The Water Mill at Bradbourne Reviews

William Lowe
7th January 2025
We were 11 adults & 4 children age 9 & under. The house is lovely with beautifully retained features of the original Watermill. The kitchen is well equipped with a huge dining table that could seat all of us. If I have a reservation, it would be that it isn’t particularly child friendly- lots of stairs & no real area indoors for them. We really enjoyed it though & Sophie was really helpful in the planning of our stay.

The Water Mill is an amazing location including the actual workings of the original water wheel. It surpassed every expectation that we thought it would be. There was everything that you could possibly need for a cottage holiday, and more besides. Both David and Sophie could not have been more helpful from the moment we booked it, to the day we left. It was just a shame we only had a weekend. Hopefully next time we will be able to have a full week to explore more of the surrounding area.
