Set in 8 acres of gardens with views over 250 acres of water meadows we’ve created four luxurious and stylish cottages in the grounds of our home at one of East Anglia’s most picturesque and historic watermills. Enjoy the gardens, water meadows and landscapes which inspired the painter Sir Alfred Munnings who was born here in the Miller’s House in 1878 and went on to become President of the Royal Academy. His birthplace and home, The Miller’s House (4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms), with its classical proportions and large Georgian windows provides stunning views over the land and river and also offers a secure ‘child-friendly’ courtyard as well as a riverside garden. There is a choice of 2 bedroom cottages: The Lodge set in an enormous ½ acre walled garden and Mill Race Cottage with its beautiful plantsman’s garden with award-winning and rare plants stretching alongside 100 metres of riverbank. The one bedroom ‘Nest’ with a terrace directly over the mill steam is ideal for couples and comes complete with a modern, recital quality grand piano!
James and Nick, the owners, live on the estate too. Not only will we be here to welcome you but we’ll also be around if you need suggestions on places to visit, pubs and restaurants to drink or eat at etc.. We’ll also encourage you to use the rowing boat or canoes to experience the beauty of this wonderful river valley with its hundreds of acres of unspoiled water meadows and abundant wildlife. We want you to have a wonderful and memorable holiday.
