Customer Reviews
The cafe serves delicious food! We had the vegan toastie which was generously filled and vegan cake which was honestly one of the best I've ever had. The gift shop is very sweet and we chatted with one of the mill workers in the weaving room. Lovely to see it in operation. Only a small museum but there's a few things for kids to do too
A heritage silk mill to enjoy some hours with such interesting facts about silks. The mill has a clear Tets river running through and ducks- so peacefully for you to enjoy brunch/ coffee and nice cake there after your visit. Nice village to walk around in Hampshire. Also there are Some nice gifts to buy here if you want.
As a tailor I had a vested interest in visiting the Mill, but it was better than I hoped. Unlike most museums with static displays this is a working Mill so you can actually experience the process. Take the tour to get the most out of it and then relax beside the river and duck pond with a coffee. Highly recommended.
