The present mill was built in the 18th Century, but there are records of working mills around here in the Doomsday Book. Although no longer a working mill, the race continues to rush under the milling floor - now the dining room - and a partly glazed floor allows guests to enjoy the sights and sounds of the millrace as they eat.
IN the Victorian farmhouse there is a guest sitting room, with books and games, a log burning stove and a private bar, plus a boot room for wet walking gear. With only five luxuriously appointed bedrooms - two of which have fourposter beds, and all with en suite bathroom - you are assured of a tranquil stay in total comfort. Each room has a tea and coffee tray, colour TV and hairdryer. With your own house key you are free to come and go as you wish.
Outside you can relax on the patio or in the guest garden, or stroll through the adjoining paddock.
In addition to the three bedrooms on the first floor, there are two ground floor rooms for less mobile guests. One room is wheelchair friendly, and has a custom-designed bathroom.
Breakfast in the Mill will be a highlight of your stay. The dining room walls are soft yellow stone, the floor is paved with York flags, with glass over the millrace. Your farmhouse English breakfast will be cooked to order while you choose from a selection of cereals, fruits and juices from the buffet - mind your head on the low beams!
By arrangement The Cornmill offers four course dinners by candlelight, featuring local produce, home grown vegetables and eggs from The Cornmill flock and offering a selection of fine wines. |
