I always study all property reviews before making a booking. The Mill was as expected clean, comfortable with everything working as it should. Jon the owner was friendly & approachable as I always like to be & we had an enjoyable week. The farm animals were holiday maker friendly, children would love this experience. We shall certainly book again in the future. Neil & Sally plus family. Bath Somerset.
