We spent 3 nights for my 40th birthday celebrations, and for 9 of us and 2 dogs, it was perfect! Comfortable, clean, well appointed, beautiful scenery, great hot tub, you really couldn't ask for more. It's a really special place and we wouldn't hesitate in booking again. ##### Charlotte M.

Everything in the property was outstanding quality & the building is so beautiful with original exposed beams, water wheel - simply amazing. The owners were so friendly and great they are so near if there were any issues (which there weren't). Amazing location with great views. So peaceful as well. We highly recommend the property and will definitely be returning. ##### Simon A.

What a fantastic stay, the house was tastefully restored, clean, warm and had everything we needed. The owner was nearby and so extremely friendly. We would love to return to this beautiful house in the wonderful location. ##### Elaine B.

All the furnishings are of a high quality with comfortable beds, plenty of different seating areas and beautiful bathrooms. We were lucky with the weather and enjoyed the outdoor space with its gorgeous views, the young generation loved the hot tub and we barbecued on the terrace on several evenings. The owners were delightful, friendly and helpful and even took our very excited three-year-old grandson for a tractor ride - definitely the highlight of his stay! There were so many welcoming touches when we arrived - fresh flowers, a home baked cake - and we felt at home straight away. Although well off the beaten track, and gloriously peaceful, there are many Cotswold villages nearby with so many lovely pubs, and the family enjoyed trips to the Cotswold Wildlife Park and of course, a few beers at Diddly Squat. I can’t think of anything that could be improved and I very much hope we’ll be able to return soon. ##### Elizabeth B.

The kids enjoyed watching the tractors go by and the grown ups admired the peaceful surroundings. Lots to do a short drive away - we’d recommend Cotswold Wildlife Park. The house had lots of homely touches that made us feel welcome such as freshly baked cake and flower displays.

We were a family of 10 and a 4 week old baby but it felt like we all had our own ‘apartments’ and were not on top of each other. It was magical to see the ponies grazing from our bedroom in the mornings. Just wished we’d booked it for the week. Thank you to Tom and team.

It also has a lovely dining / sitting room area for bringing everyone together. The weather wasn’t exactly kind to us in mid February but that didn’t matter. The hot tub works well whatever. I had a lot of fun playing trains and farms with my grandson, (not included).

The house met our expectations in every way and the little extra touches - fresh cake to welcome us, wild flowers in all the rooms, made it all very special. The setting lent itself to a private, relaxed and special weekend.

This property is stunning throughout. Very warm and cosy despite some very miserable and cold weather. All the bedrooms are beautifully decorated with high quality en suite bathrooms. The property is remote but that worked for us. We didn’t want to be in a town. Worked perfectly for our family of 7 adults, 1 infant and 2 dogs. Really don’t have any complaints or areas for improvement and we all agreed we will try and visit again. ##### Andy H.

Tom was really responsive while we were there and we were very grateful to the owners who were really accommodating with a request that helped make the weekend enjoyable for all and extra special. The dogs also enjoyed the great walks from the house and their own separate dog cleaning house with luxury towels! Would definitely come back.

The house was perfect. Plenty room, lovely and warm with very comfortable bedrooms with plenty hot water. The hot tub was an added bonus. It was steaming hot and starting the day with a cup of coffee immersed in the warm water with frost on the ground was magical! We had some lovely walks from the house including one to the local pub. The area around the house is very peaceful and quiet. All in all, a wonderful weekend.

So beautifully renovated, the converted mill nestles into the countryside and has never ending views of fields and sky. It really is the most wonderful home to share with friends and family whether you are celebrating a special occasion or just want a break in the countryside. Amazing walks are on your doorstep and it’s a great location to visit all of the beautiful Cotswold villages from. The hosts were so helpful and Tom is on hand if there are any issues. There were none for us!! Hot tub and underfloor heating are fabulous and they even welcome furry friends. 10/10 from me !!! This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent 21 Aug 2023 #### Amazing Property! We absolutely loved our stay here, enjoyed by all! Amazing property and renovation, it was so peaceful and restful, we loved it and will certainly come back! Our only feedback would be for the garden lawns, they are covered in Thistle weeds which means you have to have footwear on at all times, we all played games including our young children and it was uncomfortable. Our two little dogs refused to walk on it as it hurt their paws! Not a complaint but feedback to improve..

