I think it has changed ownership since we moved to the area nearly 2 years ago and what they have done to the place is amazing. We have visited twice now in 2 weeks and it is looking like we will be back again next weekend. It is a lovely place, so peaceful with a great atmosphere, you could literally spend all day here. The food is perfect, the selection of drinks and cakes are spot on.
It is also dog friendly! We visited Saturday when the sun was out and as you can imagine everyone was out in force so it was busy but the staff dealt with it perfectly. There was a bit of a wait on food but we were told about it and we didn’t mind at all! The owners of this tea room really know what they’re doing and you can see that passion in the way they manage the place.
Would give it more stars, perfect! See you again very soon.
I was told about this place by a friend so decided to go with Milly our Labradoodle on a sunny Sunday afternoon . We were served by delightful staff who were friendly and polite . The food is all freshly made ,the menu good and the home made cakes were to die for ,I chose the toffee apple one which was truly scrumptious . Well so a visit and will definitely recommend it to others and will be going again very soon
I can not recommend enough. The staff go out of their way, the rooms are new and the beds really comfortable. The beer is spot on the the food was top drawer. Thanks to all. Coming back.

Beautiful tea room in a lovely setting. You get a warm friendly welcome the minute you walk through the door and all the staff go out of their way to help. The food is amazing too with delicious specials as well as a lush main menu and it is all presented fantastically. Definitely recommend this special little place.
Always a friendly welcome. Brilliant service. Beautiful space and the food is to die for. The cakes are exquisite. This is truly a hidden gem! Will be revisiting.
Love this place! Like a second home for us! Iona has created a warm homely environment with the best cakes ever!!!
We’re especially fond of the options for vegan and gluten free!
The chef is also very willing to adapt items on the menu to suit so its always worth asking if you can’t see what you want!
We had afternoon tea for 8 (plus 2 toddlers) and it was beautiful! Amazing food, excellent service, and really homely atmosphere, there was even a box of toys for the children. Would highly recommend the afternoon tea. I can't wait to go back!
A loverly quaint little place. Great selection of food. Very nice staff. I would recommend to anyone in the area.
Went for breakfast this morning and was very impressed. Lovely location and food also vegetarian options. Staff were friendly. Would definitely recommend.
Really nice place. Sat in the garden in the sunshine by the river. No children’s menu but really accommodating. Will definitely be going back.
Visit regularly, lovely location, friendly staff and the food is fantastic. Terrace over looking the river is a great place to be on a nice day! Highly recommended.
A beautiful tearoom..... lovely setting, great welcoming friendly staff, accommodating for children and the cakes are delicious! Can not recommend highly enough �
I visited The Water Mill with my partner last weekend for lunch and cake. I was originally sceptical as I had been over the summer when they had a reduced menu and I was not very impressed, but I am SO glad we came back. The food was delicious and particularly the cake was divine. We received a massive pot of tea for our money and the environment was cosy, warm, and welcoming. The restaurant was buzzing with barely any spare seats, which I think speaks for itself. Well done for a fabulous renovation - lovely!
Great food, very hospitable.
Warm, cosy, friendly place.
Had a lovely triple choc brownie and cappuccino and hubby a cream tea.
Delicious breakfast this morning with a teapot which gave me a generous couple of cups! Lovely, helpful staff and lovely tea rooms. Must come back in the warmer weather so we can enjoy sitting outside too :)
An incredibly warming and beautiful place to grab coffee, cake and a friendly service.
Iona and her team have transformed this tea house into something very special.
Thoroughly enjoyed my birthday breakfast here! Soya coffee and gluten free options were delicious. �
Food was delicious 🤤 I asked for my bacon extra crispy. It was so good. The mocha was legit 👌🏼 Staff was very nice and conversational. Checked up on us enough but not too much to be too much haha. Met the owner; she was so sweet and kind. I def recommend coming to this place.
Never been here before and will definitely be coming back. Fantastic location, but guessing parking could be a challenge at popular times. Tea and cake for 2 people at £9:50 is great value. The cake was homemade and delicious,. A pot of tea for 2 gave us 8 cups !!
Lovely warm welcome and a great old working building put to good use.
Really lovely tea room with plenty of seating. Hot day so I chose the Gazpacho and it was delicious. Staff plentiful and friendly. So glad I ignored the reviews on this site and explored for myself. I'll certainly visit regularly.
We went here for just coffee and cake. We sat outside by the river as it was a beautiful sunny day. The staff are nice and pleasant and the place itself is lovely. There are lots of choices of cake and too be quite honest it's hard to choose as they all look so delicious!! I had lime & coconut and it was lovely. Quite a few people had proper meals and everything that was bought out looked really good. Next time we go , we will give something else a try. Well worth a visit.
Great place for afternoon tea or coffee . Food and coffee served with our meal was outstanding. Amazing aosphere and location.
Had a brilliant afternoon tea at the tea rooms! Lovely selection of sandwiches and cakes, all really fresh and home made! Definitely recommend!
Everything we had was so good. The breakfast was so tasty and the coffee is amazing. The staff were very friendly.
A small note; only the sofa area and outside is dog friendly, so if you want a sit down meal on a cold day, It’s probably not the best place to go.
Also there isn’t much parking.
Apart from that I would definitely go back.
Loved the tea rooms and the food was very good , think the service systems could do with an upgrade ,but a great place for tea and cake . Nene valley way right next door.
