Millers Cottage and The Granary once belonged to the miller who operated the water-driven corn mill and managed the surrounding land at Holburn Mill Farmhouse. While the exact construction date of the cottage is unknown, it had been inhabited for over 130 years. Historical records show that at least eight people once lived in Millers Cottage, which has now been modernised for guest comfort. The original fireplace in the living room, which once provided cooking and heating, adds character to the property. And The Granary was a large open plan store for all the milled grain. My family & I moved into the Farmhouse in 2016 and the whole property/site was going to be a project! I obtained planning permission in 2018, and extensive renovations began in 2019 on the building transforming the space with essential utilities and modern amenities, including heating and bathrooms! Guests can enjoy the peace and tranquility along with the unique charms of Millers Cottage and The Granary during their stay. The property combines historic features with contemporary comforts, providing a cosy and welcoming atmosphere for all visitors.
