Our stay at the Water wheel was perfect. Staff very friendly and professional. Breakfast was beautiful. We have no hesitation in recommending Water wheel to other guests. Would gladly stay again.

Absolutely lovely place to stay. The cooked breakfast made to order was delicious and the hosts excellent. It also has a beautiful garden you can wander around. Bed was very comfy and location was excellent for what we needed it for. Would happily stay again!

Great location and staff The service provided by the staff was excellent and they were very friendly and accommodating. However, the room was very small and the front of the hotel was not very inviting in my opinion as there was rubbish like vacuum cleaner tools thrown across the parking area and overgrown vegetation. The place needs some attention to attract a wide range of customers.

They are unable to serve a meal which is all hot. The breakfast is stated to be freshly cooked. This is obviously not the case as half the breakfast is luke warm or cold. Other patrons agreed with this. I had two evening meals, one was hot but the vegetables on the other were cold. My complaint to the waitress was ignored. Anyone who stays here should be prepared for intrusive music being played during breakfast.

The staff were extremely lovely, the garden and dining areas were very pleasant. The room's water systems were a bit loud but manageable.

We enjoyed the amazing grounds and the food in the restaurant was lovely. The room was spacious and clean but the only thing that let it down was the bed. The memory foam matress had a big dip in it and was very uncomfortable. My husband didnt get a good night sleep as he couldnt get comfortable. The staff were informed the next morning and aaid they would deal with it.
