Gorgeous summer staycation
We’ve stayed in Mill Village on several occasions. This was our first time at 53 The Mallards. Everything was spotless comfortable clean and cozy. Even they many of the houses have the same configuration, it felt like the interior design for the furnishings were beautifully thought through, down to the artwork on the walls abd the lack of any clutter. There was a great collection of books to read as well as games for all in the cupboard. And of course great to be able to use the spa. Thank you so much for a wonderful stay.
