More about Littleton Mill
Littleton Mill is a 17th Century Wiltshire water mill that has been lovingly restored by owners Melissa and Richard Kendall into a health and wellbeing retreat centre and home.
The Mill is set in ten acres of woodland and meadows and is situated on Semington Brook, minutes away from the Kennet and Avon Canal. It houses a large yoga space with original beams and gorgeous views out over the water. There are five double and twin rooms, some en-suite and some with shared bathrooms, all finished to a high standard. |

We care deeply about the impacts the Mill and our business have on the natural environment and wish to tread lightly. These are the things we have done so far to make a difference to how we live here
Energy and water use
Littleton Mill is one of the most environmentally sustainable houses in the UK. It is run entirely on renewable energy created from a hydroelectric turbine and biomass (wood pellet) boiler. Most of the energy we generate here is exported to the grid, swhich makes us more than carbon neutral - we are carbon positive!
Although we have a lot of clean energy we still aim to reduce our energy use. Our property is heavily insulated to improve its thermal efficiency and we have LEDs and low energy lights, water saving devices, such as low flush WCs and water efficient showers, and policies and practices to encourage guests to minimise their use of energy and water during retreats. |
