Hello, I was born in Cape Town, South Africa, and have lived in the UK since 1990. My husband's family have been farming in Ivinghoe since the 1930's and we started converting some of the barns in to holiday accommodation in 1995. If you have any queries about the area or the best places to visit, please let us know and we would be delighted to help you.

The Mill is a two storey barn conversion, with sitting and dining room on the ground floor, together with a fully equipped kitchen. Upstairs there are three bedrooms and family bathroom. The property has views over Ivinghoe Beacon to the front, and has a bench outside the front door for the property's own use.

We love the area because you can be in the middle of the countryside one minute and hopping on the train for a 50 minute ride to London the next. The Chilterns offer a wide variety of activities, from National Trust properties, walking through the bluebell woodlands, driving through the picturesque "Midsomer" villages, to visiting Tring Zoological museum, swooping down the real snow in Milton Keynes Snozone, or playing Top Golf in Watford. All within 30/40 minutes of the farm. We are also close to the Grand Union Canal which stretches from London to Birmingham and which offers leisurely walks and boat hire. We are also only around an hour from Stratford on Avon, a little further to Oxford and Cambridge, and is a good basis for sightseeing. We are a ten minute drive to Tring Station, which can take you to London Euston in 40 minutes. There is a local bus service in Ivinghoe village, which is a ten minute walk away. A car is recommended.
