We simply had the best time in this beautiful, well appointed house. We didn't want for anything and Jane (the owner) was wonderful, before during AND after our visit. A lovely property in a fabulous location. We hope to return sometime. Thank you.

We enjoyed a wonderful weeks stay at The Old Watermill. It was so lovely to see that the original mill's workings are still in the property. The kitchen/dining room and the lounge are very spacious. The owner Jane was very welcoming and friendly and we really enjoyed the welcome items she left for us. The location was very handy for visiting many Read moregreat Wiltshire locations. Hide
