🛍 WHAT ELSE DOES THE OLDE WATERMILL HAVE TO OFFER?
Not only is this play barn great for children but it is located in Barton Mill which is a beautiful setting set back in time with a treasure of shops ranging from gifts, toys, plants, Christmas decorations, a fishing shop, sweet shop, psychic read readings, children's little money rides plus lots of others.

😋 FOOD & DRINK
There is a lovely pond with fish to watch, such a tranquil spot! You can sit by the pond under a canopy so you won't get wet and also be served there by the cafe/restaurant where I purchased a Mediterranean and cheese pannini for £6.49, I then added chips for an extra £1.50 ....so yummy!

💖 RECOMMENDED 10/10
This beautiful little treasure in Bedfordshire is more than just a play barn, with lots of things to see, shop, eat & drink!
If you want something to do with or without the children for a relaxing day why not try out this beautiful old mill for a morning/afternoon out. All Ages will love it!
