Gants Mill & Garden
Type: Farm
Between fields of sheep, in the valley of the River Brue are the historic watermill and Gants Mill farmhouse. Running down to the river is Alison’s lovely garden, where guests can relax and unwind. In the farmhouse are two spacious ensuite bedrooms with lacy fourposter double beds – stargazer beds for romantics (picture on the website). One room also has a single bed, so can be a twin room. There’s also a single room. Wide choice of healthy and wicked breakfasts with local produce, and excellent local pubs and restaurants. Miller Brian can take you round the historic watermill, which grinds corn with the Victorian turbine, and generates electricity with the new turbine. Lambs are everywhere in the spring or look around the fields and river for badgers, foxes, buzzards, woodpeckers and (if lucky) – kingfishers. Plenty of walks starting from Gants Mill. Near Stourhead Gardens, Wells, Wookey Hole, Montacute and Longleat.
