Lovely hotel in a lovely setting. Staff were polite and breakfast was ok. Only small downside was no restaurant for a evening meal,but the White Horse pub across the road serves lovely food and you get a 10% discount when you show your room key.

Staff were very good, facilities in the room were good - the environment lovely with the WsterMill and the stream - good bed - good black out curtains - welcome water / enough tea for morning and evening - breakfast plentiful - but to tinned fruit - rather than fresh - not very inviting croissants - did not have cooked breakfast - we would stay again - pleasant modern design - welcoming staff!!!
