Lovely spacious accommodation.. The hot tub was great especially at night looking at the stars.

The Mill House is the perfect venue for a family holiday.. The owner was very welcoming and took time to show us around the property.There’s plenty of space and comfort and it is very well equipped. The additional bonus of the sauna, jacuzzi and play barns offers facilities for all ages. We were staying during Storm Dennis and although it curtailed our plans to explore the area somewhat the additional facilities more than made up for wet weather activities.

Mrs Barnes, September 2019

10 of us from the North London MG Club embarked on our Autumn Tour this year and had a great time at the Mill House.. The accommodation and the facilities were as described and made our stay most enjoyable, especially the Hot Tub.

Mr Pankhurst, September 2019

August 2019

I booked The Mill House for a long-weekend with friends to celebrate my 40th.. It absolutely exceeded our expectations!! I booked for 8 adults and there was more than enough space for us all. All 6 bedrooms are ensuite and really spacious (even the 2 twin rooms). There are 2 toilets downstairs - one with a shower which is next to the large sauna and the backdoor out to the hot tub. The hot-tub is fabulous - it was pretty much ready to use when we arrived, sufficiently sheltered but with a great view of the night sky and easily accommodated us all. The downstairs is open plan with again plenty of space, the kitchen leads on to a dining area and then living space which also has a pool table. The large dining room table was great for sit down dinners together, and the living room space had some very comfy sofas and a good sized coffee table for games, drinks, or just chilling with DVDs. It is just such a sociable layout. There is also a large table outside near the hot tub and BBQ where we spent all of our mornings and lunch times given the glorious sunshine. The Mill House kitchen has 2 large dishwashers, a large American style fridge freezer, and a wine fridge - great for a large group, and accommodated the large food delivery we had pre-ordered. There is plenty outdoor space too - we brought our own croquet set, and an outdoor badminton set, but they also have 2 other barns with a selection of DVDs, more games, indoor badminton, and a climbing frame and ball pit for children. Did I mention free range eggs from the on site chickens? I would gladly book the Mill House again, and cannot recommend it enough. It is brilliantly equipped and both Julie and Robert were ever so helpful during our stay (even when one of my friends accidentally left with the Mill House keys). Thanks for a wonderfully memorable birthday!

We are a group of friends who were on a walking holiday and this property was excellent for us.. The property was very spacious and cleverly designed to give different areas for people to sit comfortably. Everyone could be seated at the dining table and the kitchen was well equipped. All of the bedrooms being en-suite was an added bonus.The owners were very friendly and helpful. We would recommend this property for large groups.

Mrs Prince

October 2016

This is a beautiful holiday complex.. We booked 4 of the cottages including the Mill House, an excellent venue for a large family get together with space for everyone to meet in the main house. The standard of accommodation was excellent, clean, modern and easy to live in. The hot tubs are very private with lovely outdoor sitting area too. Lots of space for adults and children to play in the games room and barn. The welcome was much appreciated, efficient but unfussy, nothing too much trouble. Would very much recommend to large or small groups.

Ms Palmer

The property and facilities are absolutely stunning - the photos do not do it justice in the slightest. Having a bathroom to every bedroom saved us a lot of time and hassle and was a real plus point. As was having so many facilities on site for people to enjoy. The hot tub was wonderful, with room for us all to enjoy together.

The Mill House has everything you need, including a sauna and a hot tub. The place is just amazing. The play area for the children is great with pool tables, air ice hockey and much more and with no extra charge to use them. The proprietors were so accommodating and lovely people. I would definitely recommend staying here.

Our party of eight friends loved the spaciousness of this property. There was everything we could possibly want. We loved the sauna, hot tub and snooker table particularly. The owner was away at the time, but the housekeeper went out of her way to make us welcome. She was very helpful. We all wallowed in the luxury!

Mrs Kirtley

The welcome was friendly, the House and the facilities were fantastic and we had a wonderful stay here. This House made a friends group holiday with a mixture of young families, couples and singles so relaxing and fun.

