DILSTON MILL |
|
Susan and Jan Ketelaar welcome you to their unique home, a converted historic watermill on the banks of Devils Water in Northumberland. This unspoiled and uncrowded area is one of England's best kept secrets and our Mill has been a witness to its dramatic and colourful history back to the Middle Ages with links further back to Roman and Anglo-Saxon times.
Dilston Mill is in a secluded but convenient position. We are only one mile from Corbridge and two from Hexham. These charming and historic towns with Roman remains and ancient churches also offer excellent dining and other amenities, including a theatre, cinema, swimming pool and country park. Dilston Mill is set in an area of outstanding natural beauty with a rich heritage from the Romans of Hadrians Wall to medieval castles, bastles and pele towers of the untamed 17th century Reivers and classic country houses and gardens.
We are also close to all modern sporting (golf, fishing, watersports, pony trekking, cycling, walking) and leisure amenities and the vibrant entertainments, nightlife and shopping of Newcastle, Gateshead and the Metrocentre. In addition, the world heritage site of Durham Cathedral and Castle, Beamish outdoor museum, Kielder lake, coastal beaches, hills, moorland and the Scottish borders are all within easy reach on modern, often uncrowded, roads. And if you venture off the main roads, you will probably have the place to yourself!
Our visitors are special; we host only one party at a time in each of our B&B Suites.
In a beautiful riverside position, Dilston Mill can be your relaxing base with fresh fruit, teas, coffee and biscuits always available. Our substantial breakfasts are appreciated by our visitors and will set you up for active days of sightseeing, shopping, business and fun. If you wish, we can provide information, suggestions and make arrangements to help make your visit special.
