Wolfen Mill Reviews

Accommodation excellent for large families everyone can have their own space if they want, outside lots of seating and jacuzzi for relaxing was a hit, surrounding area lovely for walks.

We had a fantastic weekend,it was more than we expected. Every room had it's own kitchen and bathroom and space to chill out. The main dining area was a great space for family to eat and chat. The space outside was ideal for us to relax, even when it was a grey November day. Walking to the village meant we could stretch our legs and enjoy the hospitality of the area.

Deborah

Great place for a family get together. The communal areas were perfect for us to gather but it was also nice to have separate apartments for some downtime. Beautiful view of the mill pond from the lounge, the dining room had ample comfortable seating and the kitchen was very well equipped. Outside areas were spacious and the little indoor seating area was a bonus. Claire was a great host, responding very quickly to queries.

We had such an amazing time at Wolfen Mill. The surroundings are beautiful, and the home is fantastic. I would certainly recommend and I would love to return in the future. Thank you.

Timothy

A great place and location

Although a lovely comfortable property it was not very dog friendly. Dogs were not allowed upstairs and with the communal lounge being up on the second floor it meant that if we wanted to relax in there in the evening we had to leave our dogs on their own downstairs. Subsequently our evenings were spent in the dining room.Also the dogs were not allowed to foul on the grass in front of the property but given this was the only secure piece of garden it was impossible to stop this happening. Another problem I had Im afraid was the 24 hour surveillance in the communal areas. Felt a bit like big brother watching. Having said all this we enjoyed our holiday and loved catching up with family. The owner was very friendly and accommodating and I wish I didnt have to leave a negative comment but I feel the property would be better advertised as dogs not allowed.

Paulina

We spent our investment weekend away in this stunning place and really enjoyed it. The villa is beautifulan oldfashioned English style with lots of space, cozy charm, and everything you need to relax. We especially loved the jacuzzi, perfect for unwinding after a long day. The area around is also lovely, with plenty of great places to visit. Peaceful, comfortable, and full of character. Well definitely be coming back. Highly recommend!

Rosaleen

The place was fantastic, they supply everything you need which is great as I thought to bring foil for cooking but they have it all, which I was impressed with. very spacious and loads of room for 18 people which we had, they only thing I would say is the cushions outside for the seats could be a bit thicker but thats my preference, my mum had a wonderful time and so did all the rest of the family, owners where there if we needed anything which we didnt, great stay and definitely would stay again, thank you xx
