Hopper Loft
Our smallest room, tucked under the eaves with a dormer reading chair and a straight view down the weir. Best for solo travellers who want the water close.
From $155 / night
Grain floors, now for sleeping
Lofts
Twelve lofts fill the upper storeys of the mill, each shaped by the beams and hoist-beams that were already there. We added comfort quietly and left the character alone.
How the lofts are arranged
The mill rises four storeys above the millrace. Lofts on the lower floors sit closest to the water and carry its steady sound; higher lofts trade a little of that for longer views over the orchard and the weir quarter rooftops. Every room includes wool bedding, blackout shutters behind the original louvres, a kettle with valley-grown tea, and a small writing desk salvaged from the old mill office.
We keep the house deliberately small, so booking is a conversation rather than a transaction. Guest relations will talk you through which loft suits a light sleeper, which has the deepest tub, and which sits far enough from the courtyard that the optional evening room is never heard. Cornmere is a restful base first — a gateway to the riverfront when you want it, and a place to ignore the world when you do not.
The lofts
Sluice Loft
A snug double beside the old sluice gate, with a window seat wide enough for two and morning light from the east.
From $185 / night
Millrace Loft
Corner room where two shuttered windows meet above the channel. The sound of falling water is strongest here — most guests sleep better for it.
From $210 / night
Orchard Loft
Faces the cider orchard rather than the water, so it is the quietest room in the house. Blossom in spring, lantern light in autumn.
From $200 / night
Granary Suite
The whole old grain floor: a sitting area under the roof trusses, a deep cast-iron tub, and windows on three sides. Our room for long stays.
From $320 / night
Hoist Loft
Built around the restored sack hoist, with a raised bed platform and a private balcony over the weir pool. Two guests, no more.
From $295 / night
In every loft
- Wool duvets and linen sheets, changed on request rather than by default
- Blackout shutters set behind the mill's original timber louvres
- Kettle, stoneware, and loose-leaf tea grown in the valley
- Reclaimed-elm floors with underfloor warmth on the water-side rooms
- A writing desk and lamp from the old mill office
- Filtered still and sparkling water, refilled daily in glass
Rates are for two guests where the loft allows it and include breakfast in the Granary. Taxes are added at confirmation. We hold rooms with a card but take no payment through this website — every stay begins with a note or a call.
