Beautiful location, excellent stay

We loved this house, it is in a gorgeous setting ( with a friendly swan ) lovely grounds and garden, plenty of places to sit inside and out, good sized beds in the bedrooms and a very well stocked kitchen with everything we needed for a family/ friends weekend. We were three families with children of various ages and a dog, everyone has enough space and the space was perfect for family dinners inside and a bbq outside too. We loved Grindstone Mill and will definitely return, thank you for wonderful holiday weekend stay.

Stunning place - we will be back!

Grindstone Mill is a beautiful place to spend a weekend with friends or family. It’s extremely comfortable, has everything you need, and feels like the lovely family home it once was. It’s perfect for celebrating or just spending time. Stunning and private location. Owners were fantastic and helpful. We will be back!

Annual reunion

Absolute beautiful house in a truly picturesque area. The house was extremely well equipped to a very high standard. Really comfortable and spacious. The only negative were the wasps in one of the bathrooms otherwise perfect!

Excellent location for a large group stay

There were ten of us staying here for Cheltenham races and it worked brilliantly (an easy 50 min drive even on gold cup day). It is lovely large house with space and facilities for a party our size with comfortable rooms and beds and whilst you need to drive to pubs the kitchen and large dining table made a great social hub. We got a large food order delivered when we arrived which was ideal and the combination of cooker/hob and aga was fine. Laura was a very helpful owner as well - so would thoroughly recommend.

Beautiful stay at the Mill

This was our first trip to the Cotswolds and we needed a place that could accommodate our two families with kids of different ages. The Grindstone Mill met our expectations with its picturesque setting and warm spacious home. All of the bedrooms are a good size and one on the main level that met the needs of the grandparents. The kitchen is spacious and well equipped. We very much enjoyed the property and being able to enjoy some walks. The location was well situated to travel to many small villages and I’d love to return to have more time to explore. We very much enjoyed our stay.

Weekend away with extended family

We really loved our long weekend stay at Grindstone Mill, the house was beautiful and in a lovely, quiet rural location but only 5 mins or so from local shops. We were two families of five, with six children aged 7-17, plus one set of grandparents. There was plenty of room for all and great living space. The kitchen and dining area was great for entertaining and well equipped (for all of the cooking I had to do…!). Beautiful grounds and lots of walks straight from the house.

Wonderful location and property to celebrate a special birthday

We hired this house to enable our family of 5 siblings and partners to take our mother away to celebrate her 90th birthday. We had a wonderful time. The house is very luxurious, comfortable and spacious. It is well appointed and furnished very nicely and has quality appliances. It had everything needed for a very comfortable stay. The kitchen is large and well stocked with everything needed to cook our birthday celebration dinner. With 3 comfortable living spaces it never felt like we were getting on top of each other and allowed space for quiet time out as well as group activities. We had glorious weather and breakfasted outside every morning overlooking the boathouse and being visited on the water by the swan, ducks and geese and twice saw deer crossing the fields nearby whilst breakfasting. There were lovely ample walking paths straight from the house, allowing easy and fairly flat off road walking with several pubs within 1 to 2 miles from the house. A very minor point which we’d like to recommend is that shower mats should be provided. Both walk in showers felt slippery and one of our group did slip in the shower and suffered bruising although nothing serious. We would throughly recommend Grindstone Mill as a perfect setting for a large family get together. It is a beautiful house in lovely grounds, close to great walking and amenities but secluded enough to feel very private.

Review of Grindstone Mill

We went to stay here for my father's 80th. We had a wonderful time - the house is large and spacious with beautiful outside areas. Here are my positive and negative comments: + All correspondence was quickly replied to with Laura. + We left a silver ring behind and when I called they sent to us next day. + Two good size fridges with freezers below and dishwasher. + Super size kitchen and lounge for us all. + Comfy beds and chairs - Not enough hot water for us all to have showers/baths while staying. (The plumber came out to turn the water temp up but still the next day we didn't have enough water - he said the tank wasn't big enough for 12 people to have a shower/bath within 2 hours of each other) - The ovens were a nightmare! The Aga was complicated so we decided not to use. The electric oven was tricky to use - not sure how but we locked our food in!!! The door wouldn't open (husband thinks it went on to a special cleaning mode!!). Really would appreciate a simple guideline leaflet to explain how to use the oven. We are a practical family I dread to think if we hadn't been - salad for supper every day! :)

Bolthole par excellence

Beautiful location. Lovely house. Well supplied with everything expected. Eg.Two large fridge freezers. Ample spare cupboard space. Aga plus fan oven. Wardrobe space etc. etc. Compare the price of six double rooms in a boutique hotel.

