It is a perfect venue for a family holiday, a get-together party and a quiet hen and stag night. The adjacent cozy Cottage with an en-suite double bedroom and a sofa bed is the 5th bedroom.

June family holiday from USA
All 10 of us had a lovely holiday (5 adults and 5 children.) Beautiful setting, gorgeous views and countryside. Local butchers and post office. We were lucky to be there for the village carnival, so much fun, just like stepping back in time. Terence and Imelda were great hosts, Imelda baked 2 delicious chocolate cakes for us during our stay. Lots of room for us all, My husband and I stayed in the cottage which was comfortable.

70th Birthday Weekend
The Old Mill was a great place to celebrate a birthday with plenty of space for the 3 generations of our family. Imelda's cake was a bonus!

Pegram family
Nice house but a very tired garden also the stairs to the kitchen are shocking & unsafe for young kiddies to walk down also the older generation as very steep very tight very poor design but a nice location but I’d certainly change the stairs as we wouldn’t return purely for that factor

A wonderful weekend
We rented the property for a reunion of 8 women friends over 60 as it provided enough bed space to spread out. It was ideal and we had plenty of laughs going up and down the spiral staircase, some of us with creaking joints! The owners were very helpful and we enjoyed Imelda's chocolate cake. Only thing missing was a folder of instructions for the use of the equipment and numbers such as local doctors etc, and we'd have liked a visitors book to write in.

Girls walking weekend.
Excellent location we could begin our walks directly from the property. Everyone commented that the beds were very comfortable and the lounge had plenty of sofas enough for everyone. The stairs to the kitchen and dining room were a bit steep for some of the older members of our party, but the dinning area was spacious for us to eat in. Good value for money and would recommend.

About the host

Hosted by Terence & Imelda Wood

Host profile image
My name is Terence Wood. I was in the building and civil engineering job but now I am running a self-catering business, The Old Mill and Cottage, for past 18 years with my wife Imelda and we have 3 children. Once in a while children help us when they're no school.

Why they chose this property

Holloway is a lovely quiet rural village where Florence Nightingale family used to live, "a fame to claim." When I was a teenager and playing football I came across this village and said to myself that one day I am going to live here. Yes, I did! I bought 2 houses before then I bought The Old Mill. As a builder sometimes you can project the benefits of the building. It was a derelict when I bought it and I renovated it until it become a house. Part of the property is our living accommodation and part of it is to let, where it is now.
Having The Old Mill and Cottage to let is a blessing for me. No need to travel to work, it is just next door to us. Children help us when they are no school.

What makes this property unique

For the size of the property, it is value for money. There is a grocery shop nearby 500 yards away and the Post Office. The Jug and Glass Restaurant is a mile away. The Maycock Butcher is 700 yards away. Bus Stop next to us. Plenty of walks to go to.
