St Mildred’s Church is a beautiful conversion. The layout of the rooms and bathrooms suited the 9 in our party very well everything was fresh modern and clean. The provision of equipment in the kitchen was great and the garden and hot tub were enjoyed by us all. Thank you for the welcome pack including one for the dogs who enjoyed the stay as much as we did.

Lovely converted church - very spacious but still warm and cosy. Perfect for 2 families with children of varying ages and 3 dogs!Log burning hot tub was a challenge to use but a nice addition to the property. Really appreciated the welcome gifts and how the dogs were included, would definitely recommend.

Beuatiful conversion of an old church into a cosy comfortable holiday home. Warm and welcoming with a lovely dining kitchen in which we spent most of our time. Plenty of facilities in the village, and the Turkish restaurant is not to be missed.We had a wonderful weekend for our multigenerational family and dogs - and the garden is truly spaniel proof. Appreciated the hose and tap in the back garden for dog washing. Loved that the dogs were truly made welcome with decent seat covers on the sofas. Owner was also thoughtful to let us know there is a grape vine in the garden, and it was currently shedding and so left us a broom to keep sweeping them up so the dogs couldn't get them!Only minor niggle was that there weren't many wine glasses, but that did not detract at all from having had a great time and we hope to return again
