We have stayed at the Sawmills many times and keep coming back. It is in a beautiful location with great walks on the doorstep, the rooms are super comfy and it is great that there are dog friendly rooms. The breakfast is out of this world as are the Sunday lunches. Staff go out of their way to make you feel welcome. We’ll be back soon!
