Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Cosy and comfortable, this old mill is a charming place to stay in the Cotswolds. Relax to the sound of water rushing below and toast your toes by the log burner after a day exploring the local area – because here, it’s all about the great outdoors. If children and dogs are joining you, they’ll have a wonderful time in the garden – although with open water, they'll need to be supervised at all times. For adventures further afield, you can jump straight onto the Malmesbury River Walk from your front door. And when you’ve worked up an appetite, take your pick of fantastic local eateries and old-world pubs, all within walking distance.

Home truths
There's an unfenced mill stream in the garden and the home is next to the river. To reach the extensive grounds at the back of the home, there is an open wooden walkway and a narrow footpath alongside the water. If you're bringing little ones and dogs, they'll need to be supervised outside at all times.
We recommend a car to get the most out of your stay. There's private parking for two cars here.
There are multiple stairs to climb in this split-level, three-storey home. Some doorways are low, so taller guests will need to mind their heads.
An initial supply of wood is provided for the log burner between 1st October and 31st March.
There's a dedicated office space here if you need to catch up on work during your stay.
