"The Mill was so much better than we had hoped for! My wife loved the flat screen telly on the master bedroom wall, and walking out of the french doors to eat our breakfast on the decking with those amazing views was exhilirating. Thanks so much for recommending your butcher, and the food at the Clockhouse was brilliant. We didn't fit in everything we wanted to do but at least it gives us an excuse to return, we'd love to see The Mill in the autumn when we can justify using the wood burner! Thanks again for your hospitality, the drams were great" Carol and Steve Heap, Durham
