This stylish retreat set within the idyllic grounds of the Lower Mill Estate offers the perfect blend of contemporary comfort and unspoilt nature, ideal for families or groups seeking a relaxing countryside escape. Celebrating nature, wildlife and the great outdoors, the peaceful Lower Mill Estate is a haven for keen outdoor adventurers and anyone who loves nothing better than discovering beautiful landscapes. The Leisure & Wellness Club, water sports and equipment rental, and a magnificent nature reserve on-site offer the opportunity for you to experience the very best of the Cotswolds' inviting and playful spirit. Boasting the UK's largest inland beach and some fabulous walking trails and children’s playgrounds, Cotswold Country Park & Beach (1 mile) is a great family fun day out. Bursting with history and heritage, the charming market town of Cirencester, 6 miles away, offers a great range of shops and eateries to enjoy.




The heart of this home-away-from-home can be found in the beautifully designed open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner. A soothing neutral colour palette and contemporary finish throughout create a wonderfully inviting atmosphere that’ll capture your imagination. An abundance of picture windows floods the space with natural light and frames delightful views across your stunning lakeside surroundings. From the lounge area, patio doors open onto the balcony, seamlessly blending the cosy interior with your picturesque setting. During the cooler months, fire up the roaring wood burner to warm chilly toes at the end of a busy day exploring the lakes. The large dining table and stylish kitchen provide everything you need to enjoy fantastic feasts and celebration meals with your whole party. The cosy snug is the perfect peaceful spot to catch up on a good book or plan tomorrow’s adventure. There’s also the added luxury of a utility room with a washing machine, tumble dryer and WC. Upstairs, you’ll find four blissful bedrooms that promise a dreamy rest. The two king-size bedrooms both feature stylish en-suite shower rooms, as well as access to private balconies. The two twin bedrooms offer a haven of tranquillity to retire to, with the family bathroom on this level providing everything you need to feel refreshed.




From the first-floor landing, an expansive roof terrace can be accessed via an electrically operated roof light. This furnished outdoor space makes an ideal spot for soaking up your fresh, lakeside air amongst peaceful, far-reaching views across the estate. Back on the ground floor, the idyllic balcony offers ample room for al fresco dining, sunbathing and stargazing long into the evening. There’s plenty to explore across the surrounding Lower Mill Estate, from winding walks and cycle routes to shared leisure facilities including an indoor and outdoor pool, water sports, yoga sessions and fishing.
