  • "This is an amazing converted barn that would suit large families."

    We are a 4 generation family with a one and two year old child and great grandparentes in their late 80's. The Barn enabled us all to get together and enjoy each others company but still allowed plenty of space for quiet time. The hot tub was brilliant and the play area for the children was such a bonus. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Mill House.

    We couldn't fault the Mill Barn and all the activities on site. There was something for all ages from the soft play for little ones to games tables, badminton to, Jacuzzi and pool. It is perfect for families and groups. We met Mr Evans who was lovely and very helpful. Thank you we had a great stay and will definitely be returning.

  • "We had a great stay at The Mill House property it had all the facilities you would need for a big group or big family stay."

    We were six couples in their 50s and ate breakfast in everyday and one evening meal. The size of the open plan downstairs made it never feel crowded, the barn next door with all the games and local information was also great. We went in the hot tub and sauna which very clean. It is a good location to visit Shrewsbury and Welshpool with lots of lovely villages/pubs also nearby. We walked up to Admiral Rodney’s pillar which was a great walk with a fantastic view. We also had a takeaway delivered from the halfway house nearby that was very tasty. We would definitely visit again.

  • "Property was brilliant."

    Plenty of space. It was clean, lovely and warm. The only queries we had was the photos showed a swing set, we couldn’t find that. Also the hot tub could do with a shelter / gazebo so it can be used in all weathers.

  • "Amazing property for larger family gatherings and facilities to suit all ages."

    We had a lovely week celebrating Christmas and birthdays and many memories were made, The adults loved the hot tub and the little ones made great use of the play barn, although the adults were enjoying it over there too with the air hockey being a great game! It was brilliant that it was just across from the house too. A trip to The Windmill Inn was great in their exclusive function room with log burner-just ring to check availability before you go and they’ll start up the fire. Great chips!

    There was 14 of us and this house was just perfect for everything we needed. From soft play, to the hot tub, the huge living room and kitchen plus the games room. There was something for everyone and it was the perfect weekend away for my mums Birthday. We had babies with us and the place was secure and safe with lots to do for them. Thank you so much to Robert who was a lovely host who was there for anything we needed and was so kind. I could not recommend this place enough. Lots of bathrooms, decent sized bedrooms, so clean and the best place for large groups to have fun and relax. I can’t wait to return as we loved it.

    Fantastic property with excellent facilities. The play barn and hot tub was such a hit with kids and adults alike (and handy with it being not great weather). Good size, well equipped, kitchen. Great having a bathroom each too. Robert was on hand to deal with any minor issues/queries promptly.

  • "The Mill House was a last-minute booking for us (after our original booking sprang a leak!"

    ) and it couldn’t have been more perfect for a group of old friends getting together and bringing assorted babies, toddlers and children. The house was lovely and spacious, and the children had a splendid time in the soft play area, on the climbing frame, and collecting eggs from the chickens, while the adults took turns enjoying the hot tub! Robert was very helpful, friendly and flexible. The surrounding countryside is lovely, but we felt no need to leave the property, with so much to entertain us on site!

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.

  • "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 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.
