    Very friendly welcome from Cassie and Mark. Our room with a view of the lake was comfortable and stylish with everything we needed. We had total peace and quiet plus the delightful sight of new-born lambs in the fields opposite our room. We also had use of a snug sitting room which we appreciated. We totally enjoyed our two nights stay and would recommend.

    slightly unclear where to greet the owner on arrival but this was because it was dark out.

    the mill was beautiful and the beds were really comfortable, the views of the lake in the morning and the sheep and lambs, owners, homemade breakfast and dinner was exceptional and highly recommended, definitely worth the stay and will come back again.

    Remarkable generosity of the owner. A thoroughly relaxing bedroom, with lashings of bath hot water.

    The location was rather out of the way. The nearest pub for a meal was miles away down narrow country lanes that were very potholed (not the owner's fault!). But if you like rural English scenery, with gently rolling green countryside, lambs bleating, and a total absence of city noise and pollution, this location is for you.

    A cooked breakfast was unavailable, regrettably, owing to the owner having to leave early for an overseas trip. But instead, my wife and I had full access to the kitchen area for fresh fruit, yoghurt, bread and drinks. Oh, and the home-made orange marmalade was top class. No charge. It felt as though we were staying at a self accommodated location.

    Can't think of anything we would want to improve.

    The location - it was bang in the middle of our long journey to Wales and was in a peaceful village with hardly any passing traffic or other noise. The bedroom was very comfortable and the hosts were especially kind, making sure we had everything we needed. The breakfast was excellent and kept us going all day!

    I can't say there was anything not to like.

    The building, area, and owners were all amazing. I originally booked a different room, but sent a message to let them know we were bringing our Labrador with us and they upgraded us to a bigger room free of charge so she would have more space, so that was amazing of them, and it was really nice to be in such a dog friendly venue. They were very accommodating and helped out with any questions.

    Would have liked a small cooking hob to go with the oven but that's easy to work round when you know. Plus we can BBQ every night!

    The location was beautiful and quiet. It was lovely to wake up and see the fields literally at the end of the bed, plus the nosey sheep. Location was brilliant with so many places to visit and walks to take. The hosts were second to none, so friendly and nothing was too much trouble for them. Plus the breakfast was not only huge but very delicious! Definitely returning to explore a bit more plus make use of the superb looking BBQ hut!

    The location was not suitable for us. We came by public transport. A car was needed to get out and about.

    We met Mark on arrival and he was absolutely lovely, a fab host. He offered to make us breakfast-to-go the next morning as we had an early start, and it was delicious. Our room was lovely and facilities were great. The view from the window was really beautiful.
