The perfect place for a family reunion

Whilst we had very little human contact from Bolthole retreats the owners of Grindstone Mill couldn't have been more helpful and the Mill itself was wonderful. It is the most beautiful setting, peaceful but close to so many places on the edge of the Cotswold escarpment. We wouldn't hesitate to rent this lovely house again as it was perfect for our family reunion. Walks from the house, endless places for the cyclists to explore and space for us all to enjoy the time together.

A Fabulous House for a Cotswold Get-Together

We gathered at Grindstone Mill for a special birthday celebration get-together and we all loved it immediately. It is a stunning house in a gorgeous, peaceful location, very spacious inside and with a gorgeous garden which we really enjoyed sitting and dining out in, lounging on the steamer chairs and playing boules on the lawn. There were lovely walks from the door which we enjoyed too. The kitchen and dining area were so spacious and well-equipped and we loved the huge drawing room. The master bedroom and en-suite were gorgeous and all of the bedrooms and bathrooms were excellent, it was so useful having so many showers. It was so lovely sitting out by the mill leet and watching the resident swan and ducks and other birds and the horses in the adjacent field. An absolutely idyllic house and location and we would love to return. We would not hesitate to recommend this property. If there was one thing that could add to the enjoyment of staying there, it would be to have a large sun umbrella over the table in the garden as this would enable it to be used even more, but it was great to have the bench over to one side in the shade and the smaller table on the back patio was very useful too and we really appreciated having garden seat cushions to use. An absolutely superb stay!

Beautiful house in a lovely location

This is a fabulous house for a gathering of friends or family. The bedrooms are nice and the reception rooms are superb. We had a wonderful long weekend. The agent was very helpful both before and during our stay. We had a technical issue with the house while we were there and the owner responded with a partial refund.

Family gathering.

The property was ideal for our long weekend family gathering of nine adults. Spacious, well-appointed, and well-equipped with luxurious comfort to enable our group to spend time together without leaving Grindstone. Should you wish to explore further, there are numerous places of interest within easy reach of this beautiful and peaceful location. My only disappointment was dealing with Bolthole Retreats, where a query I had was met with indifference. Fortunately, speaking to the charming and helpful owner, the problem was instantly resolved. I would happily recommend this property, and certainly book again, maybe using another agent, of which there are two I know of that feature Grinstone and similar.

Dream location

This was a carefully selected exceptional property for the family gathering to celebrate our Golden Wedding Anniversary. We were not let down - charm, location, venue, facilities and quality exceeded our expectations. A great find and highly recommended for a special gathering. Even the local pub, The Fleece in nearby Hillesley, was idyllic Cotswolds. Thanks you all at Grindstone Mill for a dream weekend.

Exceeds expectations

Beautiful house in a wonderful location, very well equipped with everything we needed. We had a great stay, explored the area during the day (great walks) and enjoyed lovely dinners at night at the outside table. Five stars, we thoroughly recommend Grindstone Mill and I am sure we will be back.

Beautiful location, excellent stay

We loved this house, it is in a gorgeous setting ( with a friendly swan ) lovely grounds and garden, plenty of places to sit inside and out, good sized beds in the bedrooms and a very well stocked kitchen with everything we needed for a family/ friends weekend. We were three families with children of various ages and a dog, everyone has enough space and the space was perfect for family dinners inside and a bbq outside too. We loved Grindstone Mill and will definitely return, thank you for wonderful holiday weekend stay.

Grindstone Mill is a beautiful place to spend a weekend with friends or family. It’s extremely comfortable, has everything you need, and feels like the lovely family home it once was.

Absolute beautiful house in a truly picturesque area. The house was extremely well equipped to a very high standard. Really comfortable and spacious. The only negative were the wasps in one of the bathrooms otherwise perfect!

Bolthole par excellence

Beautiful location. Lovely house. Well supplied with everything expected. Eg.Two large fridge freezers. Ample spare cupboard space. Aga plus fan oven. Wardrobe space etc. etc. Compare the price of six double rooms in a boutique hotel.

Lovely stay at the Grindstone

Beautiful house and grounds. We had a group of six but could have easily fit twice as many. We loved the area and nearby towns but we also very much enjoyed relaxing at the house and cooking meals together. We would definitely rent this place again if we were in the area. A classic feel, well appointed with antiques, but very comfortable at the same time.

Excellent location for a large group stay

There were ten of us staying here for Cheltenham races and it worked brilliantly (an easy 50 min drive even on gold cup day). It is lovely large house with space and facilities for a party our size with comfortable rooms and beds and whilst you need to drive to pubs the kitchen and large dining table made a great social hub. We got a large food order delivered when we arrived which was ideal and the combination of cooker/hob and aga was fine. Laura was a very helpful owner as well - so would thoroughly recommend.

Weekend away with extended family

We really loved our long weekend stay at Grindstone Mill, the house was beautiful and in a lovely, quiet rural location but only 5 mins or so from local shops. We were two families of five, with six children aged 7-17, plus one set of grandparents. There was plenty of room for all and great living space. The kitchen and dining area was great for entertaining and well equipped (for all of the cooking I had to do…!). Beautiful grounds and lots of walks straight from the house.

Beautiful stay at the Mill

This was our first trip to the Cotswolds and we needed a place that could accommodate our two families with kids of different ages. The Grindstone Mill met our expectations with its picturesque setting and warm spacious home. All of the bedrooms are a good size and one on the main level that met the needs of the grandparents. The kitchen is spacious and well equipped. We very much enjoyed the property and being able to enjoy some walks. The location was well situated to travel to many small villages and I’d love to return to have more time to explore. We very much enjoyed our stay.

Lovely house in a beautiful setting.

Amazing setting - loads of space in this fabulous house for a 3 generation family break for my wife’s 80th birthday celebrations. Small points - Would have appreciated a welcome note, cake or milk as we have had in some properties to make it feel a bit more personal and welcoming. Instructions for the appliances, particularly the built in oven would have been helpful.

A well located attractive property let down by a tired and partially unusable interior

Although Grindstone Mill provided adequate accommodation and household needs, we were disappointed by how worn the furniture and equipment was. Most notably, the two basement bedrooms smelled of damp so went unused by our party. This is certainly not a luxury property.

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts with us on your recent stay at Grindstone Mill. We’re very glad to hear that you liked the property. Your feedback has been shared with the owner, who wishes you had contacted them during your stay about the downstairs bedrooms, as they would have been very happy to visit the property. They’ve advised that the smell has now been resolved and going forward the housekeepers will leave the bedroom doors open to ensure plenty of ventilation in the warmer weather. We do hope we have the opportunity to welcome you back to the Cotswolds in the future.

A glorious two night stay

I hired the Mill for my husbands birthday get together with a few friends. We had the most wonderful time. The house is gorgeous, the beds are comfy and the setting is wonderful. The only issue we had is that the cooker didn't have a manual so we had to 'A Team' it to be able to cook our dinner. Between 10 of us we made it work but a manual would have been great. Do not hesitate to book this venue - it was wonderful.
