About the home

North Mill has 1 double and 1 twin bedded room. The double has an ensuite power shower/loo and the twin has a bathroom attached with power shower and bath,loo etc. There is a sitting/dining room with a piano and antique furniture and paintings. There is a fully fitted new gas kitchen. French windows lead from the sitting room into the garden, with free range chickens, and the river where you can wild swim, canoe and fish. (The house has an annual fishing licence.) Wareham is a delightful market town on the edge of the Purbeck Hills and the Jurassic coast is only 5 miles away.

The walking is fantastic and the miles of sandy beaches at Studland and Swanage are close by. Just across the chain link ferry to Sandbanks you are in Poole and Bournemouth. Corfe Castle must be worth a visit and Lulworth Cove is just 10 minutes away. Inland you can visit Hardy country, his house at Max Gate, Dorchester and Maiden Castle.

A welcome pack of basic groceries is provided and all cleaning products, and I can arrange to take delivery from Tesco or Waitrose if you wish to order on line before you get here.

If you do not feel like shopping and cooking then why not try: www.homecookedhampers.co.uk? Ashley will deliver superb food, all locally sourced and cooked, to the door whenever you want. It's a great idea!

Further details outdoors:
North Mill's garden is shared by the owner and is surrounded by water. It is mainly lawn with trees and shrubs. There are walks along the towpath of the river and across the water meadows into the countryside. The railway station, main line to Waterloo, is a 5 minute walk and the Wareham bypass is across the water meadows. This makes Wareham a quiet little town but with 2 supermarkets, 2 delis, 6 pubs, little shops and various restaurants of differing quality!

The garden

The West Country / Dorset region

Dorset is becoming rather well known now and you do not just pass it by on the route to Devon and Cornwall. But there is so much to do and see in this small county from lovely sandy beaches, rocky coves, seemingly undiscovered villages and little country lanes leading to undiscovered places.

The famous places like Corfe Castle, Studland beach, Worth Matravers, Lulworth Cove are all within easy distance of the mill but the interior of Dorset is well worth a visit and trips to Dorchester, Sherborne, Weymouth, Chesil Beach, Lyme Regis etc. are a must for anyone wanting to discover the delights of this county.

The Wareham area

Wareham is situated between 2 rivers, the Piddle and the Frome and is surrounded by the Saxon Walls, an ancient monument and well worth the walk around. It is full of history and the museum is a great visit. Market days are Thursday and Saturday and every 2 weeks there is a furniture and artefacts auction in the East Street salerooms.

There is an annual carnival in August and the town is closed for the parade. Corfe Castle is a short drive away and the Swanage Railway puts on steam trains all year round and soon the steam is coming back to Wareham. You will then be able to 'bucket and spade it' all the way to Swanage and leave the car behind.

North Mill is situated on the River Piddle in Wareham, Dorset. Head for the Town Centre, over the bridge of the Piddle and turn sharp right up Shatters Hill just after the Rapidfit garage on your right. At the top of the hill turn right opposite Mill Lane and drive over the pavement and down the footpath. The Mill is at the bottom of the footpath. There is plenty of parking once you get there!

“serious cleaning required” Firstly to say the owner Sally was helpful and personable. The cottage is idyllically set by a strong tidal river and although wild swimming is in the description, I feel this would be extremely... more Response: I was slightly dismayed by these comments as I really put myself out to help with information etc. The wild swimming is fantastic and the next family were in the river every day.

“"Best of British!"” Forget the weather and just induldge in this oh so British setting by the river. The 800 year old building just oozes characture and charm with a modicum of modern day conveniences. The garden with friendly chickens supplying the eggs, the sea trout jumping in the river along with the local swans, the abundant flora and superb hospitality of Sally the owner made this such a special holiday.

“Home From Home - with extras!” With Sally's hospitality, the peaceful location and comfort of North Mill, we had a perfect relaxing holiday. Lots of nature to observe; chickens in the garden, fish in the river, all sorts of birds including a flash of kingfishers darting about, cows in the field and the odd friendly local too! So peaceful and traquil - perfik!

“A home away from home” From start to finish, our stay at North Mill was perfect. The house is beautiful, well appointed with all comforts and in a great location. The landlady is a fount of knowledge on the area, very helpful and even offered to baby sit our 18 month old.

“Warm welcome in a historic watermill” An old watermill at the northern end of the nice town of Wareham with typical (at least what we foreigners think) english furniture. Beside a small river with swans and ducks, there is a very nice garden with chicken. The owner was very kind an helpful in any situation. She surprised us with flowers and great home made jams. The fridge was filled!

“Fantastic!!!” We had a fabulous time at the cottage. Myself and my husband went with our two boys age 9 and 7 in July 2011. The cottage and its setting are just fantastic and Sally was a wonderful host. We couldnt fault it in any way!!!

“A peaceful and charming location.” North Mill, Wareham is a must for a romantic break, peaceful getaway or, like us, a family holiday (children aged 9 & 12). Our host was very welcoming and knowledgeable about the area. Thank you Sally for the tips of which beaches and restaurants to try. The accommodation facilities are 1st class. The bedrooms, especially the beds, were so comfortable, that during our stay I had the best nights sleep in ages. The garden and River Piddle were the highlight for me. Don't forget your fishing tackle and license, as our youngest caught an eel and a Rainbow Trout in one afternoon. Perfectly located for the cream of Dorset: Corfe Castle, Tyneham Village, Arne RSPB reserve, Swanage (on the steam train is a MUST), Poole and Brownsea Island, to name just a few all within a short drive. A fantastic riverside location, a beautiful holiday home and a welcoming host; all together a perfect holiday which we would recommend and repeat at the drop of a hat! Thank you once again for sharing North Mill with us Sally.
