About Us

We are Bob and Kate, we moved to Millbrook in March 2005 from North Somerset. We live and work at Millbrook and see it through the seasons. Kate's' favourite time of year is late April when spring is sprung and when everyday the plants look different. Bobs' favourite time of year is winter - with the crisp frosts and the colour's of the willows.

We employ 2 people on site who help us to run the place including cleaning and cutting the grass (In the summer it takes 5 hours 3 times a week to cut the grass alone!). We also have a part time gardner called Mike who helps us to plant up areas and make them look stunning!

We open Millbrook 365 days a year and our only out of season times are just before Christmas and just after New Year. Last year Millbrook had a 88% occupancy level.

We both have other business interests so are not reliant on income from the cottages we run a telecom's company called Dial Green which specialises in Eco Friendly telecom's. This allows the Millbrook income to be re-invested in keeping the cottages and grounds to a high standard. We also own and rent a chalet in Austria called Mountains View, please have a look it is a fantastic place to go for a winter skiing holiday or a summer exploring holiday.

Millbrook has been a massive learning curve for us and is very special to us, our families and friends. You might meet one of Bobs four Children Oli, Tom, Abi and Charlotte, Or our very very good friends Suezy and JJ Kowalski and Dave Wood (Dangerous Dave), or even Kate's' Dad (Dave) or her brother Alan.
