The Millhouse Hotel and Restaurant at Swallowfield is a fine Georgian House which dates back to 1823 and was formerly the home of the 1st Duke of Wellington. It is set in beautiful landscaped gardens beside the River Loddon.
In March 1994 Les and Pam Banks and Mark and Kim Pybus as a family acquired the Millhouse Hotel and have subsequently restored and refurbished the Hotel whilst still retaining its original character. With their joint expertise they have established an excellent and favoured venue for weddings, conferences and all kinds of celebrations and events and a enviable reputation for their fine cuisine, holding an AA Rosette Award.
The Hotel has two rooms licensed for civil wedding ceremonies to accommodate up to 120 people.
We also offer the Duke's Marquee which is set in our landscaped garden thus preserving its existing charm. The Marquee can cater for up to 150 people seated and 180 for evening celebrations and is fully self contained, featuring a covered walkway to the Hotel where a guest lounge is available.
