1st time visit, found this place by accident, Oh my set in beautiful surroundings, so calm and peaceful listening to the water run by.Sat and watched a Kingfisher diving for fish.I will be visiting again when back in the area.This place has an indoor area, outside area, and a small balcony area, all of which would be pleasant to be seated in.There is a small area of sanded beach at the side where you can access the water, but not recommended for swimming probably more for dogs to have fun.I would recommend a visit.

What a nice scenic place we had lemon drizzle cake and coffee when over this way again will definitely be

It was not very good on the day I dined there. Might be a nice place to sit outside in the summer. But in early March, not so much. Was happy to forget that, but there was not enough staff and the coffee was poor and the buns were dry. So not for me.

2 of us called in for a meal after walking our dogs. We both ordered a breakfast. Sausage was luke warm, mushrooms were stone cold. The young lad serving brought 2 slices of toast 3 pats of butter and 1 pat of marmalade all on the same plate for 2 people to share. The coffee was out of a coffee machine, awful. Would be better serving instant coffee than that. No access for the disabled to the cafe but plenty of seating out side. My partner who has a disability scooter had a problem getting out of the lido because 2 vehicles had parked over the footpath blocking the entrance. Luckily a young man at the bus stop helped push him and his scooter onto the grass so he could get out. All in all a real shame the watermill is in a great location and could be a fantastic venue but it just isn't.

Beautiful setting. Long wait for disappointing food. So many dirty pots on tables and piled up in the cafe. Doesn’t seem the same as it used to be a couple of years ago Very disappointed

Been in today, and ordered 2 ploughman's which were amazing and 2 large breakfasts. To me the breakfasts were not large (if I ordered a normal one, I would be wasting away). The pot of tea came out at the very least 15 mins before the toast, and the breakfasts came out nearly 15 mins after that. One one of the breakfasts there was no tomato, on the other there was no hash brown, to be told later they'd run out (we should of been told that straight away, but we had to ask). IF I come again, I would expect everything to come out at the same time instead of a 30 minutes gap between everything. I am not blaming the waiting staff one bit, it's the kitchen staff who need to up their game.

Stopped here as it was half way on our walk. It was raining but we managed to get a table under the outside covered area. Bit confusing as you have to order at a window but because it was raining I went inside and asked a young man if I could order. He said I needed to go outside to the window to order. So I did. However it turns out that he didn't mention to anyone that I was there waiting to order! A few minutes later a woman appeared at the window and apologized that she didn't know I was there. I ordered a latte, scone and toasted teacake and went back to my table. After a long time the latte came (which was good but the smallest latte glass I've ever seen) A while later the toasted teacake appeared (which was standard) and I asked about the scone which I was told was coming (no idea why they didn't bring it with the teacake?) Another while later and the scone appeared. It was quite small and was slightly warm on the outside but it was cold on the inside (like it had just come out of the fridge?) I opted to have jam and cream with the scone. For £1.10 extra I expected real cream so getting a small plastic pot with squirty cream is not just a rip off but really not what you expect with a scone. The staff were all very nice but the whole thing just seemed very disorganized and slow. There were only a few other people sitting inside while we were there so no idea why it took so long for everything to arrive? Might stop here again for drinks in future as the coffee was nice, but we need to make sure we've got plenty of spare time!

Been to the Watermill today, would highly recommend this hidden gem. Home cooked food and portions excellent, loverly staff who gave attentive service. Will certainly visit again.

A friend treated me to afternoon tea at this cafe. The setting is idyllic, and it was a lovely experience. The staff were polite and efficient, and the food was not only delicious, but also good value for money. We ended up bringing a lot of the cakes home. Strongly recommended and on a sunny day, unbeatable. Even had it been raining, and we had been indoors, it would have been worth it for the actual food, and the ever present sound of the weirs. thank you.

Good service and friendly and a nice view over the river ?.
Nice little place. Food is good. Location is lovely. Very quirky little cottage type building. Has steep steps to the entrance to get served. Dog friendly but keep them on a lead as there is wildlife in close proximity.
Carol Wills
Very nice surroundings. Did not eat but good coffee and service.

See my below review following which the owner Rachel messaged me apologised that her trainee had made mistakes and invited us back . We came back today and true to her word she made us 2 of the best milkshakes we have ever had see my photos. Really really lovelyMy initial review- Expensive for a carton of orange and smallest milkshake for nearly £4 won't be coming again

Nice little cafe for a coffee and cake stop. Lovely views on a sunny day.

Lovely cafe, good choice of food and lovely coffee. Staff are friendly. If you can, sit upstairs where you can have a beautiful view of the river.
