    Lovely warm and friendly place. Amber was very welcoming and apologised for the access bridge to the property being underwater due to the flooded river. She offered us alternative parking which were fine. Our room was lovely as was the bed.

    Super quiet room overlooking the mill pond. Best full-English breakfast ever. Excellent staff. Superb cleanliness in room and public areas. Characterful bar/dining areas.
