Comment Tripadvisor gère les avis
Avant d'être publié, chaque avis sur Tripadvisor passe par un système de suivi automatisé qui collecte des informations pour répondre aux questions suivantes : comment, quoi, où et quand. Si le système détecte des éléments allant à l'encontre du règlement de notre communauté, l'avis n'est pas mis en ligne.
Quand le système détecte un problème, l'avis peut être rejeté automatiquement, envoyé au contributeur pour validation ou transmis pour examen manuel à notre équipe de spécialistes de contenu, qui travaille 24 h/24 et 7 jours sur 7 pour préserver la qualité des avis sur notre site.
Notre équipe vérifie chaque avis publié sur le site signalé comme allant à l'encontre du règlement de notre communauté.

A nice quirky little antiques and small store shopping area, that includes a great little cafe with good food and fast service

Some nice bits in the shops but cafe needs to change operations as coffee was cold by the time it was served and managed to pay. Sausage and caramelized onion panini was like warm and onions not cooked enough.

My wife and I generally enjoy visiting this place as it is very quirky. I like the 2nd hand vinyl store and my wife likes candles and melts etc. It is really nice inside with a wide variety of shops including a fishing tackle shop and a model shop among many others. However, it does have a couple of SERIOUS issues that it needs to sort out.
1. The approach road is dangerous. One wrong move and you could get a puncture or snap a coil spring from going into one of the many deep potholes, including a huge one about a metre across when you enter the car parking area.
2. The mens toilets are a disgrace. They absolutely reek of urine, they are dark and dingy with a very small pace that is not even fit for for 1 person but there is also a urinal squeezed in. The walls are wet and have mould, the whole toilet looks like the inside of a condemned building to be honest.
They really need a rethink and should consider a new purpose built outbuilding with facilities that are fit for the 21st century (And humans).

The main review is afternoon tea.
What an amazing experience we had I booked for my husband’s birthday.
Service was fantastic
Delicious delights, even the waiter singing happy birthday was marvellous
Looked at reviews on here after and was appalled and reading negative comments. Having worked in hospitality myself and I know what it’s like to work under pressure at such busy times, if you don’t have time to wait don’t go at peak times!!
Remember we are all human!!
Will definitely return. Thank you

An interesting site with an eclectic mix of outlets so well worth a browse. Also runs special events, summer schemes and Christmas feature. Coffee shop is often busy but service is good and offers a range of meals and cakes. Freshly made scones are very good - would recommend.

Plenty of parking and an interesting site with plenty of options for tea and coffee. A bit cramped but a lot of things to see at the various outlets of the main corridor like small shops of a street. Worth a visit.

Me and my partner decided to book an afternoon tea at the Olde Watermill after hearing many good things about the place, we wasn’t disappointed it was all of a high standard and well presented, I then managed to drag my other half round the complex and found some lovely independent sellers from plants to gifts everyone was very friendly, I am returning next week and bringing my mum as I know she’d love 😊 see you soon

AVOID Very unprofessional !
We arrived for our daughters 10th birthday party celebration (2 sets of grandparents whom are elderly were included in the numbers) we drove from Hitchin which is approx 32 miles round trip, to enjoy a round of crazy golf , which was being advertised on their website as open and not only that they had a massive banner right outside the watermill by the entrance door. Well when we arrived to our surprise the crazy golf was shut !
I spoke to 4 members of staff whom didn’t know why it was shut, how long it will be shut for & we’re told by management to put the banner up even though this was false advertising ! As you can imagine I was appalled with the poor customer service & false advertising which caused my daughter’s upset on her birthday plus 3 drivers , 2 whom were elderly a waste in fuel costs plus their actual time. When I emailed in my complaint I go a very short reply back with a simple apology & how they’ve rectified the problem. I then sent 3 emails back with regards to how I did not think their email was replied back with care or support for their regular customers and how disappointed we all were with their mistake etc
Well all 3 emails were ignored !
How very unprofessional and rude.
I have now told all my friends & family what has happened this week & to avoid the Olde watermill in Barton. Poor customer care indeed !!

What is there for kids to do at the mill. There used to be a good tractor play area and a promise of an indoor play area ... But the last two times we were there the tractor area was not there and there was no sun of an indoor play area. Is the craft hut still there. If not are there any new kids facilities... Tracey

There is now a poppets play area with facilities for parents to sit and watch the kids play and enjoy a hot or cold drink

Doesnt the food hygiene certificate have to be displayed by law in the restaurant?
After today's meal and the overall shabby (and not chic) appearance of the place I am not surprised to see a 2* "requires improvement" rating!

Hi there, Am happy to answer a question but am not quite sure what the question is? Yes the rating has to be displayed but you must have seen it on display to have the knowledge that it is a 2* rating?... More than happy to answer anything else you require.

I have nothing whatsoever to do with the running of this place. I merely visited it. The only person who can answer your query is the management

Hello,
Are small well behaved dogs allowed to visit? I am planning a visit in the next week and will have to bring her with me but planning on eating here too as well as looking in the shops, happy to sit outside with her if there is an area but if it's raining then would not be enjoyable.
Thanks in advance

Personally I would give them a ring easy to get thro ! listen to the recording and press for restaurant they do answer quickly!!! The shops are also undercover but I would say more 'inside' type cover. I hope that you do go and enjoy your visit.
