Description Garden Tales: Barford Saint John

Whether you’re in search of a cosy countryside escape or an action-packed Cotswold adventure, this home welcomes you to enjoy it all from its peaceful spot just outside Barford St John. Dating back to the 16th century, this old watermill still retains a wonderful sense of character, while also offering comfort, warmth and a range of luxurious extras – including an outdoor hot tub, roll-top bath and wood-burning stove. Children and dogs are welcome here – although they will need to be supervised by the stream in the garden. From here, you’ll find great walking trails, plus it’s just a short drive to neighbouring Great Tew and Soho Farmhouse.
