"This is a wee gem of a place. The information about the Mill is interesting and there are frequently changing exhibitions in the adjacent gallery. Tea, coffee and food is available from Yarns Bistro in the same building. Parking is free with spaces normally available. The landscaped square is pleasant and sheltered, so good to sit and while away a few minutes when the weather is dry."
