Always makes us happy to have a super shower.Just everything was totally perfect and we came home happy.Location was incredible if you wanted to look at trains. Can’t believe how busy it was, people must come from far and wide!

This was not our first stay at The Mill and we will be returning in October. It's a lovely property. Always clean and tidy. There's a nice welcome gift including milk, butter, bread wine and a few treats. Ideal for trips on the steam railway which is just over the bridge and an ideal base for walks on the moors.
