This was an experience so different from any other we have had while on vacation. We relished the silence, with no sounds other than those from nature. Edward, Hester, and their daughters were very welcoming and they gave us wonderful suggestions for places to go during the day and where to eat in the evening. We had a lovely cup of tea and brownies upon arrival, overlooking the hillside. The home is truly lovely, beds were comfortable, and breakfast was gourmet!

We look forward to welcoming you to Mine Hill House, our family home in the Cotswold countryside, where we enjoy outstanding views over three counties – Gloucestershire, Oxfordshire and Warwickshire.
The house dates from 1733, and has a wealth of period details including exposed beams, flagstone floors and big open fireplaces. It is situated in a commanding position at the top of the hill, in the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and is only a short drive from the pretty market towns of Banbury, Stow-on-the-Wold, Chipping Norton, Chipping Campden, Stratford-upon-Avon and Shipston-on-Stour.
Situated on the first floor, the guest bedroom may be arranged as either a double or a twin room. There are beautiful views over the garden and the open countryside beyond from the bedroom windows.
Beyond the en-suite bathroom is an additional small twin room, with a sloping ceiling and a very special access – over a beam and through the cupboard doors! This room is very popular with children as it is like a secret den. The bathroom is shared between the two rooms. Please note there is no shower in the bathroom.
Stunning views over unspoilt countryside • Bed and Breakfast in peaceful location • Double/twin room with ensuite bathroom
Family suite • Children welcome • Lovely walks from the back door • Dinner available by prior arrangement