Dream location

This was a carefully selected exceptional property for the family gathering to celebrate our Golden Wedding Anniversary. We were not let down - charm, location, venue, facilities and quality exceeded our expectations. A great find and highly recommended for a special gathering. Even the local pub, The Fleece in nearby Hillesley, was idyllic Cotswolds. Thanks you all at Grindstone Mill for a dream weekend.

A well located attractive property let down by a tired and partially unusable interior

Although Grindstone Mill provided adequate accommodation and household needs, we were disappointed by how worn the furniture and equipment was. Most notably, the two basement bedrooms smelled of damp so went unused by our party. This is certainly not a luxury property.

Exceeds expectations

Beautiful house in a wonderful location, very well equipped with everything we needed. We had a great stay, explored the area during the day (great walks) and enjoyed lovely dinners at night at the outside table. Five stars, we thoroughly recommend Grindstone Mill and I am sure we will be back.

Lovely stay at the Grindstone

Beautiful house and grounds. We had a group of six but could have easily fit twice as many. We loved the area and nearby towns but we also very much enjoyed relaxing at the house and cooking meals together. We would definitely rent this place again if we were in the area. A classic feel, well appointed with antiques, but very comfortable at the same time.

Lovely house in a beautiful setting.

Amazing setting - loads of space in this fabulous house for a 3 generation family break for my wife’s 80th birthday celebrations. Small points - Would have appreciated a welcome note, cake or milk as we have had in some properties to make it feel a bit more personal and welcoming. Instructions for the appliances, particularly the built in oven would have been helpful.

Lovely home and outlook over stream

Lovely home and outlook over stream with ducks and a swan Comfy beds Great shower Full washing machine and dryer in laundry - washing pods nicely supplied Lots of Ice cubes in freezer were very welcome in the hot weather Salt and pepper, some milk, starter Nespresso pods, tea and coffee, sugar, foil and baking paper supplied Nice bath bubbles and soap Have reported some housekeeping issues to owner, which were minor. Might want to bring your own pillows - they are mostly feather. No pillow protectors. Some pillows need replacing. No Paper towel, oil, or vinegar so bring your own We had a very enjoyable and comfortable stay in a lovely location

A glorious two night stay

I hired the Mill for my husbands birthday get together with a few friends. We had the most wonderful time. The house is gorgeous, the beds are comfy and the setting is wonderful. The only issue we had is that the cooker didn't have a manual so we had to 'A Team' it to be able to cook our dinner. Between 10 of us we made it work but a manual would have been great. Do not hesitate to book this venue - it was wonderful.

A wonderful Birthday weekend stay at Grindstone Mill

I organised a long weekend stay at Grindstone Mill for twelve friends and family to celebrate a birthday. A chance find online, I liked the virtual tour and how it showed how well all levels of the house flow into the central kitchen and entertaining space and how much character the whole house has. The stunning setting with Lake and boathouse tucked down a long driveway completed it as a special destination. A very minor gripe would be that we did like to put the blinds down at night, they could do with a freshen up. But overall what a fantastic place and everyone fell for it.

Celebration weekend

We had a fabulous time staying here. Everything was perfect. The house was clean and tidy and just as we imagined from the pics. The only thing we would say is that we had the master suite and the TV was so tiny we didn’t even put it on plus the light in the en-suite was flickering constantly. I did report this but it couldn’t be fixed during our stay so every time we went into the bathroom we felt like we were at a rave which was annoying. Apart from that we had a fabulous time and would definitely stay again

Amazing!!

Deff worth the drive from London. My husband and I are from the US so this was a dream get away. The house to the pond I’m the back, the towns everything about this place was a romantic get away. It was a blast and well for sure return again :) Only suggestion we have would be a bigger TV in the master bedroom and maybe a new TV as we had some trouble watching TV and finding what would work/load. Not sure if it’s just being in the county in the Wifi is. A little slower. Other then that it was a wonderful stay!!!

A beautiful house in an idyllic setting

We had a wonderful few days at Grindstone Mill, helped by being there in glorious sunshine. The house is huge, comfortable, and would easily accommodate a larger party than our 7. The only, minor negative would be the cooking facilities in the kitchen. When the Aga is switched off, the only alternative is a small electric oven, with instructions in French and with no manual to help. It was too small and inefficient for our needs, and would certainly not be large enough to cook for a larger party.
