Fantastic location and a beautiful old building.
The bed was very comfortable.
Room was very (too) hot but there was a window.
The room was very small, not enough space to store baggage, clothing or toiletries - a few hangars on a hook on the wall.
Not enough tea bags!
Loose tiles and black mould in the bathroom and again- nowhere to put anything.
The food was passable, breakfast was ok, overcooked if I’m being picky..(hard eggs & dry bacon)
Note to chef-the sourdough was very underproofed!
We stayed for Sunday lunch, it’s clearly popular for this as the place was booked out. It was ok- great Yorkshires! Cheats crackling, but good to have it
The cheese plate my brother in law had was exceptional.
Tasty coffee.
Staff were very friendly. They did well to keep their heads with a rude awkward customer next to us at lunch.
On the whole there were no major disappointments or let downs so I’d call it a win!
Anyone over 5’6” be warned there are multiple opportunities to knock yourself out walking into the various low beams!
While there are plenty of warnings and one beam is padded- we both missed that one!
The room was OK, with a comfortable bed and decent shower. The downside was a slight smell of damp in the room, inadequate slope on the shower floor so the water spread to the sink area, no view from the window.
For a business stay, a 9am start for breakfast doesn't really work.
It was ok for 1 night stay. Not very user friendly with slippery steps up to reception & down (outside) to rooms. The room was warm & comfortable, attractively decorated & cosy but in summer would be claustrophobic ( for me anyway). No view & frosted windows. Staff didn’t seem particularly pleasant. Hobnail boots clumping along the corridor at 8.30. Room was noisy until 11 - situated under the restaurant- hence no breakfast service until after 9am
Restaurant has a nice outlook but closes for food at 1900.Breakfast 0900-1100 only and wont put out any food early or to your room so dont expect breakfast if your flight from Gatwick leaves before1300. Rooms small and dark, airport and cortidor noise+. Small double bed. Very large towels.
The Wiremill was the perfect location for us travelling from Gatwick on an early morning flight and the staff were welcoming after a long car journey. We had a long wait at the bar to get food and drinks. The food wasn’t great and the fish and chips were very greasy. In the room we stayed in, the rainfall shower didn’t work and it smelt of damp. Whilst there, we also found several silverfish bugs in the bedding. Hopefully these issues can be rectified for future stays.

Smart, cozy room, nice size bathroom, clean and comfortable
I was rather concerned what I would find after reading some of the reviews but was pleasantly surprised at how good it was and will definitely stay again. The room was clean, well decorated and comfortable and more than sufficient for myself and my dog. Parking was close by and walks around the lake and across the fields available directly.
A beautifully decorated room, really warm and cosy. The bed was super comfortable and the shower was excellent. I'd definitely stay again if I had the chance.
A really disappointing stay. Obviously leaning on the fact it overlooks a lake (don’t be seduced by this) it felt like the inn didn’t really have to try. The view from the tiny window (which had a blind that couldn’t be raised and opaque stickers covering it, was non existent, covered in scaffolding. The room was small and dark. Little details seemed to be missing: no bin, no where to store clothes, no table, no offer of sugar with coffee, no ‘did you have a nice stay?’ when checking out. Breakfast was small (including one sausage and half a tomato). You couldn’t even walk round the lake as it was private.
I didn’t feel cared for and felt almost like an inconvenience.
On the plus side, the bed was comfy, the shower superb and the food good. But if you’re looking for a restorative stay forget it. If you simply need somewhere to lay your head for the night while you’re doing something else I guess this will fit the bill. But for a nice break away I’d choose somewhere else.
