The General Stores, Mill End Street, Mitcheldean is a large property dating back to the 1400's, which is available for holiday or business let, for full weeks or weekend and mid-week breaks, for team building and training, for weddings, for photoshoots and film location and for family and friends. It sleeps 14-20 and includes a self-contained family unit.

The General Stores is a 45 minute drive from Bristol, and has easy access from London, Birmingham, Cheltenham and Gloucester. It is situated in a village location, so has immediate access to a late shop and off-licence, a take-away, a family butcher, three pubs and a post office. Yet it's position on the edge of the village and it's courtyard lay-out means that the garden is completely private and quiet, and has great views up to the bracken covered hills behind the village. There are playing fields and swings in the village, and some beautiful right-of-way walks up the wooded hills to each side of the property.

The General Stores was featured in Grand Designs magazine when it was for sale (see below) before being bought and lovingly renovated by the current owners. To get a closer look at the current interior and exterior please click here.

If you are a smaller group, or have a very set budget in mind, I can negotiate, and it is possible to have only two of the three units if that suits your group size or budget better. Please let me know your specific requirements, and whether your group is an adult only, walking/outdoor, hen or stag, or family type get-together with children/babies – and I can suggest which facilities would be most suitable.

Mitcheldean is located on the A4136. In the centre of Mitcheldean, in the Ross direction, with the church infront of you to the left, the George pub on the right and Steve Gooch Estate Agents also on your left, turn left in to Mill End. The General Stores is the half timbered, medieval property on the left.

Drive past the property and take the second left turn onto Baynham Road. Take the first left into New Street, and proceed to the bottom. There is a set of wooden gates infront of you, leading into a gravelled car-park. This is the parking for the property. Go through the second set of gates, down the steps and proceed to theback door where you will see a combination key safe by the back door. Visitors are requested to arrive no earlier than 5.00pm on day of arrival, and leave no later than 10.00 am on day of departure.

Please text the owner Liz Lewitt on 07971 249 726 or e-mail on postmaster@millendmitcheldean.co.uk, prior to your arrival for the combination code for the key safe.

Also please be advised that the hot tub is completely emptied, cleaned, re-filled and chlorinated between each group of guests and so sometimes will not have reached optimum temperature by arrival time of new guests. Please do not be tempted to touch any dials other than the middle jet button and the two grey, turning jet dials. The jets will come on periodically of their own accord to continue and maintain the heating process during your stay. Thank you.

On departure, please put all your rubbish, properly bagged, and your re-cycling in the car-park binstore, close all windows, remove sheets from beds if you have time, close all windows and return the key to the key safe, remembering to change the combination. Thank you.
