About this property

Arlington Mill - sleeps 12 guests in 5 bedrooms

Arlington Mill is an impressive feature of Bibury and tourists often stop to snap a photo. Staying here you are in the heart of this beautiful village which has managed to keep the modern world at bay. Charming streets, beautiful riverside strolls and some great options for meals out are on your doorstep.

Once used to mill corn and process wool, the house today embraces this history. Keep an eye out for exposed Cotswold stone and old beams leftover from its past. Set over four floors the open plan living and dining area is the most dramatic space. Gather here as a group for meals beside the milling wheel, play the piano and listen to the waters as they rush by. The kitchen has a handy breakfast table and there is so much space to store your essentials and keep the chef of your group company. A second sitting room on the first floor brings everyone together to watch TV and the wonderfully spacious master bedroom is also here. The super king-size four poster adds luxury to your evening and there is a fabulous freestanding bath in the en-suite. With a family bedroom, en-suites and a twin room on the top floor there is more than enough space to accommodate everybody comfortably.

Outside you hear the rush of the mill waters and overlook the Trout Farm. Set the table and head over to catch your own fish to grill on the BBQ for the freshest meal possible. With the beauty of Bibury just outside, an after-dinner stroll to Arlington Row is a must, making the most of the quieter times. The historic Roman town of Cirencester, Burford and its treasure-trove garden centre, and Bourton-on-the-Water are all beautiful spots to explore for a day out.

Ground Floor

Sitting/Dining Room
This is the most spectacular space in the house with exposed beams, the beautifully lit wooden wheel and a woodburning stove within its stone surround. Split into a dining and seating area there are two three-seater sofas beside the fire where conversation thrives. If you have any music maestros in your group an upright piano awaits to serenade you while dinner is served. The dining table seats 12 and is an elegant setting for group get togethers.

Kitchen
Arranged to suit your needs, the large kitchen has worktop space and cupboard storage in abundance. A range cooker, two fridge/freezers, microwave, coffee machine and the expected small appliances make sure you have everything you need. Ancient beams add interest and there is a breakfast table that seats five.

Utility
Hidden to one side just off the dining area is the utility with a washing machine, tumble dryer and a sink.

Cloakroom
In the entrance hall is a cloakroom with a WC and basin.

10/10 Excellent

The perfect house for our group of 10 friends.

We really enjoyed staying at Arlington Mill. It was well equipped, clean, comfortable and spacious. There was enough space for our group of 10 friends and the bed combinations worked well. It is in a lovely location and easy to reach many other places in the Cotswolds area. Beds are good. It was lovely having all en-suite bathrooms, although in an ideal word there would be more showers and less baths. But everything was in good order and we would definitely recommend staying here.
Response from VrboOwner on 30 April 2026
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review of your recent stay at Arlington Mill. We're delighted to hear the space, comfort, and layout worked well for you all, and that you were able to make the most of the beautiful location! We also really appreciate your feedback regarding the bathrooms. Due to the character and structure of the building—particularly the ceiling heights in certain areas, the owners are limited in how many showers we can install in places. We hope we can welcome you back to The Cotswolds another time!
