During school holidays there are various activities organised to encourage children to interact with their natural environment (booking and charges may apply). The Ballihoo is a few minutes walk away from the cottage and is open for drinks, meals, take away and general supplies. Plus a new take away pizza shack is now open. We are dog friendly (sorry no cats). Dogs must be well behaved and house trained, please contact us if you wish to bring two. We do not accept puppies under 24 months or dogs in training. Dogs are to be kept downstairs only and not allowed on furniture. The Lower Mill Estate is a nature reserve so therefore there are no fences between properties. For your safety and comfort we only accept bookings with a maximum of 8 people plus two infants in travel cots (only one travel cot provided). We do not accept stag or hen parties.
