The Experience
There’s been a working grain mill here since 1327; this one was built in the 1800s. Fragments of the past remain: staircases and floors of oak grown on the estate, grinding stones set into the floor, and the old apple-wood cogs encased in glass. There’s a lovely approach to this stunning conversion, a hugely comfortable retreat for four, with the master bedroom positioned grandly at the top, and below the tiny twin. Cook just-caught brown trout from the river Lyvennet on a shiny black Rangemaster, dine at a handmade oak table furnished with welcoming flowers and a bottle of wine, lounge on a leather sofa by the gas wood-burner, idle with a book on the balcony. By day, venture out on the snaking road past fields of cattle to King’s Meaburn village, to Appleby for delis, pubs and a country fair in summer, to Lowther Castle for those seeking gothic revival grandeur. Nature is embraced indoors, too: the mill has a hidden bat loft with an aperture only accessible to the pipistrelle! Colours are cream and duck-egg blue melting into pale oak, mattresses are superb, shower heads drench you and the peace is supreme.

This was the most amazing place to stay! We had one of the best holidays we can remember. The accommodation was not only of historic interest but beautifully presented and really comfortable. Karen and Martin were extremely welcoming and helpful throughout our stay. Steele's Mill is perfectly situated for hikes around the various lakes whilst not being in the thick of it. This way you combine peace and tranquility with good access to all that the Lakes has to offer.

Our third stay at Steele’s Mill and as wonderful as ever! Such a comfortable house with lots of thoughtful touches to make us welcome. Lovely walks from the door and many more nearby in this beautiful and still relatively undiscovered corner of Cumbria.

Steele's Mill is absolutely enchanting: we went there to be close to the Lake District but ended up loving the house as much as the National Park. The house was spacious, well equipped and full of character but it was the outdoor space that stole our heart. Having a whole field and river to ourselves was magical, especially with small children. Karen's welcome was wonderful too: warm, friendly and very helpful. We will definitely be back.

We spent three nights at Steele's Mill in December, and had the most wonderful time! Unfotunately the weather wasn't on our side (not unexpected in England in December), but we still managed to do some exploring not only of the glorious countryside around the Mill but also the Lakes and the Pennines, which are easy drives away. Most importantly we were able to relax by the gas fire, cook in the (well stocked and beautiful) kitchen, and switch off from the outside world! The dog had an excellent time too! Would 100% reccommend Steele's Mill and we are keen to visit again in the spring.

What a fantastic week's holiday and much of that could be attributed to the beautiful peace and quiet of Steele's Mill. A gorgeous setting and despite the changeable weather of the Lake District we managed to sit outside every day, be it in the sheltered courtyard in the evening or the balcony for breakfast. A lovely warm welcome from Karen, along with hints and tips on the area. A blissful week, the kingfishers were an added bonus.
