CHRISTMAS. NEWYEARS EVE. BIG BIRTHDAYS at Mill End. Made even better with table styling or themed dining. Murder mystery or Mad Hatter’s Tea Party.

Having spent a week in Southern Spain and some time back in Bristol, the lush greenness of the in , surrounded by all the woodland is stunning. And so cool compared to Europe and urban life.

Come and try it for yourself. Breathe deeply. And relax. And if you’re an outdoorsy crew or have family to entertain over the summer, try .forestofdean

BEDROOMS AT MILL END.

Which would you choose? Each themed and named. Crazy kimonos. Vintage wallpaper. Found objects. Nothing too precious. But they create a relaxed, arty, quirky vibe.

Fabulous, well equipped kitchens and sauna & spa facilities alongside a pool table and cocktail bar offer something for everyone. With kids games, toys, books board games too.

What is there not to love? Try us.

LUCKY

View from our breakfast room/my office. We have two gooseberry bushes which never fully fruit and a HUGE fig tree to the left. The birds LOVE the overgrown, shady corner of the garden. Our tame robin hops around a foot away from your feet. And there are two nest in the laurel - different pitches of cheeping!

Awake at 4.30 this morning so I thought I’d water the garden while temperatures are low.

Mill End is a large weekend. Holiday house with a totally private sunken courtyard with a hot tub and a cold water immersion barrel plus oak sleeper steps leading up to our small lawn with a play area and sunken trampoline. Small, wild but perfectly formed.

We still have August Bank Holiday weekend free and Monday/Friday slots for mid-week breaks. Plenty for kids to do and high speed wifi if parents need to take it in turns working. Pizza oven, BBQ and fresh pasta making kit too - to combine family fun and meal prep…

FLAXLEY ABBEY & KINGSTHORNE WINES

I could try and pretend this is a new wing of Mill End. Sadly for us it’s not - it’s Flaxley Abbey, dating back to the 1300’s - a century before us. We’re 1400’s.

has taken over much of the hillside above Flaxley for its vineyard and the views down across the River Severn are stunning.

They have also taken over outbuildings and gained planning permission for a winery, restaurant and deli. It is a slow but wonderful process, alongside cleaning the small river fed by , planting fields of wild flowers, installing bird and bat boxes through their woodland and welcoming otters too.

The vineyard tour by Simon the viticulturalist was fascinating, if a little hot in 36 degree heat.

Congratulations to for having the vision.

Sorry you couldn’t make it or .

give Amy or Simon a shout. Wines produced an hour away and worthy of the BEST Bristol city wine lists.

Chefs hats off to the staff creating 4 different tray bakes for this evening, in this heat, and bitter chocolate orange pots w an Italian Pan di Stelle biscuit and fresh strawberries.

IT’S A JUNGLE OUT THERE

The private courtyard garden at Mill End - organised chaos leaning a little tok far towards chaos. But bursting with shrubs and flowers. The birds love it. Tweeting & chirruping from all directions.

The garden also has a hot tub, cold water immersion barrel, BBQ, fire pit, pizza oven, sunken trampoline and small play area.

Try to see all the different places to visit, family activities, heritage places, woodland walks in and great food and drink on the doorstep.

And see the wonderful steps the local organisations are taking to protect the nature and heritage of the region.

Fabulous for families - try a summer holiday, midweek stay. It is a lot cheaper than a weekend visit to Mill End! There is enough to entertain you on site for the whole stay, or get out and about and explore this part of the world.

The dining hall at Mill End - seating and serving up to 40 guests, with kitchens so well equipped we’ve had professional chefs compliment us.

When you bring family and friends to Mill End in the Forest of Dean in Gloucestershire, to celebrate a birthday, a hen or stag party or just because… you can use our incredibly well appointed kitchen, so well equipped we’ve had professional chefs compliment us.

Or you can use our second kitchen which is set up predominantly for baking and cocktails, splitting your group into two for a come dine with me vibe - half creates mains, the other half the desserts.

Or have come in to cook for you. No stress while you dress for the evening. And someone else lays the table and fills the 3 dishwashers for you. Yes! 3 dishwashers!

Late gaps in May and August if interested?

Welcome! The sun is shining. We have just hosted two stag weekend groups who were good as gold.

We have some wonderful hen weekends who are getting creative with their themes and choices of activity and entertainment.

And we have an International Cosmetics brand joining us soon for their annual get together - with delegates from all over the world. Who would have thought they’d choose the Forest of Dean??? But they did! To be fair we can seat 40 for meetings, socialising and dining.

Mill End hosts large but seldom. Our small cottage next door hosts little and often. The big house has gaps in May and August which we can negotiate on pricewise. DM me or email [email protected]
