Great location and food

Very comfortable hotel and breakfast was great - location wise very pretty overlooking the weir and pond. Be aware though that if there is very heavy rain some of the paths leading up to the hotel can flood but once you are over that it’s great. Staff were good as well can get busy at dinner time

Loved it

Very pretty pub with rooms in a gorgeous riverside setting. Accessed across two walkways across the river, the pub is cleverly designed and decorated, making the most of its watermill heritage. The staff are very friendly and keen to help. Our room was bigger than expected and well equipped, and supper in the conservatory overlooking the river was impressive. Breakfast too was perfect, the wonderful staff really adding to the experience. Well done team. You hit all the right spots.
