The Mill Store Reviews

Emma
Good spot for a quick getaway
Emma
Amazing location with stunning vistas. The building’s really well keptand even with neighbours nearby, it’s surprisingly peaceful. Perfect for a quick getaway, definitely recommend!
Sam
Really enjoyed our stay, the cottage was spotless and the hot tub was brilliant!
Emma
We really loved the location of this cottage - it’s perfect for exploring the area. The place itself is cosy and well-equipped, making it a comfy stay. The only thing that bugged us a bit was the open-plan layout of the bathroom; no door on the loo and the bed is quite close, which felt a little awkward. Also, the loo’s behind the shower, so after using it, you’d have a wet floor to cross. The space inside is quite narrow, so it’s not the most practical. Overall though, we had a lovely time, but they should definitely rethink the bathroom setup!
Emma
We loved the peaceful vibe and stunning setting. The staff made us feel really welcomeand all the private spaces were perfect for our family getaway. Definitely good value for money!
Emily
We had a lovely stay here, perfect for a relaxing getaway for just the two of us. It would also be fantastic for a family or friends’ trip, or even a wedding! Definitely planning to return sometime soon. xx
Emma
The cottage was charming and full of character, really cosyand in a fantastic spot for food and drinks. Super peaceful and romantic too!
Clara
We had an excellent time here! The location is just perfect and the cottage itself is absolutely beautiful. Highly recommended!
Louise
A lovely little cottage, clean and nicely furnished, in a really peaceful location. The hot tub was a great additionand the walk-in shower was fantastic. The bed was super comfortableand the only noise in the morning is the sound of birds singing. The bathroom sink was a bit small, which made teeth brushing a tad tricky without soaking the floor. It’s very close to Richmond, a charming market town with some nice little walks and interesting sitesand not far to Barnard Castle!
Sophie
Wow, what a fantastic spot to stay! We visited for a long weekend in January and it was just beautiful. Super clean and cozy, the underfloor heating was a massive bonus that kept everything feeling warm. The hot tub was lovely, really clean and well maintained with a stunning view. Honestly, no complaints, we thought it was amazing!
Emily
We had a most enjoyable stay at this location. The cottage was comfortable and cozy. There are some lovely walks nearby. The property itself does show some signs of use and could be updated, but the setting was just amazing!
Emily
We had a fabulous time staying in the Mill Store! The facilities were great and it's such a lovely place to relax and unwind.
Ben
This place has a stunning setting and a lovely cottage. We absolutely loved our stay here! Everything was just perfectand the views were breathtaking. We can't wait to come back. It's seriously a good placeand we highly recommend it! The only thing we wished was that we could have stayed longer, but we will definitely be returning soon.
Oliver
What a lovely location and accommodation! It's just perfect for a short break, honestly. We had such a great time exploring the area and relaxing. Everything was so convenientand we really enjoyed it. If you're after a nice getaway, this is the spot!
Clara
We absolutely loved the view from the cottage and the hot tub was a real treat. The shower inside was lovely too. It was a bit small but definitely cosy. The staff were so nice and considerate, moving us to a cottage that was a bit more out of the way to avoid the noise from the wedding happening nearby!
Emma
What a beautiful location! The lovely cottage had everything we needed. The hot tub was such a fantastic addition and provided some serious relaxationtime at the end of the day.
Laura
We chose this room because we thought the hot tub would be more private. It turns out it is exclusively ours during the stay, but it’s quite open and people can stroll by. Another thing is the wet room shower. If you pick this room, definitely take two pairs of sliders! After you shower and dry off, if you need to pop to the loo, the floor stays wet for ages, so you have to walk back through the wet room to reach it. Such a lovely place with stunning views. We’d go again, but we’d choose a different room next time.

Big Sheep - EX39 5AP
about 12 Miles
This is a recommended day out for families with young children visiting the Bedale area of Yorkshire.  Visit the farm and receive a warm welcome as well as a guided tour.  You will have the chance to bottle feed the lambs, bath a pig and handle some of the smaller animals.  Kids will love the big sandpit and the outdoor play area. There is also a cafe and indoor play area for when the weather is not on your side.
Lightwater Valley - HG4 3HT
about 18 Miles
Situated in the Ripon area of North Yorkshire this popular theme park makes a fantastic day out for the whole family.  The more daring will love the big and thrilling rides such as Raptor Attack, The Ultimate and Trauma Tower.  For the little ones there are some excellent attractions such as Flying Camels, Dodgems and a Magic Wheel.  Toddlers will like the Dragon Boats and the Lightwater Express amongst other things. There are over 40 rides and attractions in total and we think this is excellent value for money too.  If you book your tickets in advance online you can save even more money and beat the queues.
Fountains Abbey - HG4 3DY
about 23 Miles
This is an outstanding world heritage site located close to Ripon in the North Yorkshire area. Nature lovers will be in their element with an abundance of wide open spaces to explore and there are special guided tours for families.  Some of the highlights may include seeing wild deer and bats during your visit.  The grounds are fantastic to wander round but there is also an Elizabethan Mansion, Victorian Church, Georgian Water Garden and the finest example of Cistercian Abbey ruins in the country - Well worth a visit!
