The traditional style cottages at Mill Village are set within 550 acres of a private nature reserve and nestled around the lakes, small rivers and streams of the lovely Lower Mill Estate. This is a wonderful natural setting and adventure playground where guests can enjoy a wide range of on-site activities then sit back and relax in beautiful surroundings whilst being fully immersed in nature and wildlife.

There are a wide range of on-site activities from kayaking and paddle boarding to exploring the many lakes, rivers, woodland and nature trails on foot or by bike. Go fishing, play tennis, swim in the heated outdoor pool, watch the children have fun in the play area and then chill out on your decking or visit the Ballihoo Restaurant & Clubhouse. Bike and equipment hire and tuition is available at the on-site ‘Activity Hub'. For more information see our Lower Mill Estate page.
