This is our third time staying in water mill cottages adjacent to the B&B. Alison & Lionel are perfect hosts. Nothing is too much trouble. Well equipped cottages that are exceptional in cleanliness & comfort. Perfect stay for anybody wishing to visit the beautiful northern county of Yorkshire.

We had a friendly welcome from Alison and Lionel and made to feel at home. Our bedroom was beautiful, very homely and spotlessly clean. Breakfast was wonderful, home made bread, and local produce. We would highly recommend a stay here and would love to go back sometime ourselves. We also met 2 couples who were renting the two cottages on... More

We plan to use this lovely B and B on any future trips to this part of Yorkshire, having stayed here in August to break our journey north. Lionel and Alison welcomed us with tea and homemade cake, delicious. Our room was spotlessly clean and very tastefully furnished as was the ensuite bathrooom. After a short walk around the pretty...

Another enjoyable stay at Watermill House. Walking over the threshold is like coming home. Always a warm welcome from Lionel and Alison, for whom nothing is too much trouble and whose knowledge of the area is invaluable. The room is delightful, spacious, the bed very comfortable, the bathroom sparkling. Breakfasts, locally sourced, are perfect - whatever your needs. Tea and... More

The location is so peaceful, in fact the quietness is "deafening". I was surrounded by marvelous hospitality and also a piece of local... More

A lovely location and a friendly welcome, very clean and well presented with a great breakfast. A tour of the Watermill is well worth it

I know I have remarked on this B&B before, but despite it appearing on TV as an integral part in the Big Bread Experiment it remains homely and charming, with Lionel and Alison playing host perfectly to their guests, serving up steaming pots of tea, delicious homemade cake (parkin on this visit), and locally sourced breakfasts each morning. If you... More

We've just returned from a weekend at Watermill House in the Yorkshire Dales booked as a Christmas present for us by our son and daughter as a base for a tour of the Black Sheep Brewery in nearby Masham. Little did they know that we'd previously stayed at Crakehall Watermill, albeit on the Caravan Club CL located in an idyllic... More

Alison & Lionel couldn't have made our stay with them any more perfect. They helped with planning our evening beforehand, gave us a very warm and genuine welcome and ensured everything we could possibly need was available. Our bedroom and bathroom were beautifully furnished and spotlessly clean and they have put a lot of thought into making sure that their... More
