The driveway entrance to The Old Mill (signed Metford Mill).
Your private balcony awaits where you can sit and enjoy uninterrupted views across the peaceful grounds.
Situated a little distance from the side of The Old Mill is this pretty pond (please take care with younger guests and dogs). You'll be sure to spot the colourful dragonflies here.
These original external steps are quite steep so please take care and use the rope handrail. The area you can see on the left-hand side, at the top of the steps, is not enclosed so please be mindful not to go too close to the edge.
Keep an eye out for this sign on the road which is at the entrance of the driveway down to The Old MIll.
Say hello to the owners sheep.
Although in the grounds of the owners' house, The Old Mill is completely separate ensuring your privacy.

Delightful; stylish and comfortable with a warm welcome from the owners. A peaceful location on a network of footpaths with easy access to the A37 and beyond.

A beautiful property, tastefully furnished to a high standard. Glorious location and some good walks with the dog. The sheep are an added bonus! Would only say dog owners need to keep their dogs on leads when not actually in the house as the sheep free roam around the property.

Excellent quality Mill conversion in a very lovely part of the country

This cottage is absolutely lovely. Interesting layout and Quirky. Owners were lovely and very helpful. Would definitely stay again.

Enjoyed our stay at the mill. Loved the way the cottage has been converted making it very modern but preserving many of the original features including mill stones. Very comfortable and relaxing to stay in

Beautiful old restored mill, can’t say anymore than a fantastic base to explore Dorset and return each day to heaven!

Fabulous cottage, lovely peaceful location.

Wonderfully furnished , fabulous relaxing retreat with all of the mod cons.

We had a wonderful and relaxing break. We very much enjoyed The Old Mill, which was extremely comfortable, and the wonderful Dorset countryside and coast. The hosts were very friendly and helpful. The beds were extremely comfortable and we were delighted to find that the quilts were not too heavy. Lovely to see some of the old features of the mill retained. The girls enjoyed sampling the wide range of different teas provided, which was a lovely touch.

A beautiful property in a lovely location. Very spacious and a home from home. Very comfortable beds. We would happily return.

The hosts were enormously helpful and accommodating At a cold time in the year, the Old Mill was cosy and warm
