Swilland Mill is a Victorian Grade II listed building which provides luxurious holiday accommodation in the Suffolk village of Swilland. Originally built in the 1890s, the property has been beautifully converted into three 5 Star holiday homes that offer a high level of comfort and style, perfectly combining modern living with original features.
The three adjoining properties that make up Swilland Mill can be rented together to accommodate large parties of up to fourteen guests or individually for smaller groups. The Lucam sleeps six guests and The Granary and The Mylen both sleep four. When Swilland Mill is booked as one large house, it provides luxurious accommodation which is perfect for those special occasions or large get togethers for friends and families. When booked individually, all three holiday homes are extremely private and ideal for a family holiday, friends wanting to spend time together or couples looking for a luxury retreat.
Formerly a coal-fired roller mill, it is an imposing and fascinating property which still retains original features including doors and pulleys that were once used in the processing of flour making. Today they are enhanced with modern furnishings, top quality finishing's and stylish decor to create real comfort.
There are tables and chairs on the terrace to the front of the property with lovely large gardens to the rear and side. Attractive exterior lighting welcomes you to the property and leads you to the hot tub and outside changing room. From there a lawned area leads to the children's play area with playhouse in the shape of a mill, where the children can let off steam. The old mill pond has a fountain and is fully fenced for children's safety.
When all three properties are rented together, there are three king sized double bedrooms and four twin bedded rooms, along with three bathrooms plus two ensuites. Twin beds can be zipped together for flexibility, to create superking sized beds. Kitchens are very modern and well equipped and the central property (The Lucam) has a dining table which seats fourteen, as well as all the necessary cutlery and china to ensure meals can be enjoyed together.
There is a nearby pub, The Moon and Mushroom which sells excellent food as well as some of Suffolk's finest beers. There is also an excellent choice of restaurants in the nearby towns of Framlingham, Woodbridge and by the quayside in Ipswich overlooking the marina.
