MILL OF BLACKHALL
Mill of Blackhall (a Grade 2 listed
building) was built in the sixteenth century, using the warm red
sandstone typical of the area. Extended in the seventeenth
century, it has now been converted into a house which retains features
of previous eras, including the waterwheel. Exposed beams, arched
doorways and traditional flagstones, combined with period furniture,
oriental rugs, timber floors and views over fields to a small trout
stream, create a setting of character for a relaxing holiday close to
numerous attractions. Sleeps 6/8. From £350 p.w.

and flagged and gravelled areas. The waterwheel is stationary and
is secured by a chain. |
