Set in 21 acres with a large lake miles away from anyone, Ravenbridge is a delightful place for a family holiday. A stunning old building comprisin six bedrooms (four double, two twin), four shower rooms (two with baths), two lounges, separate games room with pool table. Wood burning sauna. Trampoline and badminton net, plus kayaks for the lake too. There was never a time when anyone was bored! Birds flitting in and out of the garden; bats roosting above the west wing bedroom. The phone signal isn't good, but there is wifi so you can stay connected. Ample parking and gated garden with two separate seating areas. Kitchen well equipped with fridge/freezer and under counter fridge, rangemaster oven, microwave, dishwasher, washing machine and tumble drier. We had arranged an online delivery which stocked us up well. Some of the bedrooms don't have curtains (ours had a skylight right over the bed). No issue for me, but my OH likes things very dark. Kenneth, the host is lovely and very accommodating. After reading his book and wathcing You Tube videos, we now regret not asking him to play for us whilst we were there. Will definitely do the next time we go - and we will, most definitely be back!

Arrived and parked was amazed went in more amazement and the whole weekend just kept getting better would recommend it to anyone

Lovey house and grounds and the host is great. The cottage is a little bit out is the sticks but it's peaceful and great for star gazing. Really enjoyed the stay with the whole family and dogs 🐕 Would highly recommend 👌

We spent a fantastic week at Ravenbridge Mill. We were lucky with the weather and spent the 1st 3 days within the house and grounds because there was so much to do there. We loved swimming and canoeing in the lake and made use of the sauna. The walk around the lake is lovely and ideal for walking the dogs. The children loved the trampoline, games room and the dressing up boxes and we all enjoyed playing pool and badminton. The house is in such a peaceful location that it was easy to switch off from the outside world. Kenneth was lovely to chat to and we enjoyed the flapjacks he made us. The house itself is amazing, but don't expect all mod cons and sleek lines, it's a very quirky old building with uneven floors, stone staircase etc but if you like that sort of thing you will love it! We definitely did!! Really hope we can get back there one day!

What a magical place! We had a weekend to remember! A swim, sauna and a steady paddle around the lake was the relaxation we needed. Did not want to leave but feel refreshed and content after our wonderful country retreat. Thanks Kenneth!

Ravenbridge Mill is a very special place - perfect for large family gatherings. There is so much for everyone to do - the lake is amazing for wild swimming and canoeing, the forest sauna is so relaxing and the house is really comfortable. The local countryside is beautiful with great walks from the front door. It is truly magical. Thanks to Kenneth for being an amazing host as ever!

Had a fantastic week at Ravenbridge Mill. The cottage is stunning and set in amazing grounds. Everything about the place is so beautiful and peaceful. Kenneth the host is very dedicated to offering all his guests the best experience possible....and he certainly does. Would highly reccomend.

We have recently returned from a magical and unforgettable weekend at Ravenbridge Mill where we celebrated my husband's 40th with family. The house and grounds are beautiful and full of character and Kenneth was a very welcome host (the homemade flapjacks on the table were delicious!). Communication was excellent from the time we booked, through checking in and checking out. As he was close by, it was reassuring that he was on hand for anything that we may have needed over the weekend. The house itself was spacious, cosy and well stocked. We had two babies/toddlers with us and Kenneth even ordered a cot and high chair for us specially. The grounds were incredible with a lake (and canoes!), apple trees (which made for a delicious apple crumble), river and woodland to explore. It was a calm and serene setting and we all left feeling relaxed and refreshed. We will definitely be going back soon and would highly recommend to others!

If you're excited by the pictures of Ravenbridge Mill, rest assured that the reality is (somehow) even more magnificent! My oldest friend and I brought our families together - from opposite ends of the UK - to spend a week here together. We swam in the lake, and enjoyed the beautiful sauna, which looks out over the water. With the blessing of our kind host Kenneth, the children picked apples and plums from the trees to eat as they played. And there's a family-sized trampoline that my 2yr old will never forgive us for leaving behind! The house is full of character and incredibly spacious. As another reviewer commented, it's very well arranged so that different families can coexist extremely comfortably without ever feeling on top of one another. And the ground floor bedroom is a big plus for anyone travelling with older relatives or those with limited mobility. We cooked up a storm in the double height kitchen, which is lovingly designed and splendidly equipped. The river rushes through behind the house making for the best washing up view of all time :) The sound is so calming... I'm sure it was instrumental in our little boy sleeping 12 hours straight (now that's what I call a holiday!) We recommend Ravenbridge Mill in the highest terms. Huge thanks to Kenneth for such a warm welcome, great humour and for sharing your bonfire & baked potatoes with us! We'll be back.

What a place! We stayed at Ravenbridge Mill a couple of weeks ago for my husband's 40th for a week. We were bowled over by the sheer beauty of the house and its grounds, and were particularly enamoured with the lake and sauna. The house is fab inside and there lots of rooms to explore and play hide and seek in. I appreciated the fact that we weren't on top of each other too. Loads of bathrooms too which is always appreciated. The kitchen is well appointed, and has a big arga-type stove and 2 ovens, perfect if you're cooking for a lot of people. There's also a view of the stream from the kitchen window, with nice walks beyond the (I think, private) bridge over the stream, which even has a seat on it! There are so many things for the kids to do, but I can totally imagine coming back to this house with a bunch of friends too. Kenneth who runs things was unobtrusive but very helpful when we needed direction towards things. He even gave us some freshly picked beetroot which was fab! Highly recommended.
