Mill House Hotel

An oasis of tranquillity in the beautiful Cotswolds

The location of this elegant Cotswolds retreat couldn't be more perfect. Situated in Kingham, a village once voted England's favourite ever village by Country Life Magazine, Mill House Hotel is surrounded by ten acres of landscaped gardens, plus its very own trout stream. Bedroom decor is in keeping with the centuries-old history of the place, yet the modern amenities you'd want from a luxury boutique hotel are all here. Enjoy Egyptian cotton sheets, flat-screen televisions and Wi-Fi throughout, plus cookies from the chef on arrival.

For dining, the ingredients are of high quality and are as locally sourced as possible: meat is bought in from an organic butcher in nearby Burford and organic vegetables from a greengrocer in Stratford. In The Mill Brook restaurant, a meal might begin with hand dived scallops fresh from Looe Harbour in Cornwall and end with exquisite pistachio ice cream. Then there's the Mill Stream Bar, which has a roaring log fire and some lighter meal options. Finally, you've got the Cotswold Lounge for cream teas and snacks. If arriving by train the hotel can arrange to pick you up.
