Great little place.
The Mill is lovely and was great for an event at The Byirs not far away. It's well equipped and tastefully decorated, warm and cosy, in a stunning and peaceful area. All the communications were timely and info was comprehensive, though I'd recommend taking a screenshot of the directions and entry instructions as mobile service isn't great in this remote area. The upstairs floorboards were very - very - creaky (it's an old building) but unfortunately so was one of the single mattresses, so it wasn't great for sleep there. I'm sure that could be easily fixed. We'd have liked to have had the bedside lights that were in the photos but they weren't there when we stayed.
