On the downstairs level there is a snug bedroom with a beautiful double bed dressed with luxurious linens and cosy duvets and blankets. This beautifully decorated room has lovely Liberty-style wallpaper, floor length curtains which can be drawn around the bed and a gorgeous bespoke hardwood headboard.

From the sitting area, patio doors lead out to the fabulous wooden balcony which is the idyllic spot for enjoying a morning coffee or supper on warm sunny evenings. There are large wooden armchairs where guests can sit amongst the tree canopy and listen to the birdsong and the gentle sound of the water flowing in the river.

That makes this a truly unique stay that is absolutely perfect for nature lovers who are looking for complete isolation. The Marsland Valley Nature Reserve is a magical, secretive mix of woodland, coastline and butterfly-filled meadows that stretches down to a beautiful beach.

The reserve is only accessible on foot, which means you are able to park up at the mill and stay the night in true peace and tranquillity away from the crowds. The beach is also only accessed via a pretty walk, so you can take a stroll from the mill and experience the feeling of having your own private beach.
