Maxmills Cottage is one of four properties on a working farm in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, surrounded by wildlife and set beside a mill pond. The cottage itself is a converted stone barn, privately yours for the duration of your stay, with a walled garden and patio looking out over the peaceful countryside. A mile or so brings you to Churchill, where a dry ski slope, sports centre and horse riding are available; Cheddar Gorge is close by, and Blagdon Lake – known for its trout fishing – lies within reach. Bath and Wells are an easy drive away, and Weston-super-Mare's beach is seven miles down the road.
Inside, the ground floor has a living room with a woodburner, and a kitchen/dining room with an electric cooker, dishwasher and microwave for cooking from scratch or warming ready meals. Upstairs are two bedrooms – one double and one with two singles – and a bathroom with bath and shower. Bed linen, wi-fi, electricity and parking on site are all included. There is a shared games room with table tennis, and a travel cot and highchair are available if needed. The cottage is non-smoking throughout.

What guests say
Quiet working farm, Cottages are in a block and sound travels so depends upon others for how quiet it is. Rooms are reasonable size with plenty of storage space. Kitchen reasonably well equipped. Wi-Fi however was not very fast and connections kept dropping, so much so that we quickly moved to using mobile hot spot as it was both quicker and more reliable. Owners helpful and friendly,

We return to this lovely place every couple of years. Lovely location and very comfortable accommodation with a fantastic welcome from Archie and Maria. A real home from home with so much to visit locally.

We have stayed here many times and it is a great location for us to visit family in the area. Maria and Archie are unfailingly welcoming and helpful hosts. Max Mills is a working farm and the cows, and especially the deer in the adjacent fields, provide endless entertainment. The peaceful location is accessed from a narrow country lane and although having the feeling of being quite remote (in a very good way) it is still close to local facilities and attractions and the motorway can be reached in less than 15 minutes. There are many rewarding walks that can be commenced from the door (no driving required). I am progressively adding these to the OS Maps App so that they are available to all. We will be back at Easter 2019 for, I think, our eighth visit.
