About this property
Waterloo Mill Cottage. A historic converted Cotswold mill with soul, story and a modern cottage style. Waterloo Mill Cottage is not just a place to stay — it’s a place with a story. Set in the heart of the beautiful market town of Wotton-under-Edge, this four-bedroom home forms part of a former woollen mill built in 1815, named to commemorate the victory at the Battle of Waterloo led by the Duke of Wellington. Today, the history still gently hums beneath the surface.A natural spring continues to run through the cellar, just as it did during the original milling process, flowing out behind the former Engine House and joining Dyers Brook — a quiet reminder of the building’s industrial past.
Spread over four floors, Waterloo Mill Cottage blends historic character with a warm, lived-in feel.Interiors are thoughtfully styled to feel calm, welcoming and comfortable — a true home-from-home rather than a standard holiday let. The ground floor comprises a spacious boot room and a cosy living room overlooking the courtyard garden — perfect for unwinding. Curl up with a book beside the wood-burning stove or settle in for an unhurried evening with friends or family. The first floor is home to the spacious kitchen-diner — the heart of the house.A relaxed, sociable space for slow breakfasts, long lunches and evenings spent cooking and catching up together, set against a beautiful backdrop of Cotswold stone.
The contemporary bathroom on this floor features a roll-top bath and soft, ambient lighting — ideal for winding down after a day exploring. When it’s time to sleep, the property comfortably sleeps up to eight guests. The second floor offers three bedrooms: two spacious rooms with king-size beds and a third that can be configured as a twin. The impressive characterful master bedroom is located on the third floor, set within the roof space, with sloping ceilings , exposed wooden beams and super king size bed. Outside, the enclosed cottage garden is a peaceful, plant-filled retreat.Enjoy relaxed alfresco moments on the garden furniture — perfect for morning coffee, evening drinks or simply slowing down.
Step outside and you’re just a short stroll from Wotton-under-Edge, with its independent shops, award-winning cafés, restaurants and the vibrant Under the Edge Arts Centre. The surrounding Cotswolds offer endless opportunities for walking and exploring, with villages such as Chipping Campden, Broadway and Bourton-on-the-Water nearby.
