Lovely cottage on beautiful estate
We were a group of 7 staying (4 adults, 3 children) for 3 nights. The cottage had everything we could need. There are 2 bedrooms perfectly set up for kids with the other 2 for adults. The bathrooms were decent and the kitchen had everything you could possibly need and more, although some cupboard space to store our food would have been nice.The outdoor dining space was very peaceful and pretty although a little overlooked.
The estate is beautiful and the cottage is very close to the activity hub, spa, pool, tennis courts, playgrounds and restaurant. Table tennis and tennis equipment hire was very cheap but be quick to book the tennis courts as by the time we went to book they were fully booked for the week!
A couple of pointers for others staying on the estate:
- The spa is wonderful! Two of us went for a head massage which was reasonably priced and very relaxing - highly recommend!
- The pool is fantastic. It was the highlight of the trip for our kids.
- The restaurant / bar has good quality food & drinks but we found the service to be painfully slow. We went for lunch when we arrived, there were only 2 other tables eating and we waited over half an hour for each course. Make sure you book if you want to have dinner there. We’d recommend The Bakers Arms pub, a 15 min walk away. Great food, great service and there’s a pizza oven in the garden.
- We found that the on site shop was severely lacking in basics so make sure to bring everything with you!

Book this place now! Wonderful Stay!!
My family of 4 adults stayed here. It did not disappoint! Tim & Victoria are perfect hosts and the communication is great. They provide a lot of useful info to plan and stay at their home.. even have an app & book. Although they tried very hard to explain where to park to drop off our things, we failed...but it's ok. Once you found the home, it was easy after that. They left many goodies to enjoy. Thank you! Their kitchen is well-stocked and has a Nespresso machine with a milk frother. I loved the frother so much I just bought one for our home. They provided many coffee capsules to start you off. I haven't used a Nespresso machine before but after googling it I was on my way! The electrical outlets have on/off switches so if the appliance isn't working check to make sure the switch is on. The wifi was great. There are only clipper outlets in the bathroom so I used the outlet in the bunkbed room in front of the mirror for drying & curling my hair. We used the dishwasher, washer/dryer with no problems (Soap goes in the double bar section of washer). We ate at the Ballihoo restaurant our first night..yummy. They have a small store there to pick up food supplies. Had a massage & facial at the spa..so relaxing. Enjoyed the Half Day Rally Experience @ Cotswold Driving Experiences..so fun! 10-course dinner with Dine Indulge at their home..worth it! We rented an electric car, charging station only a few min away and FREE. It is so beautiful there..highly recommmend!

Lovely cottage in a family-friendly estate
Lower Mill estate is great for families - lots of activities and space to run around! The cottage is well equipped - sadly not as great a view as some of the other properties at Lower Mill, but in a charming corner nevertheless. The owners are very proactive with communication and very responsive to requests.

Good stay
. The house is charming and well-equipped - good bathrooms and showers - but we didn’t really feel it was suitable for eight adults - four adults and four children max. Bike and canoe hire v pricey! Good stay but we felt very overlooked and crammed in. The impression given was of lots of space but the estate is very developed. Spa and pools excellent

Cotswolds experience with the Girls
The property was in a lovely location, convenient and easy to access all the facilities which were great! From Cycling to swimming, paddle boarding , picnicking, as well as a lovely private chef experience in the property. The property was bit smaller than seen in the pics, we did expect only one bunk bed room , but there was two, but probably we did not read the info correctly, the hosts and owners were fantastic!

Fantastic communications and instructions from all sides both pre and during stay which made it stress free. Lovely clean home in wonderful location for a family break - walking distance to swimming, tennis, kayaking, bike hire, bird hides and so much more all weekend!

Highly recommend for a relaxing family break
The cottage is lovely with everything you could need and a gorgeous decking area. The estate has fantastic facilities with two brilliant outdoor pools as well as sauna, steam, water sports, football pitch, tennis and some gorgeous walks. The onsite restaurant is really good and the local pub is nice too. Be sure to bring enough food or have your order delivered as the onsite shop is limited. It really was the ideal place for a family weekend for people from 70-7. Would return again and again!
