Old Swan & Minster Mill (5*)

At the heart of the Old Minster village and with a history going back almost 600 years, the Old Swan & Minster Mill couldn't be more quintessentially English. This is the perfect spot to escape the city and explore the Cotswolds, or alternatively, to simply relax, spa and dine. The Old Swan captures the charm of bygone years, with a good measure of modern convenience, and a laid-back atmosphere of a gastro-pub inspired dining room and log-fired bar thrown in for good measure.

Next door at the Minster Mill, you’ll find a slightly less posh country-cousin. A bit of an upstart; funky modern rooms, smaller and without the history but all with the familiar style and personal touches that the de Savary Family cram in by the bucket-load. Due to open mid 2013, the state-of-the-art Windrush Spa alongside the River Windrush will have an indoor and outdoor pool, sauna, steam and a full range of specialist treatments.
