Our first guests comments on another platform '9/10 - only one piece of advise 

"Book this place now - rarely seen so much charm in an old mill, which even has its own private access to the river'. 

"It stole our hearts!"

A wonderful opportunity to stay within such an historical rustic building. If you like modern and trendy, that is not us!
As custodians we are maintaining and working with it's tapestry of oddities that any 300 year old building would have.

The quirky, but cosy ambience of the mill provides a lovely resting place, with crisp white cotton linen and luxury bath towels.

Of the 7 floors of the mill, 2 floors have been sympathetically renovated to comfortably accommodate:

We have a final vision of a high class destination - are we there yet? not this season, as we have reflected in the discounted price. We are on a journey of improvements and upgrades. We have found lots of original artefacts and tried to recycle and upcycle where we can; giving a second life to something that has a story, as history and sustainability is important to us.

Please note:

When the top floor Attica Penthouse comes on line in June 2026 it will have its own Orchard Garden & path leading down to the river with a completely separate access to the top floor.
