Jane
Great location for a reunion. Fantastic walks, we didnâ??t go near our cars the whole of our stay!
Ar
We were very fortunate to stay at The Old Mil. We were ten people. found found it very comfortable and were accommodated with ease. The bedrooms and bathrooms are lovely and very comfortable. Everything worked, plenty of crockery and glasses and great appliances. All great!
Carole
Impressive house which needs some tlc if it's going to be value for money. Having said that we love it.
David
Great for a family holiday. That we have already booked for next year (our fourth in a row) is an indication of how much we like it.
Penelope
A beautiful house in a great location. Rooms were great with en suites. Great outdoor space with conservatory. Would highly recommend
Jane
Lovely spacious, comfortable house which all ten of us enjoyed.
Carole
It was the perfect house and location for our annual summer holiday and we couldnâ??t fault anything. Absolutely first class. The owners had thought of everything including comfortable pillows!!
David
This was the second year we have stayed at the Mill House and we have already booked for next year.
John
It is an excellent property, very well equipped, and comfortable. The view across the common is lovely. The garage is (unusuably) an excellent size, larger than normal.. The heating was very well set up, kept us all very comfortable. The AGA in the kitchen kept the chill off in the conservatory on chilly evenings.
Kim
This is the very best accommodation that Southwold has to offer for larger parties. An absolute gem.
Jenny
It was very windy while we were there so take ear plugs !
