Claythorpe Watermill

£8 for 1 years adult entry to the animals more then worth it , such a beautiful place , with beautiful food and friendly staff , looking forward to trying the pizza night soon

Situated in a great location, excellent catering, possibly the finest ploughman's lunch ever, with friendly staff.
Lovely atmosphere, plenty of wildlife and a lovely experience overall.
Will definitely be back.

Lovely little tranquil place! Really relaxing atmosphere. £4.50 per adult to walk around and see their animals which we enjoyed (the very cute guinea pigs was my fave) and they have a fabulous menu to choose from (breakfast/lunch) which is very reasonably priced for how nice it is. Lovely friendly staff and quick service- couldn't fault them. Plus was its dog friendly at the outdoor seating and someone even got our dog a bowl of water- very kind! 10/10 it is a must visit if you are in the area.

I've been wanting to go here for a while now, went today and was rather disappointed. Payed £9 for entry for me and my partner to walk around an area with some ducks, saw a few budgie type birds some chickens, two rabbits and two goats that today seemed aggressive! The shame was it all seemed abit run down needs some general maintenance just brushing/pressure washing etc to tidy it up. And it seems alot to charge £9 to not really see that much, something like £2.50 or £3 wouldn't have been so bad. The enjoyment I did get was feeding the ducks. I think like many business they have been hit with hard times with covid. I would recommend supporting them, its better probably to just go for food you don't miss out on much and can still see the ducks in the water and see the mill.

This is a lovely little place, set aside down country lanes, with a quirky cafe and a little animal enclosure. The watermill itself now stands idle, but it's still in situ to see with water still flowing through. Very lovely food, sort of standard prices for this sort of eating place. Lovely folk serving, made very welcome with the twins etc. 4 stars not 5 ? Because the animal enclosure really isn't worth the money. I know you don't get a lot these days for your money, but this is less than one would expect to pay £15.50 for 2 + 2. Ducks, a ferret, 3 or 4 Cockerell, 2 goats, 2 or 3 rabbits and guinea pigs - some family places have this amount of animals as part of the visit - free. But .. we had a lovely time. There's a small play area which we enjoyed. Ample car parking, plenty for a camper/m.home. We bought into the year pass as you had to decide at the start whether you wanted a day ticket or 12 month ticket (£24) definitely not worth buying. But back to a positive to finish on, a lovely place to visit for something to eat or drink.

The food and service was very good nice and friendly too but I was disappointed in visiting the bird and waterfowl side to see it did not seem to have as much as it once did and that was looking a little tired also no signs to describe animals and birds. I love it there so really hope they can bring that side of it back to how it was.

Beautiful building set in a rural location and is picturesque to sit and enjoy drinks and lunch. Food was excellent so was the service unfortunately there isn't much to see at the moment but I think just to go for lunch or tea is an ideal location to relax by there beautiful building listening to water running and water so clear u can see the fish swimming at the bottom, friendly ducks and swans swimming around really is beautiful! Also have some other animals on site too. There's a large car park on other side with a play area . Dogs are allowed on grounds but not inside or buy the animal area disabled access is a bit of a struggle as it's a gravel path but out side is one level if not a but bumpy.

The watermill is a lovely place to visit. The food was absolutely lovely and I'd highly recommend taking the walk to feed the ducks, fish and other animals!!!
