Mill Lodge at Burcott Mill, is a unique holiday apartment which offers modern comforts in an historic setting. The first Burcott Mill was built for the Bishop of Wells around 950AD. Today, we are both a commercial mill and a working museum, spanning 1,900 years of British milling history. We use our 1,000-year-old water channel to operate 140-year-old machinery, to produce our handcrafted organic wholemeal flour. Mill Lodge links two of the mill’s working areas – the Stone Floor where our flour is made and, above it, the Granary where our grain is stored. From the privacy of your accommodation, you have exclusive viewing onto the Stone Floor. On one level there is an open plan kitchen and dining area, twin bedroom, and bathroom. Upstairs is the living room (double sofa bed) and a galleried play area. Mill Lodge is accessed from a courtyard which houses the waterwheel and other mill workings. Here you will also find our tea room, open weekends Easter to October. Within our grounds are an adventure playground, picnic area and a variety of small animals and wildfowl. Mill Lodge is accessed via a steep stone staircase (with handrail). It may not be suitable for very small children, the very elderly, or people with walking difficulties. England’s smallest City, Wells, is one mile away: Cathedral, Bishop’s Palace, twice-weekly market. Mystical Glastonbury is a 15-minute drive: Arthurian legends, the Abbey and Tor.
