  • Susan

    The space is clean comfortable and welcoming with lots of little touches. The beds were all comfortable and the rooms were spacious and well furnished We were a group of 4 friends and had a bedroom each but this space would be comfortable for full occupancy of 8 people. We were able to park all 4 cars in the spaces at the top of the path. There was a very generous welcome basket on arrival including tea coffee wine and even fresh flowers. We had a fabulous weekend and wouldn’t hesitate to book the Milk House again if we return to the area.
