A Fabulous Cotswold Cottage
Little Barford Mill has given our group of 8 friends the most fabulous Spring break. It is truly wonderful in all respects - position within a lovely farm and with delightful walks direct from the door; decor, furnishings and equipment; gorgeous rural views and a delicious cake on arrival to boot! We loved it and hope to return.

A lovely Easter break
We thoroughly enjoyed our Easter break at Lt Barford Mill, with all family members comfortably accommodated. The younger ones made good use of the hot tub, and surrounding trails for running/walking, and the older ones enjoyed the tranquil setting. The public right of way thru’ the garden was a bit of a surprise, but that’s not something that can be easily changed. All in all a very nice, well set-up and maintained property.

Great Stay
We stayed here over Mayday bank holiday as a group of 10 plus our dog. The booking process and comms were excellent. The house was easy to find due to great signage and was beautiful. The location was just outside a small village on the edge of a farm so very rural. It was a 15-20 minute walk from the nearest pub (The George which is well worth a visit). Lots of lovely walks round the house.
House had 3 bedrooms plus an adjoining annex With 2 further bedrooms. Nice living room which would seat 10 plus a dining area and kitchen. We BBQd outdoors and cooked in the kitchen, plenty of space for both.
The garden is lovely, the house is a 13th century converted mill so you have to expect some compromises including lots of steps!
A great break with lovely friendly owners living close by.

Fabulous property
This property was the perfect venue to celebrate a family birthday. It is beautifully designed and v stylish - straight out of ‘Country Living’. The fact that each bedroom is en suite was brilliant. Highly recommended- we’ll certainly be returning. Also, the information from StayCotswolds was timely and well-judged making the whole process very easy.

Perfect Country Getaway to Unwind
The most relaxing country stay with friends, the perfect place to switch off and wind down. The house was absolutely spotless, and cooking there was a real pleasure with everything you could possibly need at hand.
There was plenty of space for our group to come together comfortably, while still feeling warm and cosy at the same time. Everyone slept incredibly well; the bed linen and pillows were truly first class.
Evenings were spent curled up in the cosy living room, chatting and relaxing, which made it feel like home straight away. A lovely, comfortable place that made our time together extra special — we’d happily stay again!

Great short stay in the countryside
We had a lovely stay at Little Barford. 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.

Fabulous Place
Little Barford Mill is a fabulous place to stay, so peaceful and lovely to stay on a working farm.
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.

I cannot say enough nice things about Little Barford Mill, it was absolutely perfect for our time away. The building has so much space and character, and it is so nicely done. The location is peaceful and has trails right outside the door and there are many nice little villages a short drive away for anything you may need.

We had a wonderful weekend stay at Little Barford Mill to celebrate a 70th birthday. 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.

Excellent house for a family party
We booked Little Barford Mill for a multi generational family party. 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.

Fab at 50
A really lovely place which has been very thoughtfully renovated as a holiday property - we had everything we needed for a fab at 50 celebration with a few old school friends. 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.
