The Old Mill is full of beautiful features that blend history with modern living.
Even the ground floor WC is gorgeous.
Kitchen/diners don't come much better than this; beautifully equipped with everything you could need, including a wine fridge.
A special place at night too!
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.

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.
Mrs Smith April 2022
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. ...

Fantastic conversion of the old flour mill, into a cozy welcoming property. Great amenities with lovely bathrooms. Peaceful location and friendly welcoming host.

This cottage certainly has the wow factor. The conversion has been so well done that it keeps original features and combines them with modern comforts. Dog friendly too which is always a bonus. Dogs have to be kept on a lead outside due to the owners sheep being in the field, but this wasn’t an issue for us. Well equipped kitchen, wanted for nothing with extras such as cling film, foil, kitchen roll etc provided which hasn’t been the case with other holiday cottages we’ve used ( they weren’t booked through Classic Cottages). The owner also left us some cooking apples which we enjoyed. Definitely a home from home, thank you....
