Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
If you have submitted a review for a holiday rental property, we may also ask that you provide us with proof of your stay to ensure that your review is attached to the correct rental property.
Holiday rental reviews collected via the VRBO website (formerly Homeaway) and syndicated to the Tripadvisor website are not currently subject to Tripadvisor’s standard moderation processes.

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.

We went to stay here for my father's 80th. We had a wonderful time - the house is large and spacious with beautiful outside areas. Here are my positive and negative comments:
+ All correspondence was quickly replied to with Laura.
+ We left a silver ring behind and when I called they sent to us next day.
+ Two good size fridges with freezers below and dishwasher.
+ Super size kitchen and lounge for us all.
+ Comfy beds and chairs
- Not enough hot water for us all to have showers/baths while staying. (The plumber came out to turn the water temp up but still the next day we didn't have enough water - he said the tank wasn't big enough for 12 people to have a shower/bath within 2 hours of each other)
- The ovens were a nightmare! The Aga was complicated so we decided not to use. The electric oven was tricky to use - not sure how but we locked our food in!!! The door wouldn't open (husband thinks it went on to a special cleaning mode!!). Really would appreciate a simple guideline leaflet to explain how to use the oven. We are a practical family I dread to think if we hadn't been - salad for supper every day! :)

We hired this house to enable our family of 5 siblings and partners to take our mother away to celebrate her 90th birthday. We had a wonderful time. The house is very luxurious, comfortable and spacious. It is well appointed and furnished very nicely and has quality appliances. It had everything needed for a very comfortable stay. The kitchen is large and well stocked with everything needed to cook our birthday celebration dinner. With 3 comfortable living spaces it never felt like we were getting on top of each other and allowed space for quiet time out as well as group activities. We had glorious weather and breakfasted outside every morning overlooking the boathouse and being visited on the water by the swan, ducks and geese and twice saw deer crossing the fields nearby whilst breakfasting. There were lovely ample walking paths straight from the house, allowing easy and fairly flat off road walking with several pubs within 1 to 2 miles from the house.
A very minor point which we’d like to recommend is that shower mats should be provided. Both walk in showers felt slippery and one of our group did slip in the shower and suffered bruising although nothing serious.
We would throughly recommend Grindstone Mill as a perfect setting for a large family get together. It is a beautiful house in lovely grounds, close to great walking and amenities but secluded enough to feel very private.

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.

I organised a long weekend stay at Grindstone Mill for twelve friends and family to celebrate a birthday. A chance find online, I liked the virtual tour and how it showed how well all levels of the house flow into the central kitchen and entertaining space and how much character the whole house has. The stunning setting with Lake and boathouse tucked down a long driveway completed it as a special destination.
A very minor gripe would be that we did like to put the blinds down at night, they could do with a freshen up.
But overall what a fantastic place and everyone fell for it.

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.

Deff worth the drive from London. My husband and I are from the US so this was a dream get away. The house to the pond I’m the back, the towns everything about this place was a romantic get away. It was a blast and well for sure return again :)
Only suggestion we have would be a bigger TV in the master bedroom and maybe a new TV as we had some trouble watching TV and finding what would work/load. Not sure if it’s just being in the county in the Wifi is. A little slower. Other then that it was a wonderful stay!!!

We had a wonderful few days at Grindstone Mill, helped by being there in glorious sunshine. The house is huge, comfortable, and would easily accommodate a larger party than our 7. The only, minor negative would be the cooking facilities in the kitchen. When the Aga is switched off, the only alternative is a small electric oven, with instructions in French and with no manual to help. It was too small and inefficient for our needs, and would certainly not be large enough to cook for a larger party.

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.
