What visitors say

Polly Wainwright

Superb mill. Fabulous staff and so knowledgeable. Milling too, so plenty to see, hear and experience. Such an interesting place. Free entry. Carpark - no height barrier. There's the canal to walk nearby. Little cafe and gifts, flour etc for sale. Definitely worth a visit.

Really informative tour, was very unexpected and you can buy freshly ground flour. David was great with the information about the mill. Nice to see these places still working.

Mike at Navigation House in Sleaford recommended we visit the Watermill and we weren't disappointed. It's lovely to see such investment in heritage sites, however it is the warmth, knowledge and enthusiasm of guides who bring a place to life. Absolutely brilliant greeting at the Mill, demonstration of the hoist, working machinery and watermill. With a verbal history of the mill and it's products and great information board, we truly felt the pulse of the mill. At the end we popped into the little shop and cafe and tried the lovely freshly baked biscuits. Which washed down perfectly with a hot drink. Wonderful staff, thank you for a great visit.

Lovely place with free entry (leave a donation, it's run by knowledgable volunteers) a coffee shop and real history going back to 700 AD. The water wheel needs repairs so on milling days the millstones are turned by electric motor which is a pity but hopefully not permanent.
