More days out can be had in Frome (6 miles), Longleat (10 miles) and Stonehenge (23 miles), or you can embrace an exciting adventure on the Salisbury Plain Safari (18 miles).
Enter this beautiful property where every corner whispers the rich history of its past, starting with the original mill wheel elegantly preserved behind glass in the hallway. To the left, a spacious farmhouse-style kitchen/diner awaits, fully equipped with lovely granite worktops and a charming Belfast sink. Here, you can create culinary delights and gather loved ones around the table for memorable meals together. Ascend to the first floor to discover the heart of the home, a bright living area with dual-aspect windows and a striking wood burner-effect fire – a cosy retreat for evenings spent watching movies or engaging in spirited card games with family and friends.

We had a lovely, enjoyable holiday at the Mill, our party consisted of adult siblings, and everything was perfect for us. The Mill is comfortable, warm, large but also cosy. It was lovely to see all the exposed beams and the old waterwheel. Plenty of crockery and equipment if needed, and the location was perfect for visiting Bath, Warminster, Bradford on Avon, Devizes etc. Jane is the perfect host.

We simply had the best time in this beautiful, well appointed house. We didn't want for anything and Jane (the owner) was wonderful, before during AND after our visit. A lovely property in a fabulous location. We hope to return sometime. Thank you.
