Our Cottages
The Old Mill and Blandfords, our two period cottages, are next to each other in Oakridge Lynch, a delightful village located in the South Cotswolds, a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. They can be taken together for large parties of around 28. For additional accommodation, you can also rent The Snuggery, a small flat just across the road.
Both the cottages are old – early eighteenth century – and have many lovely period features such as mullioned windows, oak beams, tiny doorways and spiral stairs. These do, however, mean that they are not suitable for some guests. If you have any special requirements, please contact us before you book.
When you arrive, you will find the beds – which can unzip and suit either couples or singles – made up with freshly laundered bedlinen. A fluffy bath sheet and hand towel is provided for each guest plus bath mats and teatowels. In winter, the heating will have been left on the day before you arrive so the house will be cosy and warm. Both cottages have central heating but there are plenty of logs left for your use. There is nothing quite like a real fire!
The cottages are self-catering so you need to bring your own food and provisions. Generous fridges and good cupboard space should swallow up your supplies and the dishwashers will cope with the washing up. Pots, pans, crockery, cutlery and glassware are plentiful.
How long can you stay?
We specialise in weekend breaks and our standard weekend runs from Friday after 3pm to Monday at 10am. Changeover days are both Monday and Friday so, if you want a week or a fortnight, you can chose either day to begin your holiday on. If you have any special requests, please call and ask. If we can be flexible, we will. For the growing number of corporate guests who want an off site venue that is more personal than a hotel, we can offer very attractive rates midweek.
