Squirrels Leap was very well equipped. They have catered for children very well and had everything you needed to be able to occupy a family on rainy days. It is a home from home with lovely views of the lake.The sofas in the main area of the room were really low for us as we are a tall family.Unusually the beds were super comfy too.One comment which is not the owners fault is the mention of an outside heated pool. The pool outside most definitely was not heated and the inside pool was cool. We had a 9 month old baby with us and the pool was too cold for her to stay in for very long but apart from that its a good base to explore the area ##### Angela Wessen This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lee 23 Nov 2020 #### We had a great winter stay in Squirrels Leap with our two young daughters. We had a great winter stay in Squirrels Leap with our two young daughters. Very spacious four bedroom house. Very well equipped including a great play room and lots of toys for young kids. The village is good with both indoor pool and heated outdoor pool. Good base to explore the Cotswolds from. Beds could be more comfortable but they are not the worst.

This is an excellent property with a truly beautiful view. We had a wonderful week. The kitchen is well stocked (perhaps slightly too stocked), everything that you need at the house, easy to find with lots to do within a local drive. The walks/cycle rides around the estate are lovely. The outside playground area where you could have drinks/pizza/ice cream was great. It was a pain having to book swimming pools (pandemic related). But the pools themselves were brilliant. We didn’t take advantage of the activities on the lake, but these looked great too. Some minor cleaning issues, but nothing that wasn’t easy to sort out.

House beautiful, so comfortable and plenty of room for family. There was 8 adults in my group and kitchen had plenty of crockery and utensils. Bedrooms very nice and comfortable. The views across lake fantastic and to be able to sit outside on the very large veranda Only thing I was not impressed with was the so called shop. it was so small and hardly anything there so take your essentials with you, on Sunday morning shop almost empty of items and no bread. Would thoroughly recommend The Wheatsheaf Inn in Oaksey for a meal, very friendly and my granddaughter is a vegan and they checked beforehand what she liked and the chef did her a lovely meal. it was nice to be able to have breakfast out on the veranda and also to launch canoes, paddle boards from there. ##### June This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lin 18 Apr 2019 #### We had the most wonderful stay at Squirrels Leap celebrating my husbands surprise 70th birthday. We had the most wonderful stay at Squirrels Leap celebrating my husbands surprise 70th birthday. Property was lovely and the countryside spectacular as were the sunsets and the sunrises. Would highly recommend. My only thought was there was almost too much in all the cupboards and wardrobes meaning you would have to search for what you were looking for. Our whole experience from booking to coming home has been highly professional and most enjoyable. Thank you. ##### Lin This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Andrea 27 Oct 2018 #### The location is fantastic, the house is amazing, really Family Friendly facilities, we had an amaz The location is fantastic, the house is amazing, really Family Friendly facilities, we had an amazing time. ##### Andrea This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Elizabeth 8 Oct 2018 #### We all loved the house and have never stayed anywhere that had such a well equipped kitchen. We all loved the house and have never stayed anywhere that had such a well equipped kitchen. The play area within the house was also a big hit with the children and has a large selection of toys, games and books. The location is beautiful and we all enjoyed exploring the area. The family made use of the swimming pool, outside play area and restaurant. There was something for everyone whose ages ranged from one to sixty. ##### Elizabeth ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Karma St. Martin's](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Isles-Of-Scilly-Hotels-Karma-St-Martins-Hotel.h9248220.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Quirinale](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rome-Hotels-Hotel-Quirinale.h1058.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels with smoking rooms in Cyprus](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Destinations-In-Cyprus-Hotels-With-Smoking-Rooms.0-0-d45-tHotelswithsmokingrooms.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Stunning City Centre 2 Bedroom Apartments](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Liverpool-Hotels-Stunning-City-Centre-2-Bedroom-Apartments.h29473960.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels with Gym in Southend-on-Sea](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Southend-On-Sea-Hotels-Hotel-With-Gym.0-0-d179500-thotelwithgym.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [IntercityHotel Dubai Jaddaf Waterfront](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dubai-Hotels-InterCityHotel-Dubai-Jaddaf-Waterfront.h48183630.Hotel-Information) > > [EVEN Hotel Brooklyn by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/New-York-Hotels-EVEN-Hotel-Brooklyn.h12703852.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Mola di Bari](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mola-Di-Bari-Hotels.d6123520.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [TravelodgeUK Hotels in Tavistock](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tavistock-Hotels-Travelodge-UK.0-0-d5709--bTravelodgeUK.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Woodhall Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Woodhall-Spa-Hotels.d4793.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Villas Málaga](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Malaga-Villas.d312-aaVillas.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Oceanfront Studio, Indoor water park, Pools, View!](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Myrtle-Beach-Hotels-Indoor-Water-Park.h62612753.Hotel-Information) > > [Mercure Bali Legian](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Legian-Hotels-Mercure-Bali-Legian.h9093688.Hotel-Information) > > [No 11](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-No-11.h8055943.Hotel-Information) > > [Britannia Cottage](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Berwick-Upon-Tweed-Hotels-Britannia-Cottage.h68737282.Hotel-Information) > > [5 Star Hotels in Wimbledon](https://www.expedia.co.uk/5Star-Wimbledon-London-Hotels.s50-n179539-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Quinta da Bela Vista - Madeira](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Funchal-Hotels-Quinta-Da-Bela-Vista-Madeira.h994452.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Atlanta (ATL) to Austin (AUS)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/atl/aus/atlanta-to-austin) > > [Flights from Ballasalla (IOM) to Paisley (GLA)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/iom/gla/isle-of-man-to-glasgow) > > [Turkish Airlines Accra (ACC) to Birmingham (BHX) flights](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flight-routes/turkish-airlines-from-kotoka-intl-to-birmingham/tk/acc/bhx) > > [Flights from Isle of Lewis (SYY) to London (LHR)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/syy/lhr/stornoway-to-london) > > [Flights from Gatwick (LGW) to Hamburg (HAM)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lgw/ham/london-to-hamburg) ### Cars > [Car hire in March](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Compare-Cheap-Car-Hire-In-March.d6142985.Car-Hire-Guide) > > [Europcar at Bristol Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Europcar-at-Bristol-Airport.v18360.Car-Rental-Guide-Location) ### Packages > [Williams Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Williams.d7638.Holidays-City-Breaks) > > [Cyprus](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/theme-holidays/romantic-holidays/45/Cyprus) ### General > [Visit Abercraf](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Abercraf.dx3000012599) > > [Visit Denshaw](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Denshaw.dx6063093) > > [Visit London](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London.dx178279)
