Old Mill House Log Cabins

Old Mill House Log Cabins - Historic glamping cabins with river views, eco-friendly amenities, and a peaceful countryside setting

Set within a historic building and surrounded by gardens, Old Mill House Log Cabins offers a riverside glamping experience with access to a patio, terrace, and a private bathroom featuring a shower and compost toilet. The campground consists of two wooden cabins, each equipped with a desk, a seating area with a fireplace, a fully equipped kitchenette with a stovetop and kitchenware, and an outdoor dining area with barbecue facilities. All units include a double bed, a sofa bed, and linens, while the private deck provides views of the river, garden, or lake. An optional full English breakfast is available each morning, prepared by hosts Rod and Innes. The cabins use battery-powered USB charging points and a wood burner for heating, with free logs supplied. The property features a large field, a garden with lakes and streams, and ample space for children and pets. Located 22 km from Golden Cap, the cabins are a 10-minute walk from a local pub and within a 30-minute drive of Weymouth Harbour and Monkey World. No WiFi or TV is provided, encouraging a disconnected stay.
