Lovely property in the Cotswolds area by lakes where you can hire all sorts of water craft. Lovely HEATED outdoor swimming pool on site and a lovely pub 10 mins walk away for a great meal and beer. Property allowed a small dog which was great. Would I go again; YES

From booking to departure and everything in between, our stay at Juniper House was fantastic. Linda and Neil were excellent hosts, informative, supportive and full of knowledge of the estate. The house itself was very well laid out and comfortable. As an enthusiastic amateur cook, I have never been in a rental property with such an array of kitchenware and appliances. The estate is a really great place for families. We will certainly be visiting again.

Wow! This cottage is delightful and comes with so many quirky features, and is kitted out with everything you’ll ever need! It’s also deceptively large with 4 bedrooms (2 with lovely en suites). After a long day out it was lovely to return and it is so well located for the nearby pub/restaurant, spa and pool, and of course the activity hub and outdoor pool with so much going on. Location-wise this cottage is perfectly situated, yet at night you can hear a pin drop outside amidst the peace. We loved our stay so much, we wish we could have stayed longer. Thank you for everything!

A surprisingly spacious 4 bed cottage with the most delightful terrace overlooking a little stream and a village pond to the front. Our enquiries were met speedily and with a genuine desire to help as these 4 retiree’s planned our active weekend of walking, shopping, eating & drinking. The Lower Mill Estate is a fascinating and beautiful place to visit with so much to do for all ages, the spa looked great (passes in the property waiting for us) although we didn’t get around to going! The house is welcoming, very well equipped, spotlessly clean with some lovely touches. The beds deliciously comfortable and the fireplace hypnotically enjoyable. Thank you Neil for your welcome & thank you Linda for allowing us to stay in your charming home.

I recently stayed at the property with 4 friends for a birthday weekend. We had a fabulous time & are currently looking to come back in May already! Where to start ...! Location-wise, the house is really well positioned within the estate - 5 mins walk from the main shop / restaurant etc, but still being in the slightly quieter area. The house itself is difficult to fault - 4 big bedrooms, all with insanely comfortable beds & bedding (took a note of the brands to copy at home!). It also has all the kit already there for rustling up whatever dish you want & eating it either inside (at the cool rustic table) or outside on the deck that overlooks the water. I have to mention the furniture - we loved it so much that we had to ask the house manager (great guy - always available) to speak to the owner & find out where some of it had come from! We also loved the welcome pack that greeted us - all the (gorgeous, locally sourced) essentials to have whilst we waited for our shop to arrive. We also took full advantage of the facilities whilst we were there - fitting in paddle boarding, tennis, kayaking, walking, swimming & a spa visit (to recover!). The spa is great - lovely treatments & really knowledgable staff. The onsite restaurant is also totally worth a visit - we ate there on one evening & it was really buzzing, with delicious food & the most friendly staff we may ever have encountered. Honestly can't fault either this particular house, or the estate in general. I think I may become a regular visitor with both my friends and family.

We had another lovely stay at the Lower Mill estate. Kids enjoyed the watersports, bike rentals, swimming and tennis and the independence of having it all within easy access. The cottage was a good space for the 2 families - 2 mums, 4 kids with a well stocked kitchen. It was a little dusty as nobody had stayed for awhile, which did also mean a lot of quite large spiders. Probably inevitable as you are so near the water but they were some of the biggest I have ever seen or had to deal with!
