Robert United Kingdom

We enjoyed our stay at the Mill. It would have been helped by better information as to location and access which is along a gravel lane some distance from the main road. The owners have clearly spent a great deal of time in the interior design of this property which is contemporary and provides excellent accomodation for guests. The breakfast was self service and offered a healthy range of options. The bedroom was spacious and the en-suite was well provided for;

Host Info

Company review score: 8.9 Based on 5,651 reviews from 38 properties

11 years of experience

Company info

The Mill and the Barn were home to our cabinet making business, which until 2016 produced some of the world’s finest furniture and wooden accessories, supplying shops such as Asprey, Harrods, Fortnum & Masons and Linley. In 2017 we began the conversion of our timber machine shop, known as a ‘mill’ into guest accommodation, giving another lease of life to this already historic little piece of England.

Property info

Situated in Suffolk between Bury St Edmunds and Thetford, this is a home away from home for travelling professionals, nature lovers and outdoor sports junkies. The property was built as farm laborers’ cottages in the 1850s by the Fitzroy family on their country estate at Euston. When looking for a suitable name, they settled on New Zealand Cottages, as the then head of the family, the Duke of Grafton, was the first Governor of the recently colonized New Zealand. The cottages were, perhaps coincidentally, located on the extreme edge of the estate, just as New Zealand found itself on the far edges of the empire. The barns and cottages that make up the property were lived in by farm workers for nearly 120 years. Home to four families, at one stage we know that nearly 30 children were living at New Zealand Cottages, and it was a favorite haunt not just for them, but also children from neighboring farms. If you listen carefully, you can still sometimes catch the sound of giggling from the rafters.

Neighborhood info

We are ideally located for access to Bury, Thetford, Lavenham, Snetterton and Euston Hall, as well as the Peddars' and Icknield Ways. There is plenty to do in the local area whatever your interests.
