We\u2019ve got lots of benches dotted around the grounds, so you can sit and take in the surroundings and we\u2019ve been taking full advantage of them at lunch time.

Helen, deVOL\u2019s creative Director, does an amazing job at keeping the showrooms looking fresh and new. Recently, deVOL have renovated the Mill House and it now contains a Shaker kitchen painted in their sophisticated new Printer\u2019s Black colour, along with a rather striking San Simone quartzite worktop. There\u2019s also lots of treasures to find amongst the kitchen displays, so it\u2019s well worth a visit.<\/p>\n<p><div class=\"sharer\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.floorsofstone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Millhouse-DSC_9291-HDR.jpg\"><ul id=\"socialshare\"><!--<li class=\"fb\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/dialog\/share?app_id=688330137993706&display=popup&href=https:\/\/www.floorsofstone.com\/blog\/beautiful-cotes-mill\/?img=https:\/\/www.floorsofstone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Millhouse-DSC_9291-HDR.jpg\"><\/a><\/li><li class=\"tw\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?url=https:\/\/www.floorsofstone.com\/blog\/beautiful-cotes-mill\/&text=Beautiful Cotes Mill\"><\/a><li>--><li class=\"pt\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/pin\/create\/button?&url=https:\/\/www.floorsofstone.com\/blog\/beautiful-cotes-mill\/&media=https:\/\/www.floorsofstone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Millhouse-DSC_9291-HDR.jpg\"><\/a><li><\/ul><\/div><\/p>\n<p><div class=\"sharer\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.floorsofstone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/deVOL_ShakerShowroomDSC_1401.jpg\"><ul id=\"socialshare\"><!--<li class=\"fb\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/dialog\/share?app_id=688330137993706&display=popup&href=https:\/\/www.floorsofstone.com\/blog\/beautiful-cotes-mill\/?img=https:\/\/www.floorsofstone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/deVOL_ShakerShowroomDSC_1401.jpg\"><\/a><\/li><li class=\"tw\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?url=https:\/\/www.floorsofstone.com\/blog\/beautiful-cotes-mill\/&text=Beautiful Cotes Mill\"><\/a><li>--><li class=\"pt\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/pin\/create\/button?&url=https:\/\/www.floorsofstone.com\/blog\/beautiful-cotes-mill\/&media=https:\/\/www.floorsofstone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/deVOL_ShakerShowroomDSC_1401.jpg\"><\/a><li><\/ul><\/div><\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve just added our new Planks &amp; Parquet displays to the showroom, and they can be found up on the mezzanine.

The ceramics studio, a cosy haven in the winter, becomes a little unbearable on a hot, sunny day. That\u2019s not to say she hasn\u2019t been hard at work though. After lots of experimenting to make the perfect shade, she\u2019s created some gorgeous tiles in the most exquisite blush pink colour. They\u2019ve been a massive hit on social media and we hope to create and add some more tempting glazes if pink isn\u2019t quite your thing.<\/p>\n<p><div class=\"sharer\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.floorsofstone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/DSC_0070-Edit.jpg\"><ul id=\"socialshare\"><!--<li class=\"fb\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/dialog\/share?app_id=688330137993706&display=popup&href=https:\/\/www.floorsofstone.com\/blog\/beautiful-cotes-mill\/?img=https:\/\/www.floorsofstone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/DSC_0070-Edit.jpg\"><\/a><\/li><li class=\"tw\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?url=https:\/\/www.floorsofstone.com\/blog\/beautiful-cotes-mill\/&text=Beautiful Cotes Mill\"><\/a><li>--><li class=\"pt\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/pin\/create\/button?&url=https:\/\/www.floorsofstone.com\/blog\/beautiful-cotes-mill\/&media=https:\/\/www.floorsofstone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/DSC_0070-Edit.jpg\"><\/a><li><\/ul><\/div><\/p>\n<p>If you want to explore Cotes Mill for yourself, you\u2019re more than welcome.
