You can stay at one of the cottages/houses for at least four nights in peak season or just for the night in the low season. We ate at the Cyder House restaurant (your mum might like to try it out sometime - especially in the Summer when they do lunches and you can eat in the garden) and the food was sublime. We did a lot of walking in the gorgeous countryside in the vicinity of the estate and just strolled to the local pub in the evenings.
Happy memories!

It was great; friends and family came to us (they brought their own sleeping bags or sheets). The working mechanism of the mill is still there and all the children thought it was wonderful.
