FSC Flatford Mill Accommodation

FSC Flatford Mill sits in beautiful Constable Country, amidst the quintessentially English countryside of the Dedham Vale in Suffolk on the banks of the River Stour. Visitors will stay in our historically rich buildings either Willy Lotts’ House, famous by John Constable’s ‘Haywain’ painting or Valley Farm, a medieval great hall built in the 1450’s, and of course the Mill itself that was owned and renovated by the Constable family in the 1700’s.
