Description
An impressive, detached stone Cotswolds cottage located in the gated village of Lower Mill, within a 450-acre nature reserve, beside the beautiful Cotswold Water Park.
Luxuriously appointed to provide a welcoming atmosphere, this cottage was reviewed by the Daily Telegraph travel section and offers tasteful, contemporary accommodation ideal for a family holiday or a get together with friends in this stunning and sought-after region of Gloucestershire.
This Cotswolds cottage offers two single bedrooms, each with additional pull-out beds, along with two spacious king-size doubles, both boasting lavish en-suite facilities and Juliet balconies overlooking the garden to the lake beyond.
The inviting sitting room houses a woodburner and a large dining table, providing the perfect opportunity to unwind by the flames at the close of a busy day.
Outside is an attractive decked area, surrounded by greenery, with side access for bike storage; a wonderful spot in which to get lost in a good book on fine afternoons, or reflect upon the events of an active day spent discovering the many facilities that the Cotswolds Water Park offers.
With complimentary use of the wide range of attractions including an outdoor heated swimming pool all year round and two tennis courts.
Kayaking, paddle boarding and fishing are available on the large lake from April - end of September, along with on-site bike hire, at an extra charge and bookable in advance.
Located close to the source of the River Thames and the Thames Path, with wonderful walking and cycling nearby and the Cotswold Way and Ridgeway a little further afield, this Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty offers something to for every guest.
In addition, there are numerous National Trust properties in the area, including the 17th Century weavers’ cottages in Bibury, an iconic Cotswold image, Chedworth Roman Villa, Sherbourne Estate or enjoy the countryside at Minchinhampton Common or Crickley Hill, all within approximately 15 miles.
Why not venture a little further afield to discover pretty Cirencester, the spa town of Cheltenham, or simply spend your time touring the many quaint villages that make up this exceptionally picturesque area?
A very special cottage in a unique part of the country.

What guests are saying
Lovely cottage in a great family location.
We only stayed for a short autumn break so couldn't make the most of the on-site facilities sadly. House is amazingly well equipped and nicely furnished throughout. Our only negative was that the 2 smaller bedrooms really are cramped if you need to use both beds, and wouldn't leave much floor space at all. Would be more cramped for families with older children. Top marks to James who was friendly and dealt with our one query extremely promptly.
I would say the photos are quite old on the listing, and make the house appear a lot bigger and brighter than it really is.
One picture isn’t even the right house? Very dark inside during the day and everything starting to look a bit tired-mouldy silicon in showers, decking could do with a bit of repair and a power wash etc. We found the cleaning a bit of a let down on our arrival, dirty cutlery and crockery, dirty pans and chopping boards. Bathrooms could really do with a deep clean, urine under toilet seats. Dead flies on window sills and dusty everywhere. Dining table majorly sticky. Not great. Just gave the whole place a feeling like it was a bit grubby. Which is a massive shame because the site is great, great facilities and location is fab. And the house could be beautiful. To be fair to James the manager he did offer to send a cleaner around to do a refresh but the impression had already been made by then and we had mopped the floor and cleaned the stuff we needed to use in the kitchen etc by then. Not what you expect to be doing after driving 5 hours.
We just had a week at Lower Mill Water Park and it was absolutely great.
The house was ideal, very comfortable and extremely well equipped. The gardenwas very secluded and secure for the dogs. The whole area felt very safe and the grandchildren had a wonderful time mixing with the other children. It was a very short way to carry the paddle boards etc to the launching stage. The swimming pool and other activity facilities were just right. We will definitely be recommending it to all our friends.
