A quaint, diminutive chapel set on the bank of the Monument River (also called the Baviaans), it flanks the stone steps leading down into its causeway. You can follow these to the Raymond Crowley gardens, orchard and graveyard.

The Traveller's Chapel was originally built to house gas-generating equipment, which was used to light the village. The building was converted into a chapel dedicated to George Rawdon, David Rawdon’s father.

There's a quietly burbling fountain at its entrance. It's a unique and beautiful space for special weddings, ceremonies of all kinds as well as for quiet reflection.

A grand experience

Well worth the trip, staying at the Lord Milner takes one back a century. It is like living in a museum, with all the grandeur of days gone by.

5 out of 5 for tasty hot food

5 out of 5 for piping hot food It is so rare that your main course and Malva pudding are delivered piping hot. The Lamb chops were extremely tasty and made more tasty because they were piping hot. Also served on hot plates. The historical ambience and Pub Piano player really add to a most memorable visit. Highly recommended
Another excellent visit to the Lord Milner Hotel

Step back in time and treat yourself to a visit to this historic hotel. I have visited around once a year for the past decade and always enjoy the friendliness and the history of the buildings and surroundings. The Laird's Arms is one of my favorite pubs anywhere in th world.
Fantastic - Must Visit!

This is a must add to your bucket list. Oom Johnny and the red bus made the trip extra special especially the entertainment he provided in the pub. Super friendly service for ALL staff and excellent food. Thanks for making our Christmas eve supper one to remember.
