Millbrook is a 32 acre working estate set in a valley with 3 Self Catering Cottages, 1 open plan self catering apartment and a ground floor Bed and Breakfast suite with own access. The Mill (the location of the cottages) was built in 1791 and converted in 1992, Lakeview was built in 1989 and is a coach house and The Secret Garden is part of the old 18 century cow shed that was converted in approx 1989.
Wheel chair users will find Millbrook estate difficult due to its terrain and soft ground. All accommodation offers large button phones compatible with T loop position on hearing aids.
