The Mill Reviews

We really enjoyed our time at The Mill the cottage inside was beautiful & all the fixtures & fittings were of a high quality. The Hosts were excellent & very helpful. The Hot Tub was very good but the external furniture probably needs some TLC or replacing. We were disappointed that we couldnt open the door on the Juliet Balcony but it was not a big issue.
Very friendly and accommodating hosts. Well maintained hot tub within your own private enclosure. Lovely views from the bedroom overlooking the paddocks. A very comfortable and relaxing stay. Thank you very much.
The Mill is a lovely cottage with a homely feel. It is situated in country surroundings within a working farm environment and whilst we were warned that we might experience noise at times, we found it very peaceful. Would definitely stay again.
Thomas
Just home from a really wonderful week at The Mill. The cottage was everything we could have hoped for and more cosy, comfortable, clean, quiet and well equipped. Sharon had gone out of her way to decorate the house beautifully for Christmas and was kind, friendly and helpful in all of her communication. She was also very accommodating of us and our one year old twins and nothing was too much bother. We would definitely recommend this home from home.
Fabulous cottage, spotlessly clean, very comfy and cosy. Everything you could need and very friendly host
Matthew
Fantastic property with all the kitchen equipment you could think of. Great location to get out and visit all of Dorset. And not forgetting the hot tub at the end of each day! Amazing thank you!
Cottage had been refurbished to a high standard and made for a very comfortable stay. The hot tub is a lovely addition. Ideally situated for local attractions of Durdle Door, Lulworth Cove and Swanage.
From the moment we arrived and met Sharon everything was perfect. The cottage has been done to a very high standard and was immaculately clean. The photographs do not do it justice. The mill is a very quiet and comfortable place to stay . A big warm hug!! The shower was great with lovely hot water and the towel rails worked perfectly. There was nothing we needed milk in the fridge and biscuits. Fantastic paddock for our little Labrador. We are renting due to house move and we wish we could have stayed here longer. Highly recommend this little gem,
Great location, very well equipt and beautifully designed presented. Field for playing was excellent and the dog area perfect. Highly recommend.
The Mill was a lovely place to stay. Lots of little touches made it a great break away, washing up bits, soap, salt and pepper, tea, coffee and milk, towels, full kitchen, blankets in lounge, big shared area as well as your own private fenced patio with hot tub. Owners were lovely with great communication. Location was great for exploring the area. Thank you
Thomas
Super cottage. New, clean and modern. Great place to stay with a pet. Really good location to act as a base for visiting other parts of Dorset. You must try the breakfast's at the extreme sport centre near by.
ie Claire
The Mill is absolutely perfect in every way so much so we ended up staying for over 5 months. It's a beautiful cottage and ideal for either a couple but big enough for 4 people. There is everything you need at the cottage, a spacious, light kitchen and beautiful walks right from the doorstep. The coast is only 20 minutes away and the nearest town under 10mins. Sharon, our host is super helpful and couldn't do enough for us! I can't recommend The Mill highly enough it's a rare find.
We were very happy with the cottage, it was beautifully equipped and comfortable. Great location to explore the local area. Only one suggestion, a blind on the velux in the second bedroom, would help the light streaming in so early. Would very happily come back! Thank you Sharon x
Anthony
Absolutely loved it, a really well appointed and equipped cottage in a lovely spot. It was great for our dog having a large secure grassed area for her to run in. I met both Neil & Sharon who are really lovely and keen to make sure everything was ok for us to have a fantastic time, which we did. Have already recommended it and will return in the future.
Jonathan
Very nice property, well equipped, good location, hot tub is an added bonus
Tracey
We've had a very comfortable, friendly stay. Lovely to wake up and see the horses in their paddocks. Hot tub an added bonus. Ideally situated to explore Poole and surrounding area as well as Shaftesbury and Dorchester. Everything was provided that we could have needed. Highly recommend.
Comfortable home from home Sharon and Neil were very welcoming. Near to everything we required eg shopping and places to visit
Andrew
Generally a nice place in quiet surroundings although a busy yard due to it being on a working livery. Your private courtyard garden has a lovely hot tub, both could have done with a better clean, on the outside of the hot tub and floor of the courtyard. The stairs have a twist in them and the shower is in the bath. So if you had mobility issues then the place is not for you. The bathroom would have been better with just a walkin shower. One morning we didnt have any hot water. This was reported and fixed quickly. We sat there for an hour waiting for someone to fix it. Whatever the problem we was not told it had been fixed. On the day of departure, maintenance people were in the property as we were loading the car. We found this rather rude and shouldve waited until we had left. No fire instructions but we did find a fire blanket and extinguisher in a kitchen cupboard. On the whole we enjoyed our stay, the place being new and a year old. Just those pointers for improvement. We would consider returning.
William
The Mill is a hidden gem. It was perfect for us and the dog, with many accessible walks including the North Dorset Trailway. Conveniently located not too far away from the coast and other attractions. The Hot Tub is a bonus when coming back from a long day out.
Thank you so much Sharon and Neil,we had a lovely relaxing holiday,a beautiful ... Thank you so much Sharon and Neil,we had a lovely relaxing holiday,a beautiful place to stay,calm and relaxing, highly recommend you,will love to come back again
Nicholas
The host was very welcoming and had left us a little arrival pack which was a lovely touch. The property was clean and fresh but at the same time cosy and homely.The hot tub was a real treat and we loved getting in to it in the evening for a chill in our private little courtyard not being overlooked. There was a perfect doggy field for toileting and another lovely field for the kids to run around in. The Mill was in a perfect location a few minutes drive from the nearest town, and near lots of walks and only half hour from the beach. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely come back as we love that area of the country and great to find somewhere that's also perfect for our dog that isn't too keen on others.
Lyndsay
We loved the cottage, real home from home & more.
Lovely recently converted barn, very well converted excellent finish. Hot tub was a bonus, been nice if more local to pubs nearest pub 3 miles away but was very good. Nice quiet relaxing break, owners should be very proud of what they have.
The Cottage was lovely. Even better than it looks in the photos. Comfortable, cosy, had every facility you needed for a good stay. The hot tub is a lovely relaxing luxury too. Lovely play area for kids, and enclosed area for dogs too. The owner was really nice and helpful too. We really enjoyed our week and didnt want to come home, well definitely be returning to the Mill in the future.
Colette
We had a fantastic stay at The Mill. Its a beautiful property and even more so than the pictures! The cottage was extremely clean and well fitted out. We really appreciated the effort made to accommodate a baby a full sized cot not a travel cot! and a high chair. And of course being dog friendly was a huge bonus and there was even a dog paddock for him to run around in! The hot tub was great too of course. The property is well located to explore the local area. We would definitely stay again if were in the area!
Well thought out property, plenty of room. Useful outside enclosed area for our dog.In a good location to visit many of Dorset's inland and sea side sights and scenery The hot tub is an added luxury .Would use again.
This was a perfect stay had everything we needed, the facilities were excellent. It was extremely clean and a really lovely setting, the outdoor toys and paddock for the boys was a really nice touch. We would highly recommend
Danielle
We had a really great time staying at The Mill. My kids enjoyed the hot tub. It was very clean and well equipped. I think the only things that were missing was a ttowel in the kitchen and a hairdryer. I would highly recommend a stay here.
Philippa
Beautiful homely property, the owners have thought of everything to make the stay easier. Great location to visit the beaches and activities.
