This was our second stay at this B&B and we were pleased to find that it continued to deliver in terms of service and presentation. What could make it better? Newer, bigger towels and maybe more upmarket toiletries (Molton Brown or White Company perhaps), but really this is meant as feedback and not criticism. Anyway, a very pleasant visit. Thank... more

We turned up expecting great things and left a little disappointed. Maybe it was staying in other "luxury" B&Bs but we thought the quality could have been raised slightly - especially at £100 per night. The website is great but it does make the rooms look much bigger than they actually are and access up the windy stairs was an... more

The eponymous (stationery and badly neglected) waterwheel is actually attached to a building on the opposite side of a small stream. Car parking is a problem and is a short walk away in the village centre car park though you... more
