What visitors say
What a gem of a place! It’s FREE too We passed going to another house, on the way back we stopped got coffee. Haven’t seen this advertised anywhere!! Great drinks, lovely big room for cafe and outdoor areas when nice, most food made on site with there own products. It’s a working mill and produces it own cereal, flour and porridge. The muesli is lovely well the cherry one so far….. The little gift workshops they are brilliant too, again making stuff on site for sale, at the moment Crochet, Copper wire work and our favourite the Wood shop, all with very good priced items. Oh and it’s ALL free to enter and the mill and it’s info and museum were fantastic!! They have days it’s working to. Great area to sit outside with a mini golf course to for all to enjoy at a small charge. Lots of free parking!
