We loved how this hotel is built around an old water mill and how you are right by the overflow canal off the main canal. The staff were all extremely friendly. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/F5F25001190FBCC23E932CFAB4B9FF9007C1E1EF1732986081903.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/0E47103FFEC011BB9233074ED50B7A8EFA1486611732986081694.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Catherine Stayed 1 night in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Peter 4 Jul 2025 Very friendly .

The receptionist was lovely and the hotel staff very friendly. The bed was suprisingly comfortable and I slept well. ##### Neil Stayed 1 night in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jane 29 Dec 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The staff were all very helpful and I had everything I needed. Great position a short walk from the canal. Beautiful area. ##### Jane Stayed 1 night in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gillian 22 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness The hotel itself could do with some upgrading, rooms need a mini fridge and bar doesnt offer rhe widest drink selection, but there is a pub across the road to make up for this. The staff couldn't have been more helpful and welcoming and this definitely added to what was overall a very pleasant place to stay for one night. ##### Gillian Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Carole 28 Dec 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service The Watermill is an average hotel that offers a good service. ##### Carole Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Raquel 12 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities I wish I could give 10 stars to this hotel, especially the staff who go above and beyond to make us feel comfortable. Starting from arrival, we were welcomed with a massive smile at the front desk. I will be back at this hotel. Thnak you all. ##### Raquel Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Josephine 1 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service The hotel could do with updating. However, it was clean and comfortable. Staff were friendly and helpful. There are two excellent pubs across the road. ##### Josephine Stayed 1 night in May 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 2 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Nice stay but shower was lacking. Whilst the room showed signs that it had recently refurbished, the bed was comfortable, room was a nice size. The water pressure for the shower was lacking, the rain shower was more like drizzle. Overall an enjoyable stay, staff were friendly and accommodating, the setting was lovely and breakfast was plentiful. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Eirlys 21 Jan 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Staff very helpful and respectful at all times.