Our weekend at Little Barford Mill was an absolute tonic from start to finish. The Mill has been so beautifully and tastefully renovated. Every detail is divine and the added touches such as dressing gowns in the bedrooms and en-suite bathrooms add a touch of luxury. The outside space is ample and there are many areas to relax and enjoy a glass of wine. The patio has the evening sun which has uninterrupted views of the sunset. It really is the most magical setting and I do not think there are words that do it justice! I would absolutely recommend Little Barford Mill to anyone seeking a weekend retreat. The most perfect escape weekend with a group of friends from London!! There are walks on the doorstep into the Cotswold's countryside and many quintessential villages to explore too. Our only regret was we didn't stay long enough!!

We drove up the farm track and the mill appeared, it looked as if we'd made the right choice. We arrived a little early and were welcomed by the owner who said she needed a few more minutes but to have a look around. Surrounded by fields, the only sounds were from sheep and the river. A few minutes later, we were wished a pleasant stay. We looked around the mill, the bedrooms, lounge, snug, kitchen were like flicking through a magazine of 'dream' properties. Views from every window and door were stunning. We knew our family would love it. The property had literally everything we needed. Although you are in a beautiful rural setting, you are not far from villages and towns. Passing traffic consisted of walkers, horses and tractors, whose drivers waved every time they passed, on occasions stopping for a chat to asked if we were enjoying our stay. As a family we all said it was the perfect place for our holiday.

Booking with StayCotswolds was easy, and the portal was great to upload all the information needed. There was plenty of information about the cottage online and was surprised for such detailed directions providing we had a what3words, postcode and written instructions. First impressions of the cottage were great, we were concerned we were driving through private property when going through the farm, but on asking for directions found that they were extremely friendly and helpful. We found the location to be perfect as it felt secluded and private so we weren't concerned with disturbing anyone during our stay, but we were also a short drive away from local villages. The surroundings and views of fields and footpaths made for a very peaceful stay. The cottage itself is absolutely beautiful. The decor, the design, everything you can tell has been done with a lot of thought and planning with no expense spared. On arrival we had fresh flowers in the living areas and a homemade cake which included a list of allergens (very helpful and a nice touch!!). The beds were all very comfy- possibly some of the nicest pillows I have slept on. Outside the property was perfect with a seating area, dining table and chairs to accommodate all staying, sun loungers and the hot tub. We were lucky enough to enjoy bbq's 2 nights we were there. The only thing I would say is that it is missing a microwave for ease of making porridge and scrambled egg in a morning, otherwise the kitchen was very stocked with all sizes of dinnerware and serve ware. We all said we have now set a bar for our next staycation and are unsure if anywhere else will stand up to our expectations now we have stayed at Little Barford Mill. I think for 7 adults to all say that they would return and thoroughly enjoyed our stay says just how perfect this cottage is. We had multiple people asking where we were staying when sharing images/videos on social media due to how nice it is. Don't hesitate to book your stay here, as I imagine it will become a very sought after cottage and book up fast. Thank you to Tom and his family for allowing us to have such a beautiful stay at the cottage This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent 18 Oct 2025 #### Cotswold AB&B Lovely stay again.

The property was stunning with everything we needed plus a luxurious hot tub and great walks straight from the door. The enclosed garden was great for the dog. We really appreciated the Victoria sponge cake (bake off worthy!), the fresh flowers and the luxurious bathrobes and bed linens. The owners were charming, friendly and on hand if required. The location was quiet but well placed for seeing the Cotswolds. We enjoyed a Sunday lunch at the local pub (The George) which was walking distance away.

The hosts were quick to sort anything out for us and warm and friendly. It’s a great location for getting about in the Cotswolds. Fantastic local walks. Loved the hot tub and garden spaces being able to watch and listen to the wildlife. Very well stocked kitchen, they have really thought through everything you may need and a delicious home made Victoria sponge sat waiting for us in the fridge. We loved our relaxing stay so much - thank you. Just one suggestion a long mirror for dressing would to add to already beautiful decor.
