Powdermills is located in a Georgian country house surrounded by nature and features 55 rooms and suites. The property includes a restaurant, pub, cocktail bar, members’ club, craft barn, art studio, and outdoor pool. Programming includes workshops, cultural experiences, and a focus on local food production through on-site growing plots.
Crafted has implemented the Mews hospitality operating system across reservations, food and beverage, and venue management to streamline operations and support its service model. The platform connects with solutions such as Lightspeed POS and Event Temple to automate daily tasks and reduce manual processes, allowing staff to maintain consistency across multiple guest touchpoints.
“We want everything to be easy – for our guests and for our team,” said Chris King, Founder of Crafted. “I’ve already found my way around Mews and we’re not even live yet. The intuitive platform gives us flexibility and integrates effortlessly with our systems, helping us deliver a modern, seamless experience from booking to check out.”
“Crafted at Powdermills is reimagining what hospitality in nature can be,” added Matt Welle, CEO of Mews. “We’re proud to support a brand that prioritizes wellness, creativity, and connection, using technology to make every guest journey effortless.”
The launch of Powdermills marks the beginning of Crafted’s broader expansion plan. The brand aims to open additional properties in the UK and internationally, each shaped by a “life-friendly” approach to hospitality that blends nature, creativity, and community. Technology will remain an integral part of its strategy to scale sustainably while maintaining guest experience standards.
