We had a really lovely visit to Bindon Mill - what a home!! It really is gorgeous. We had a perfect summer's day for strolling in the grounds carpeted with primroses, violets, daffodils and much more. Sally Weld provided a sumptuous light lunch for us and made us feel very welcome. All of our members thought this visit was one of the best!!
The tour was informative, friendly and unrushed, the refreshments were plentiful and generous and the house and gardens were exquisite.
All went very smoothly and Sally Weld was a charming and interesting host and nothing was too much trouble for our members. We all enjoyed a wonderful lunch and despite the drizzle had a lovely tour of the gardens with views of the Abbey ruins.
