Mill Cottage is connected to the Old Mill, a classic Cotswold building nestled beside the picturesque bridge into Upper Swell. With spectacular views of rolling hills across the large millpond, Mill Cottage provides elegant accommodation for up to six people. Stow-on-the-Wold is only a mile away and the area is rich in historic houses and gardens as well as being an excellent location for both walking and cycling, with national trails right from the door.

Mill Cottage is well located for the nearby market towns of Stow-on-the-Wold, Bourton-on-the Water and Moreton-in-Marsh, all of which have fine shops, galleries, restaurants and delicatessens. Daylesford Organic Farm Shop and the spa town of Cheltenham are only short drives away.
