We try to make use of the wonderful local food at The Mill
wherever
possible, both because it tastes good and because we are trying to live
in a sustainable manner with concern for our environment. We grow our
own organic vegetables and fruit, and use them wherever we can. If you
are interested in buying local food after you have tasted how good it
is, we can signpost you to some excellent food producers.
The Mill is directly opposite the local pub, the Lloyney
Inn, which
offers food on every evening except Mondays. There is also a really
good restaurant approximately one mile away, the Waterdine,
in the
village of Llanfair Waterdine, plus numerous other excellent eating
places. For this reason, we only offer evening meals on Mondays unless
there are exceptional reasons for your needing to eat with us in the
evening. If this is the case, please let us know in advance of your
arrival.

Packed lunches
Many of our visitors are walking or cycling, and a packed
lunch can be
provided at a cost of £4, on request the night before you
need it. Lunches will always include sandwiches, rolls or wraps, crisps
(vegetable if requested in advance), fruit, cake and a small drink.

Drinks
Our rooms are small and it is not easy to make tea and coffee
available
in each room. For this reason, you may make your own in the kitchen
whenever you wish, and enjoy our home-made cake and biscuits at no
extra charge.

Clothes and boots
If you are on a walking or cycling holiday, you may need to
clean up
and dry your boots and clothing. We can help with this, and even run a
wash through the washing machine if necessary.

Travel
There is a railway station 1 mile from The Mill at Knucklas (next to a
very important Victorian viaduct!), and we are
happy to collect you
from the station if you are travelling by public transport, and take
you there on your return. There is a local bus service from Knighton,
which will link to services to and from Shrewsbury, Ludlow, Hereford
and beyond if required. See our travel and environmental
statements for
further details.

Bicycles
Bicycle storage is available, and is secured. We can collect
your
luggage from the station and leave you to cycle the mile or so to the
Mill if you wish. We also have a mountain bike which may
occasionally be available for use at your own risk.

Studio Space
We have a large, well-lit studio
in the garden which is available to
visitors. The studio is situated at first floor level, and is reached
via ten external steps. It has running water, a hotplate, microwave and
kettle plus three tables and chairs. Use of a small etching press may
be arranged if required. The studio is currently unheated, and so
unsuitable for Winter and early Spring use unless you are prepared to
wrap up warmly. We offer special group rates for four or more visitors
using the studio over a week-end or longer. Please ask for current
prices and advise us in advance if you would like to take advantage of
this facility.
