Enjoy a stately visit to this grand home in the southern Cotswolds. With six bedrooms, Grindstone can accommodate up to twelve guests and welcomes those to enjoy the lavish interiors, manicured gardens and untouched countryside with views of the old mill from the backyard. Boasting two reception rooms with fireplaces, an open-plan kitchen and a small study, an extended family would surely benefit from this large space in such an idyllic setting. Although you'll be able to enjoy total privacy here, you're just six miles from Badminton, ten miles from Highgrove and twenty miles from Bath and Bristol, giving you the chance to get in on the action, should you ever need it.
