Stay Beside the River Mel

Ten Rooms, One Unforgettable Setting

With ten boutique bedrooms overlooking the River Mel, Sheene Mill has always been a special destination to stay for the night. Each room is individually designed and complements the original features of the old water mill where possible, echoing the building's sixteenth century origins. Deluxe mattresses and modern refitted bathrooms ensure a restful, comfortable stay in surroundings full of character.

Elegant Rooms With Bags of Charm

Each room at Sheene Mill boasts views across the old Mill Pond and the River Mel. You can expect all the modern comforts alongside original features from this four hundred year old property. All ten rooms have en-suite facilities, and each is designed individually so no two stays are quite alike.

Every room is designed individually, so no two stays are quite alike. Original beams and sloping eaves in some, garden views in others, and a guest lounge to settle into when the day is done.
