Most of our immediate family (19) came to this marvelous rural location. With 9 children and an age range from 4 to 76 the property proved spacious and practical.

We didn't want luxury or a place where we were for ever telling the children to be careful. We had no problems sorting out bedrooms, plenty of hot water and good bathrooms and loos. There was seating for 20 at one long dining table inside so we could all eat together in the evenings - which we really enjoy. The kitchen is spacious and well equipped. Table tennis and table football provided good fun but the star was the swimming pool. We thought it might be a bit small but far from it. 27' across and 4' deep was ideal for both children and adults. There were plenty of bikes in the garage (we needn't have bothered taking our own) and 2 well designed permanent barbecues. The garden is large and there are loads of recliners and lounge chairs though the 6 acres of woodland proved impenitrable. We didn't watch TV (though there is satellite and all the BBC channels) but we did watch a few dvds together on the large HD screen for our 'movie nights'. - there are plenty of dvds there though we wished we'd taken a few favourites.. Loads to do locally (good walking) and the beaches a couple of miles passed La Tranche are fabulous and the body surfing great fun for all.

For an active holiday for a large group The Mill would take a lot of beating - highly recommended.
