“We thoroughly enjoyed our week’s stay here.”

The cottage is beautiful, clean & well equipped though the showers have very poor flow. The grandchildren were looking forward to the trampoline which was depicted in the photo & write up of the cottage but was dismantled away. Apart from that we liked the peace & quiet. Beaches at West Bay, Weymouth, Lulworth Cove & Ringstead Bay are worth visiting. Would highly recommend The Langham Winery for lunch. ( August 2019)

“I have sent an email to property managers at Dream Cottages and cc Sykes.”

(Not sure which is the company as two names here.) It says open fires but these are not allowed at the property. There is a hornets nest in the thatch. Various other issues raised in my email regarding fire retardant furniture, awful mattresses and sofas, chipped mugs and plates. Nothing for dogs ie bowls. Irritating little messages everywhere. Would not go back and if this is your standard would not use Skyes/Dream cottages again. Think the owners visit car boot sales for the cottage. Stuff everywhere. Poor cleaner working around this!

“Excellent cottage ,ideally located for visiting round the area ...”

Excellent cottage ,ideally located for visiting round the area Does need some work doing (patio has some trip hazards) and a light switch for the lounge by the stairs would be helpful rather than across the room by the door If you need somewhere for great food and service we most definatly recommend The Hambro Arms

“THE HOUSE IS COMFORTABLE , CLEAN AND ONCE YOU SETTLE IN YOU START TO APPRECIATE THE SETTING , THE GARDEN AND THE SILENCE .”

THE GARDEN IS VERY WELL KEPT . VERY NEAR TO MILTON ABBAS . I NEVER REALIZED THAT THERE WAS ONLY ONE SMALL BATHROOM FOR SUCH A BIG HOUSE AND WOULD RECOMMEND ADDING A SECOND ONE . OVER ALL A VERY GOOD EXPERIENCE .

The property

Milton Mills Cottage is a pretty thatched cottage located a mile away from the quaint Dorset village of Milton Abbas. A quintessential cottage with it's beamed ceilings and a non-functioning inglenook fireplace.

The property is surrounded by a garden which is perfect for enjoying the Dorset country sounds of bird song whilst eating alfresco.

Milton Mills cottage is a two-cottages made into one which makes it a unique holiday home for family gathering or friends looking for a getaway to the countryside with children.

The property will spoil with a choice of activities and games for little ones.

There’s a wooden cot as well as high chair in the property with a lot of toys and outdoor games. There is an upstairs and downstairs joining passageway linking the two cottages with two stairs to the first floor leading to all bedrooms.

Twin single room has a walkthrough spare double room with a wooden cot leading to another double room.

One bathroom on the ground floor and one shower room on the first floor is at your convenience. Chill out on the sofa and enjoy a good read in the evening before going to bed and just think about the history of the place that goes back few centuries.

The village of Milton Abbas will have not one but a few stories to tell, if you enjoy exploring and getting to know a bit of history. Running through the centre of the village is arguably one of the prettiest streets in Dorset.

Rows of white-washed thatched cottages stretch up the hill to the horizon.

A short stroll up the hill will reward you with a visit to the popular Hambro Arms, a pet and child friendly pub serving a variety of meals and traditional ales.

A post office also supplies basic groceries.

Milton Abbey, around a half a mile walk from the village is worth a visit if you are interested in history; it has been the site of an Abbey since 933 and the current Abbey dates from around 1309.

The market town of Blandford Forum is a short drive away and as well as being good for shopping it is notable for its attractive Georgian architecture which was erected when it was mostly rebuilt after a fire in 1731.

With the Dorset coast around 40 minutes’ drive away another good option for a day trip is to enjoy the local world heritage coastline. Unique thatched cottage perfectly located to explore Dorset countryside and get to know the
