Absolutely amazing place. We got married here in January 2020, we had the best day, and returned last week for our second wedding anniversary. I was so emotional, you never loose the wedding day feeling.. we… rebooked for our 3rd anniversary!!! All the team are amazing. Millbrook is so magical and is a place that definitely should be on your bucket list. Your stay will be perfect. The extra touches sets this apart from other places. Take advantage of booking the BBQ hut in the woods, what an experience. Definitely a place we will keep coming back to. Bob and Kate thank you for letting everyone

We got married at Millbrook in June 2021. The whole process from start to finish is seamless. The surroundings are beautiful, the accommodation is lovely and every single thing you could wish for is already thought of and catered for. Whether you're staying for a break away or getting married, you will not be disappointed

'Having had the most unusual and stressful year due to Covid, this completely melted away the moment we drove through Millbrook's gates. Millbrook is magical! It completely surpassed all our expectations and more. The accommodation and grounds are beautiful and everyone who works here goes above and beyond to make your stay perfect. We couldn't… have asked for more throughout our whole stay.
There was a scrummy cake left out for us and fresh bread in the bread maker. Even our dog was welcomed with open arms, a box full of goodies for him, a throw and towel, his own food and water bowl and
