The area is ideal for outdoor enthusiasts, offering extensive walking trails through the enchanting countryside and ancient woodlands, as well as opportunities to explore the Axe Valley rivers, where one might spot otters and kingfishers in their natural habitat.
One of the unique features of The Mill House is the warm hospitality of its owners, who reside nearby.

The proximity to a local pub enhances the appeal of the cottage, providing guests with convenient dining options within walking distance.
While The Mill House is an idyllic retreat for adults, it is important to note that it is not suitable for children under the age of 10.
