Third visit, but first time going through the mill. Fascinating and the staff prove a good visitor experience is all about the passion and knowledge of the staff rather than screen based interactives.
The coffee and food were as delicious as ever.
*Did not go through the museum* - stopped for a wander through the shop, grabbed an ice-cream and enjoyed the grounds. Based on what I saw it was a lovely addition to a short walk around the town. One of the most pleasant places I've had a sit for a lunch snack in a while.
Close parking but imagine

Lovely calm, relaxed setting. Beautiful setting. Very helpful, informed staff. Easy accessibility. Excellent café.
A really great family day out. The welcome from the staff was excellent, the cafe good, and the actual mill was really interesting with informative displays. The children’s area over summer ‘23 in the display space was also great.