KazW951

Although a little out of Shrewsbury and an hour from Chester, this house was ideal for a family get-together for adults and teens. The house was exceptionally comfortable and well equipped, the staff friendly and helpful. We loved the hot tub and sauna and tended to cook in which was so easy in such a fab kitchen. The play barn etc would have been great if we had had younger children with us, and the teens enjoyed the DVD library and air hockey. They even had a couple of dogs available for walking if you wanted! Couldn't fault this accomodation

Laura / Vicky K

12 of us stayed here for my hen weekend. The accommodation and surroundings are amazing and I was moved to tears when we walked in as the pictures do not do it justice. The Mill House is immaculate and beautifully furnished and has everything you could possibly need. The hot tub and sauna are brilliant and certainly had plenty of use! The play barn and honesty shop are great and everyone is so friendly and could not do enough to help. This fantastic place certainly made my hen party one to remember and we are already looking to book again for next year!!

Large group of 12 stayed in the Mill House, the place is huge and the pictures really don't do it justice! There was enough space in the property that we were not under each others feet throughout our long weekend. The property was out of this world we really enjoyed it, the people that own the property are more than helpful! The hot tub was brilliant! We all probably spent more time in there than in the house! Would highly recommend this property!

Guest

This property was immaculate and had everything you needed. We were lucky to have beautiful weather but had it been bad there was still plenty to do with a games room and badminton and the house was so big with 12 of us there it still seemed spacious and we had the added extra of the hot tub. Our family group ages ranged from 70s, 40s,20s, teens and an 8 year old and we all enjoyed it. The owners were helpful and there if you had any questions but left us to enjoy our holiday and because the house had everything we needed we really felt like we'd had a holiday. We would definately go again.

Mrs Griffin, September 2014

Outstanding property with every facility a large group could want or need.. Owners were very friendly, welcoming and helpful, and so were their dogs :) Will not hesitate to book again in future, and really thankful that they've got other properties on site so we can still go when there aren't so many of us!

Mrs Webley

The accommodation and facilities were immaculate and the owners were incredibly helpful. The hot tub and sauna were a real bonus as was the children's play barn which was a lovely idea. I couldn't recommend it highly enough!

Mr Daft

Everything was superb, from the spacious living rooms to the beautifully appointed bedrooms. The hot tub and sauna were added bonuses, and to have a pool table in the lounge was just perfect. So much space, lovely countryside on your doorstep and plenty to do on site if the weather was poor.

Mrs Ryan

The Mill House is a fantastic property! There was plenty of room for 6 adults and 6 children. The farm itself is lovely and all the properties on site have obviously been finished to the same standard. The hot tub and Jimmy's Play Barn were an added bonus for children and parents alike! The owners, were very friendly and always available for anything we needed but didn't make us feel like we were being watched all the time. It was also lovely being able to take Millie the sheepdog for a walk through the local fields. We would definitely consider returning and will certainly recommend this property to friends.

sarah278_11

10 of us stayed here for a week and from the youngest at 13 to the oldest at 83 there was something for everyone. The hot tub went down very well and the pool table saw a few competitions!!! The games room was well equipped for children and adults alike!! The ensure bedrooms were great, very spacious, very clean and wall cared for. The attention to detail was really appreciated. the hosts were friendly a nd had some good suggestions for visits in the area. Would definitely come back here!!

Perfection!

LTT30

Stayed here with eleven other people. All had lovely rooms with en-suite bathrooms. Spacious living area with pool table. Dining area with log fire and further seating area. Large kitchen with big American style fridge, dish washer and range cooker. We all loved the hot tub and sauna. Would be a great place to go in the summer and have a BBQ. Staff were very friendly. Would definitely return.

this is the largest unit of 6 or 7 in a farmyard courtyard . all apparently converted recently . the owners live in the farmhouse on site and are incredibly friendly and helpful . we regularly take breaks in holiday cottages/cabins and usually find it advisable to book a larger than advertised property to be comfortale - this is not the case here , all bedrooms are of generous size with good size en-suites , the kitchen is huge and well equipped . there is a huge dining room which also has easy chairs and a tv , connected to ( via open plan arch ) a massive lounge with comfy seating for all. all fittings are of a good standard . outside has a BBQ with dining table , also a good size hot-tub . the only slight negative is that there is no "view" from outside , there is a barn play area with games and books to suit kids and adults . overall i would say this the best we have visited as regards the property itself , just slightly marred by its lack of outlook . i would stress it is sensibly priced and extremely good value in comparison to most
