The place

The House of Bread’s main building is a converted flour mill, which has been re-built several times since the original mill was built, dating back to 1026. The mill is set in its own grounds, with gardens, fields, river, mill pond and wildlife. There are many walks for guests to enjoy in the surrounding countryside and guests can also enjoy exploring the natural beauty and the pretty villages of the Cotswolds on our doorstep.
