There is a private secluded guest garden with a wooden picnic table. Or cross the private bridge behind the mill and enjoy half an acre of woodland. NB all garden areas are open to the Mill Pond. It is strictly forbidden to swim, paddle or enter the water for any reason, and it is the guests' responsibility to keep children and pets out of the water.
