Set in the centre of Bibury and alongside the historic Arlington Mill, this cosy cottage puts you steps from the famous Arlington Row, the river and village pubs. There's even a trout farm next door if you’re feeling ambitious about dinner. Inside, it’s classic Cotswolds – exposed stone, wooden beams and a wood-burning stove – arranged over three floors. There’s a small courtyard out back and a bench by the front door overlooking the mill stream. Bourton-on-the-Water (often called the 'Venice of the Cotswolds') is an easy drive away for a change of scenery.

Your host can provide a travel cot for little ones upon request – just bring your own cot linen.
There’s free parking for one car.
The ceiling in some areas is on the low side. It might not be suitable for taller guests.
There is a trout farm next door with open fishing ponds, so you may notice the presence of insects when outside.
