Our Glorious Gardens

Mill House sits in a spectacular 12-acre haven where nature flourishes in all its glory. Our grounds blend the charm of a traditional English country garden with the wild beauty of natural water meadows, creating an enchanting setting for your stay.

The house itself looks like it belongs in a period drama, its traditional architecture complemented perfectly by climbing roses that adorn the walls. As the seasons change, different areas of the garden take centre stage. In spring, the wilderness garden bursts into life with naturalised bulbs and early wildflowers. Summer brings a profusion of rambling roses in soft pinks and whites, their sweet perfume filling the air. The water meadow hosts a remarkable display of marsh orchids, their delicate flowers dotting the landscape.

Our grounds offer perfect spots for morning walks or peaceful afternoon reading. The water meadow, fed by clear chalk streams, supports an abundance of wildlife – from darting dragonflies to visiting waterfowl. The wilderness garden provides a beautiful contrast with its informal planting and natural style, where native flowers thrive alongside garden favourites.

The gardens at Mill House change throughout the seasons, each bringing its own distinct character. Spring daffodils give way to summer roses, followed by autumn colours and winter’s stark beauty. Bird song provides a constant backdrop, with our garden attracting a variety of local species.

Guests are welcome to explore these tranquil spaces during their stay, perhaps finding a quiet bench to enjoy the evening sun or taking a morning stroll before breakfast. Our 12 acres provide endless opportunities for peaceful moments amid nature’s beauty.
