"What a perfect few days! Such a privilege to stay at Mill Hill Cottage, beautifully restored with every comfort. A superb blend of ancient and modern!"
Mill Hill Cottage was built as a farm worker's cottage circa 1750 and is a fine example of the vernacular 'mud and stud' style of architecture unique to Lincolnshire. Nestling in its cottage garden it was sensitively repaired and converted to holiday accommodation by The Heritage Trust of Lincolnshire , who in recognition of their work using traditional building, received a prestigious Civic Trust award in 2001. The building is now marketed and managed by The Vivat Trust.
The cottage is an outstanding example of only 200 'mud and stud' cottages which have survived into the 21st century and it has retained many of its original features, including extant thatching, a brick bread oven and a bell-shaped well.
Situated in a patchwork landscape of fields, the cottage lies on the edge of the Lincolnshire Wolds, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and is the perfect place to escape the stresses of modern life.
With the eagerly anticipated release of Dan Brown's 'Da Vinci Code', Mill Hill also offers a great place from which to explore several of the film locations. These include the stunning Lincoln Cathedral, which stars as Westminster Abbey, also Belvoir Castle which featured as 'Castel Gondolfo' in the film and the beautiful stately home Burghley House, which provided numerous and varied locations for the film.
