Mill End, The General Stores, Mitcheldean, Gloucestershire, sleeps 10-40 in 17 bedrooms.

The General Stores, Mill End Mitcheldean, is an absolutely perfect large house for family re-unions; 40th, 50th, 60th birthday parties with children brought along to share the occasion; big wedding anniversaries with all the generations together; active outdoor extreme sports weekends using all the local attractions; business dinners and private dining.

Mill End is also especially suitable for hosting hen parties, creating memory making weekends with a full offering of catering, cocktails, cookery classes, fresh pasta and pizza making, pamper treatments, mad hatter or themed tea parties, butler in the buff and naked art classes, boudoir photography and burlesque dance classes - all provided by sister company Bordello Banquets. Your bespoke, sophisticated hen weekend can be themed with the theatrical setting and elaborate table themes completing your distinctive weekend, with a package to suit a 'per hen' budget.

Bordello Banquets also offers indoor or alfresco buffets, three course dinners, cream teas and tea parties well suited to intergenerational family bookings and big birthdays, with vintage china, cut glass ware, bone handled cutlery and uniformed staff (including butlers in the buff) to complete the look!

The General Stores is located on the edge of a village, which has all the amenities one might need for a weekend away for intergenerational family gatherings or big birthdays in a quirky country house. You don't need to panic buy and bring all your shopping with you! However please note that Mill End is not suitable for DJs, decks, PAs or live music.

The courtyard garden is completely private and not overlooked, other than by George Cottage, affording great views up the hills behind and immediate access to the late shop, library, off-licence and take-away options within the village.

You can make the most of the surrounding forest, or spend the weekend luxuriating in the house, garden and leisure facilities - there is something for everyone.
