  The Old Mill is just perfect.

  We have just returned from a week's stay and we are so pleased we found this place. You really won't be disappointed if you stay here! The owners Ben & Kelly were great, so helpful and accommodating. We had contacted with them a couple of times before our holiday and nothing was too much trouble. We were met by Ben on arrival and his introduction to the property was great. The welcome pack was just so kind & thoughtful, we really appreciated it. The property is well equipped and perfectly caters for children. This is a beautiful, peaceful, safe location. It's a perfect location for visiting so many places. We went to Gloucester, Cotswolds- Bibury (beautiful!!), Burford, Bourton-on-the-Water and Stow-on-the-World, all worth a visit - can't beat the Cotswolds. We also went to to Cotswold Park Farm, great day out for the kiddies, highly recommended! We also went on the GWR steam train trip too, again definitely recommended. To eat out locally, we can certainly say both The Red Hart in Blaisdon and The White Hart in Newnham were super! Good food, very friendly and accommodating. Make sure you are hungry though! Ben and Kelly, thank you again and hopefully we'll be back one day!

  We’ve just stayed for a week at the olde house with family, (4 Adults, 2 children) and were delighted with our stay & choice of property.

  The property is well equipt and had everything we required for our stay. The owners Jane & Peter were great and live close by which is a bonus. Friendly people and to hand but at the same time not intrusive. The Garden is fantastic and very well maintained. We enjoyed many evenings sat out on the patio admiring the garden. Great garden furniture & BBQ is available for cooking outdoors. The garden was also secure and our 8 month old Labrador also loved it. This property is situated in a small quiet village location so ideal if this is what you are looking for. As there were six of us staying we utilised the snug as a third bedroom which was fine as this left the lounge & dining area along with the patio via sliding doors from the lounge for living spaces. The bed in the snug is a high quality sofa bed that looked new and we both commented on how comfortable this was. To summarise this property ticked all of the boxes & we wouldn’t hesitate recommending to others. It’s a property we will look to stay at again in the future. Thanks Jane & Peter. Best regards, Kevin & family.

  We can't recommend this cottage highly enough.

  The Old Mill was beautifully designed, spotlessly clean, and ideal for our needs. We were a group of 6 adults, a 2 year old and a 7 month old. The owners were extremely helpful and accommodating and we were delighted with the equipment provided for the children (2 cots, 2 high chairs and a chest full of toys). Each room was beautifully decorated and finished to a high standard. The bedrooms were all on the ground floor. The bathrooms we again spotlessly clean, and extra toiletries (shampoo, conditioner etc) were also provided. The main downstairs living area was more than big enough for all of us, and we were able to spill out outside onto the benches and grass. The large table would easily seat 10, and creates a really sociable area. Upstairs is a lovely sofa area with large TV and little balcony. We enjoyed spending the evenings chatting upstairs (without disturbing the children sleeping downstairs). We walked over to the large lake and enjoyed watching the swans. Thank you for a lovely weekend!

  I booked the Old Mill for the first bank holiday weekend in May.

  It seemed the perfect place to take my wife and son, sister-in-law and her family, and my father-in-law to celebrate my wife's 30th birthday. The Old Mill sits in an enclosed compound which sits on a very large acreage in a hamlet named Flaxley. Given my sister-in-law has a two-year-old daughter, it was a perfect place for her to run about without us having to worry about what she was up to. When she fell backwards off a picnic bench and smacked her head off the stone pavement the owner, Ben, brought a small child's bench for her to use. We also arrived back from a few long walks to find extra toys awaiting us, which I believe is conduct above and beyond. Ben and Kelly were the most accommodating and inviting hosts and I can't say enough about them. I suppose mentioning that we will be making the Old Mill an annual weekend away should suffice. If you have a family and want a safe, beautiful place to get away I can't recommend it highly enough.

  We just loved this cottage from the moment we walked through the door.

  The comfortable lounge with the open fire and everything needed in a home from home. We particularly liked the older part of the building with so many original features. Just loved the enormous old fire place in the snug. The stairs and doors amazing, what stories they could tell. We slept very well and often late. We spent a lot of time sitting on the patio listening to the birdsong and watching the bees and butterflies busy in the borders and relaxing. The garden itself is enormous and extends a long way back. We recommend The Alma at Linton. You don't need to drive vast distances to find places to visit, Monmouth, Ross on Wye, Forest of Dean to name a few. We were exceptionally lucky with the weather for time of the year. Lots of wild daffodils everywhere. Thank you Jane and Peter for a lovely holiday. Thank you Jane for the Chinese lanterns and Cyclamen plants which are now in our garden in Lincolnshire.
