Room was dated. Bed covers had some sort of old make up stain. Same with one of the towels. Wife found fake eyelashes in one of the bedside drawers. Hotel was in a nice location. Great pub across the road

Very friendly staff, lovely room and fantastic breakfast
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!!!

A pleasant stay in a lovely big room. Very clean in room and comfortable. The communual are looked tatty, particularly the brown carpet which needs replacing.
Breakfast was ok but a bit cold.
Very comfortable accommodation and relatively close to Berhamstead. Good gastro pub opposite hotel so it works very well for us visiting relatives and friends in Berkho.

Hotel has the potential to be beautiful with its own water mill, but really needs updating. Decent breakfast. Quiet location.
We had a lovely overnight stay. 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.

Lovely staff … very welcoming… beautiful serene area. The pub across offers great food. The wifi didn’t work as well as i hoped.
Lovely property for our stay, staff were lovely especially Shawn. Only stopped here to break up my journey home. Nice Pub/restaurants just across the road in a nice location

Arrived late in the evening and found there still to be parking available - and the parking area felt very safe. Once checked in the hotel staff showed us to our room and explained where everything was in the room and where and when breakfast was served. The room was slightly dated but clean and there was tea/coffee and biscuits in the room. Staff were all lovely and we enjoyed our stay.
