Fabulous property and fabulous hosts. My daughter was so excited when she to meet and feed the goats. Another big positive for any animal loving families is the large enclosed garden for the dogs and the walks around the lakes.

Had the most amazing week here with family (5 adults and 3 dogs). The cottage is stunning and more than we wished for. The extra touches from tea and coffee to jam and marmalade were so thoughtful along with so many doggy extras including treats, bowls and even baked pupcakes for them when we arrived! The cottage is extremely clean no dust in sight, the abundance of pots and pans made cooking extremely easy, we have never stayed anywhere like it!We even booked our next stay in Old Mill for next year whilst we were still there! We cannot wait to come back! 🙂
