Recently renovated by the current owners this large event space is filled with natural light from large south facing windows, and is packed with original period features from its former use as a corn mill.

The property lies in woodland alongside the canal with beautiful bridges and romantic willow trees if any outside shots are desired. 

The owners offer full catering on request and the nearby town offers accommodation if required.

History and special interest

Solor is a fascinating piece of local history, once a working 18th century corn mill. Records show that the milling here dates back as far as 1310 when it was owned by Robert de Clifford, having been handed to the powerful Clifford family by the then King Edward II.
