At the heart of The Mill Courtyard is The Old Mill, home to an impressive 65-foot open-plan kitchen and dining room where the whole group can gather. The kitchen is generously equipped for large-scale cooking and entertaining, with an AGA, electric oven, large fridge, Nespresso coffee machine and two dishwashers.
Bi-fold doors lead directly into the secure courtyard, allowing celebrations to flow easily outdoors. Elsewhere, choose between the cosy winter sitting room with its log-burning fire and a separate Smart TV lounge with Sky Sports, movie channels, Netflix and Amazon Prime.
Underfloor heating, BOSE speakers and fibre Wi-Fi add contemporary comfort, while a separate utility room provides a washing machine, tumble dryer and freezer.

The Hayloft

Sleeps 9 | 4 bedrooms | 4 bathrooms

The Hayloft brings a playful side to the retreat, with an impressive games room offering table tennis, air hockey, table football, a piano, books and board games.

Exposed beams and countryside views retain the barn's character, while tea and coffee-making facilities provide added independence for guests staying here. Direct access to the courtyard keeps The Hayloft closely connected to the rest of the group.

The Old Byre

Sleeps 10 | 4 bedrooms | 4 bathrooms

Linked to The Old Mill via the secure courtyard gardens, The Old Byre provides further space to relax, including a second winter sitting room with a log-burning fire and an additional Smart TV room.

Outside, a private hot tub creates an indulgent place to unwind, with robes, spa towels and slippers provided. A second hot tub can also be arranged for an additional charge.

The Wainhouse Courtyard

A striking glass-sided sitting room offers a beautiful place to relax around the log-burning stove, alongside a 52-inch Smart TV with Sky Sports and Sky Cinema. Superfast Wi-Fi, BOSE speakers, an iPod docking station and underfloor heating complete the space.

The Wainhouse

Beautifully restored to retain its original character, The Wainhouse provides additional living and entertaining space while connecting seamlessly with the surrounding barns.

Warm, characterful interiors offer quieter corners away from the main gathering spaces, while the secure orchard garden provides room for children and dogs to enjoy the outdoors and creates a lovely setting for relaxed afternoons and alfresco dining.

The Granary

Sleeps 6 | 3 bedrooms | 3 bathrooms

The Granary adds three further en-suite bedrooms alongside one of the retreat's standout social spaces: a first-floor games room connecting directly with The Stables.

Table tennis, air hockey, table football, books and board games provide plenty of entertainment, while outside, a private hot tub awaits for long, leisurely evenings beneath the Herefordshire sky. Robes, spa towels and slippers are provided for an added touch of luxury.
