Wonderful location
We loved the house for our family holiday . Well equipped & comfortable . Its location is perfect for a morning walk around the village with the dogs then popping in at the bakery on the water for pastries & coffee. The facilities at the house were excellent . My husband made bread twice & we enjoyed relaxing with our family in the large lounge with the log burner . Perfect for my birthday celebrations .

Excellent weekend away
There were 8 adults and two children in our party and the house was excellent and satisfied all of our needs. The location was spot on a short walk into the village and short drives to adjacent Cotswolds locations We had to contact Sammi the housekeeper a couple of times and she was extremely helpful I fully recommend the company and house and would definitely return

Perfect property for large group
There were 9 adults and the property was just ideal for our needs. A separate snug was lovely for those that wanted to get away from the TV and relax reading a book. Rooms were spacious and the kitchen was superbly stocked with everything you could possibly need.

Thanksgiving family get together
The property was great for our requirements with large lounge and large table in kitchen/diner so that all 10 adults could get round for our family meals prepared and cooked in the well appointed kitchen. We had a great time and hopefully will be able to go back next year.

Another great long weekend
We have stayed here before and booked again as has 6 bedrooms and so convenient to walk to Bourton on the Water. Spotlessly clean and really comfortable for myself and my 5 friends. Off road parking for our 4 cars which is great too. Would definitely recommend.

Location And Facilities Fantastic.
10 of us all enjoyed a wonderful week here. Superb for a large group with plenty of space for all ages. We particularly enjoyed table tennis in the games room.

Lovely stay
Cottage was great for our needs and kitchen is very well equipped for self-catering. Footpaths a plenty from the door with lovely 5/10 minute walk to the bakery in a morning. Would say parking is more for 4 cars & it’s both the bedroom and bathroom in the top floor that have restricted headroom. Cotswolds Hideaways not so helpful with a query beforehand but housekeeper very helpful when contacted directly.

Great house for a family holiday
Spacious, clean, well equipped house in ideal location. Efficient and helpful letting agents. The only suggestion is to have separate bins for recycling. Thank you.

Family gathering
We had a great stay, cottage was perfect and the location suited us really well. however the grass was really long which stopped us being able to use the garden for any games etc. Also when we arrived the recycling bins were full up from the previous guests which made it difficult for us to place any of our recycling there. One of the sofa legs (2 seater chair) were broken. Cottage was extremely well equipped and we really appreciated the early check in .

Lovely cottage in a beautiful location
Millstone Cottage is a lovely property just a short walk from the busy centre of Bourton on the Water. It was spotless on arrival and provided very ideal accommodation for our group. The bedrooms were spacious and comfortable as was the lounge. The kitchen was very well equipped, providing everything we needed for our stay. I would definitely recommend this property.

Fabulous cottage in a fabulous location!
Really enjoyable stay in a fabulous cottage which was spacious (there was 11 of us), immaculate and warm. Very well equipped kitchen, kids loved the snug and games cupboard, as well as the table tennis in the garage! Bourton on the Water has a lot to offer, pubs, cafes, shops and tourist attractions. We had a great time, loved the house, and hope to return!!

Excellent accomodation for a special family wend
A most enjoyable wend stay at Milestone Cottage for my Dad's 80th birthday. The house in terms of location, accomodation and facilities were superb. Plenty of parking space for our cars. Kitchen was very well stocked with everything you could need. Enjoyed the open fire in the evening. Would recommend.

80th birthday stay with family
This is a lovely house, well presented and well equiped. Easy to operate range lovely social kitchen. Bathrooms and showers a-plenty and good quality. Great amount of information regarding restaurants etc. We were a mixed age group children loved the table tennis in the garage. Most of all it's proximity to town. Lovely break, thanks for the cake !!!

3rd visit
The property is in an amazing location got the village and surrounding area. This was our 3rd visit to Millstone. Sadly we have found on each visit the property has deteriorated and not maintained to a very good standard. Two of the bedrooms had black mould on the walls near the windows which looked like it had been there for some time. We found dirty plates and cutlery in the drawers and cupboards and general standards of cleaning to be low. The property needs a deep clean and freshening up. Sadly we will not be booking to stay there again.

Enjoyable stay in the Cotswolds
We enjoyed our stay, great position for walking into Bourton-on-the-Water. Our only issue was the dishwasher which did not clean properly, even after cleaning the filters.

Millstone Cottage
6 Guests + Great location, close to walk into Bourton-on-the-Water village, yet far enough away not to be effected by noise. + Large kitchen/dining room and lounge + Wi-Fi (available throughout the property) Audio and TV facilities. + All bathrooms of a good size + Garden was a generous size and due to hedges/trees etc. it felt quite private and not overlooked by neighbours. Plenty of outside seating. - Driveway is suitable for 2 medium sized vehicles to then enable accessible entry to and exit from. - Lack of wardrobe space. - Oven door seal/catch needs replacing as worn and so didn’t close fully.

Happy family weekend
Excellent base for our family of 11 + dog (delighted owners happy for us to take dog) Millstone Cottage is ideally situated for a Cotswold stay. Six well appointed bedrooms, lovely large kitchen-diner. And a lovely snug/games room for adults or kids, depending on who takes ownership first We’d definitely return.

Ideal for family gatherings
After a certain age a comfortable bed gets to be very important and everyone slept well at Millstone Cottage so no one was cranky at breakfast. The kids loved the ping pong table, the dog loved the garden, the family enjoyed the variety of spaces available from communal kitchen meals to quiet snug getaways. A few of the amenities need a bit of tlc - mostly wear and tear on bathroom fittings, the oven does need replacing though. Overall I'd say it was 4.5 stars up to 5 once the maintenance is done.

What a gem
We were delighted with Millstone Cottage. Its comfort, facilities and equipment were excellent. Everything had been thought off to make a great stay, and the owners were very helpful. The location was also ideal, very close to the centre of the village, and with a pub on the way! Added to this, the value for money for a large six bedroom property was a beyond expectations. We would definitely return to this excellent house in possibly the most beautiful village in the UK.

A great stay
We came to Millstone Cottage for a family reunion and there was plenty room for all of us. The cottage was just a 10 minute walk from Bourton on the Water village and we enjoyed a roast at the Mousetrap pub a few doors down. The kitchen had everything we needed and there were plenty of towels, glasses, mugs etc for everyone.

Very enjoyable family stay for my 70th birthday
Millstone cottage is a wonderful place the stay, just a short walk to the village. We went to bird land, the model village and used the pubs and restaurants during our short stay. The cottage accommodated. Nan, grandad two mums and dads an adult daughter three grandsons and one granddaughter. Eleven of us could have breakfast together at the same time. Out for the days in the lovely village and attractions. The evenings were great playing games together in very comfortable surroundings. I can highly recommend Millstone cottage in Bourton on the water. Loved it. Robert Abraham Southampton. It was for my 70th birthday. I feel younger now!!
