    “Mill Stream Cottage is simply stunning.”

    There were six of us spending the Christmas holiday and we couldn't have been happier or more comfortable. Decorating within is beautiful and beds were made with lovely duvets and coverlets. And each bedroom is ensuite. More than ample cookware and tableware is provided. We had a small issue with the toaster and a new one was delivered within an hour or two, proving that response to any problem will be handled swiftly. The surrounding village is magical and the cottage is well positioned ...

    There were six of us spending the Christmas holiday and we couldn't have been happier or more comfortable. Decorating within is beautiful and beds were made with lovely duvets and coverlets. And each bedroom is ensuite. More than ample cookware and tableware is provided. We had a small issue with the toaster and a new one was delivered within an hour or two, proving that response to any problem will be handled swiftly. The surrounding village is magical and the cottage is well positioned for further exploration of the Cotswold area. This property is truly extraordinary. We have been to many holiday rentals in the Cotswolds over the years and this one surpasses all of them. Definitely an amazing holiday!

The property

Mill Stream Cottage is a fabulous property which sleeps 5+1 guests, in three bedrooms (with the +1 option being a single pull out bed in bedroom 3), with three ensuite bathrooms.

Dating back to the 19th century and built from Cotswold stone, this delightful cottage has combined traditional features with contemporary décor and includes a cosy wood burner, stone mullion windows and exposed stone.

These character touches are complemented with modern facilities including wireless internet access, a Smart TV with Netflix subscription and a well-equipped kitchen.

There is a secluded courtyard garden at the rear of the cottage and off-street parking is available for up to two small cars on the private driveway. Mill Stream Cottage is situated in the chocolate-box village of Lower Slaughter, widely regarded as one of England's most beautiful villages.

Picturesque cottages line the banks of the River Eye which flows from Upper Slaughter through Lower Slaughter and on into Bourton-on-the-Water.

Standing proudly by the river is the 19th century flour mill which features a giant working waterwheel and an imposing chimney, an eye-catching landmark which is popular amongst keen photographers as it contrasts against the village dwellings.

No longer operational, the mill building has been converted into a museum with a popular tearoom, and the village also benefits from a well-regarded country inn and a fine dining restaurant. Lower Slaughter is surrounded by the stunning countryside of the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Beauty, with many walks and cycle routes on its doorstep.

The Wardens' Way passes through the village and offers a pleasant stroll to the nearby villages of Upper Slaughter and Bourton-on-the-Water.

Bourton is home to a range of pubs, restaurants, tearooms, shops and tourist attractions, including Birdland and the Cotswold Motoring and Toy Museum.

The many other lovely towns and villages of the North Cotswolds are within easy reach and further afield destinations such as Stratford-upon-Avon, Blenheim Palace and Oxford are accessible for day trips.

About the location

Lower Slaughter

Lower Slaughter is a village in the Cotswold district of Gloucestershire, England, 4 miles south west of Stow-on-the-Wold.The village is built on both banks of the River Eye, a slow-moving stream crossed by two footbridges, which also flows through Upper Slaughter. At the west end of the village there is a 19th-century water mill with an undershot waterwheel and a chimney for additional steam power. There is a ford where the river widens in the village and several small stone footbridges join the two sides of the community. A mill is recorded in the Doomsday Book of 1086 on the site of The Old Mill. In the 14th Century it had begun to be known as Slaughter Mill and is open to the public to view today. Lower Slaughter is home to the pretty church of St Mary. The church and its impressive spire were re-built in 1867 but some arches between the nave and the south aisle date back to the thirteenth century while the church of St Peter's, in Upper Slaughter, is a historic Norman church with parts dating from the 12th century .

Note: There is a second single bed in bedroom 3 available on request, which, when erected, there is not much floor space.

Note: No Sunday turnaround
