'We just got home and wanted to tell you how wonderful it was to stay at the Mill. It is probably one of the most beautiful settings I’ve ever seen. Just wonderful. We got rested, enjoyed all the beauty, ate at some great places around and about, shopped and fell in love with this place. Thank you again.'

The mill will comfortably sleep 12. However it can suit smaller groups by not using the top floor. It has a large log fire and central heating, which makes it ideal for the winter period and is perfect for Christmas or New Year breaks.
On the ground floor the entrance hall leads into large open plan dining and living room, separated from the kitchen by a stone fireplace. A large oak table is the focal point of the room (sits 20, plus high chair available), surrounded by authentic stone walls, beams and furnishings. French doors open out onto a south-facing terrace. The kitchen contains all the mod cons as well as Villeroy and Boch china, cutlery and glassware. A cloakroom is also on ground floor along with as well as a telephone (for incoming and local calls) and a CD and tape player.
A beautiful open plan staircase with rope handrails leads to the first floor galleried sitting room. The sitting area has comfy sofa and armchairs (plus TV with French and European satellite channels, DVD, video player and VHS cassette collection). There is also a library (with French doors leading out to peaceful covered balcony overlooking the old mill patio), 2 double bedrooms and a shower room. One of the bedrooms is set within the tower, with the most attractive furnishings and its own balcony over the garden and stream. The second bedroom has beautiful views of the rear mill stone patio and the meadow.
The first floor opens up to another staircase with access to large landing and the rest of the accommodation. On the second floor there are 3 bedrooms on one side of the house (2 twin bedded rooms and 1 double bed). The double bedroom also has an extra adult bed if needed. All rooms are nicely furnished with great views of the gardens. There is a large bathroom with bath, WC, hand basin and washing machine and a separate shower room with WC and hand basin.
A final large double bedroom sits at the top of the tower with an extra adult bed and sofa. All double beds in the house are five feet wide and single beds are 3 feet wide. A cot and extra beds are available if necessary. Linen is provided.
Outside the south facing terrace is equipped with large teak table and chairs. The terrace at the front of the house contains an old side shot mill and one of the millstones. There is also a selection of garden furniture for use on the terraces and around the private swimming pool (which has underwater floodlighting) plus a large stone barbecue. The generous gardens mean there is plenty of space for games and perfect for children. There is a bridge over the stream within the gardens and more bridges over the River Vert in the meadows.
