Small but excellent!! I had a small but very comfortable room at the Waterwheel. The bed was roomy for a single person and the shower was excellent. Staff couldn’t have been more friendly and helpful and the meals were good. This is a well run hotel and very good value for money.

The bed and breakfast we have no complaints. If you drink from the bar or have dinner, it does cost quite a bit, but the dinner is well made.
