Millbank Cottage
Description
Millbank Cottage is a beautiful property which sleeps four guests, in two elegantly presented bedrooms, with two bathrooms. Dating back to the early 19th century, it is a Listed Conservation cottage and retains a wealth of character features including an impressive inglenook fireplace with a wood burning stove, exposed beams and original flagstone flooring. These period touches are complemented by modern facilities such as wireless internet access, three Smart TVs and underfloor heating in the bathrooms. There is a delightful enclosed garden at the rear, and free on-street parking is readily available.
Millbank Cottage is tucked away on a quiet lane in the picturesque village of Mickleton. The village benefits from having a number of amenities with a farm shop, post office, butchers, two popular pubs and The Three Ways House Hotel, host of the renowned Pudding Club. Surrounded by glorious countryside, there are many footpaths and cycle routes on its doorstep including those to neighbouring Ilmington, Ebrington and Chipping Campden, the latter being the starting point of the Cotswold Way long distance walking trail.
Mickleton is well-placed for visiting the many lovely towns and villages of the region such as Stow-on-the-Wold, Stratford-upon-Avon, Broadway and Bourton-on-the-Water. The Cotswolds is also home to a variety of tourist attractions including Batsford Arboretum, National Trust owned Hidcote Gardens and Snowshill Manor, Sudeley Castle and the Cotswold Distillery. Further afield destinations such as Oxford, Blenheim Palace and Bath are easily accessible for day trips. Millbank Cottage is the ideal retreat for a romantic break for two or for a group of friends or family who are seeking a relaxing holiday in the countryside.

What guests are saying
A very pleasant cottage conveniently situated.
A good base and spectacular walks in surrounding areas.
Millbank Cottage is a well looked after spotlessly clean holiday home.
The kitchen is well equipped and there is a lovely seating area in the back garden. The cottage is in a great location to visit the sights of the Cotswolds We didn’t really use the sitting room much as we were out and about in the good weather & obviously didn’t need to use the fire which I imagine making the cottage very cosy in the winter months The stairs are quite steep and narrow they were ok for us but maybe tricky for some and the little step into the bedrooms took some getting used to as did the low beam entering the living room (for anyone tall) Adrian the owner was great and only a phone call or text away if we needed him There are a couple of great pubs within very easy walking distance The only very slight issue we had was the unloading and loading of the car we had quite a lot of luggage and bags as aswell as a weeks holiday we were attending a wedding. There is no parking at the cottage and with it being at the entrance to a private road & next doors garage it was difficult not to obstruct the area. If we were visiting the area again we would definitely look to book again
What a lovely cottage we'll looked after.
For us the settee was a bit low and the stairs a bit steep, and it could have done with a handle in the showers but over all it's a great place to stay it's a shame for the owners that some days the road out side is used as a cut threw
