An ideal place to stay
This was our second stay on the Lower Mill site. It still proves to be a lovely location.
Indian Summer exceeded our expectations. Although the photos suggest it has been "squeezed in" between other properties, there is no sense of this once inside. It is spacious, with lovely views. I suspect that in summer , it will be lovely to sit outside.
The property provided an ideal base for a week's worth of walks in the Cotswolds.
And it was (almost) a pleasure to run along the Thames each morning for my 5K run.
Highly recommended.
