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.
Up this slight incline and to the right is the parking area.
Rural Dorset is so peaceful and attractive, you'll leave wanting to return time and time again.
The stunning Jurassic Coast is just a short drive away.

We absolutely loved this property! It had everything you could think of. It was clean, fresh, the property was stunning! Would go back again that is for certain! The only negative was having to keep the dog on a lead when going outside, but that’s just a minor thing! ...

The Old Mill is a beautiful conversion in a lovely part of Dorset. The hosts are very friendly and helpful and The Mill is well sited for visits to key Dorset attractions. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Fabulous place to stay, has all the home comforts with a touch of luxury, we stayed a week in Autumn, would love to go back to experience it in the summer, as grounds and views are lovely, couldn’t fault it, and the local village is in walking distance with a great, dog friendly pub! ...

Absolutely gorgeous. The restoration of the mill is wonderful and the decoration is superb. A lovely spacious kitchen with more than we could have hoped for - the wine cooler was a real bonus. The location was fabulous - the dog loved it too - being able to run in the large grassy area was her idea of heaven. The hosts, Carol and Neil, were always chatty and friendly and there if needed....
