Mill End is on the edge of a village, with all the shops & takeaways you might need for a weekend away in a quirky country house. You don't need to panic buy & bring all your shopping with you! But as Mill End is in a village, please note that it is not good for DJs, decks, PAs or live music - or music outside.

Mill End is 3 properties internally linked, lovingly converted over the years by ex-fashion designer Liz Lewitt. The private courtyard garden has a Mediterranean feel, has great views and walks up the hills & into local woodland with everything else the Forest of Dean & Wye Valley offer close by. Further woodland trails are 5 minutes walk away, with a monolithic well for cold water plunging, mountain bike tracks & rivers for canoeing & SUP.
