About this property

16th century converted mill in the Cotswolds with a hot tub -Little Barford Mill

  • Little Barford Mill is a unique property near Great Tew that sleeps 10 guests, in five spacious ensuite bedrooms. This 16th century watermill has been lovingly renovated to combine its abundance of personality and character with high-quality, contemporary amenities. From the hand made oak features to the millstone sunk into the bathroom floor, there are unique quirks around every corner. At the heart of the property is the original watermill mechanism impeccably preserved and a real insight into the property's history. With stunning views from every window, it is well worth taking a quiet moment to watch the sunset and admire the idyllic scenery from the viewing nook. Outside, the hot tub showcases the mill's wonderful location nestled in the spectacular countryside, the perfect spot to relax with friends or family for a peaceful break.
