    The mill has been beautifully restored and converted into a comfortable holiday home, with everything needed for a relaxing break. The owners are so friendly, and on hand if we had any questions or concerns. We also found plenty more places to visit during our holiday, as well as returning to a couple of favourites.

  • Alan

    We always feel like our Christmas has begun when we are there. Jane and Allan make it all so cosy and festive and beautiful. The Mill is always spotlessly clean and every detail is thought of. A welcome hamper that is the most amazing we have ever had in the many cottages we have stayed in.

    Jane and Alan were so welcoming, on arrival Jane meet us in the horrible rain . Then she had kindly made us some hot mould wine . On entering the mill house we were taking back buy the amazing eye to detail in the home . We also was greeted with a wonderful Christmas hamper which was amazing. We then got showed are the the property which I can’t put into words All I can say if you are thinking of booking an amazing 3 days or a week this is definitely a place I would recommend. You won’t be disappointed. Then on the outside wow just amazing gardens and lakes . Which if you ask Jane she will be more than happy for you to help feed ducks and geese . On a last note I really can’t thank this amazing couple for giving us an amazing Christmas. A memory will we never forget. We will look forward to seeing them again. Many thanks Gary & Beverley Clark ( Aylesbury)
