We specifically chose a property with one so was disappointed when we found it not working properly. There isnât enough pans that can be used on the induction hob⦠several that donât work so could do with replacing. Luckily I had bought a couple of my own with pre cooked food in that worked so we used them all weekend. I also donât see the point in the upstairs kitchen⦠thereâs nothing to cook on! The space would be better used with a pool table or something similar.

The accommodation was really cosy and spacious inside, we loved all the fixtures and fittings. Would definitely recommend to others and book again.

As a group of 20 this house was very accommodating. The house was perfectly clean throughout with a well equipped kitchen. Even the garden area was immaculate. The bedrooms were very comfortable and considering the house is next to a main road there was no noise disruption. The seating areas throughout the house were cosy and the house is beautifully furnished. We can not fault our stay at Eden Mill and we would highly recommend it. We hope to be going back very soon.
