although a lot of people were, and the food looked good. It also has quite a nice decking area overlooking the stream/river that comes in and used to power the water wheel i believe.

Reason for 3 stars is that we had quite a hard time checking in and out with the staff seeming to struggle with they systems and/or not knowing what they were doing with them. Took several attempts and a few back and forth to reception to get a key card that worked.
