Little Barford Mill is a unique large Cotswold holiday home 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. Little Barford Mill is a dog friendly holiday home, suitable for two well-behaved dogs!

A Fabulous Cotswold Cottage
10.0
Sarah Richards, Mar 2026
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.
Fabulous property

Juliette Coles, Nov 2025
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.
Wonderful weekend!
