This is a super house just perfect for our long weekend. We were 6 adults and the house was just what we were looking for. Super clean, very helpful host and a warm welcome. Also a lovely warm house (despite the freezing temperatures outside) with lashings of hot water. Great spot, with fantastic walks and local amenities, close to Cirencester for shops etc. We would definitely book again. ##### Lee D.

A perfect base at a great location to explore the area - close to walks; cycle routes; outdoor activity centres; towns (Cirencester, Burford, Tetbury etc); vineyard tastings (Poulton) and Bibury (trout farm). Lovely to return to the lakeside view and a bonus to sit on the veranda in the sun. A most enjoyable’mini break’ ##### Joanne S.

Neil the host was very attentive and always answered any online questions very quickly. He very kindly let us enter the property a few hours earlier than stated which we very much appreciated. The area has lots to offer, and we enjoyed trips out to Bibury trout farm, Oxford and Legoland plus lots of walks.. We highly recommend a stay at this property. ##### Louise S.

It was perfect for 3 of us. However I booked this for 5 adults but the second double bedroom was entirely taken up by the bed and there was no room to even put down a bag and even for the single guest would have been very claustrophobic. So it was just as well the second couple couldn't come at the last moment. I would have been writing a very different review and giving a different rating if there had been 5 of us. The only other thing to note is that Spring Lake is used for water skiing so if you are after a quiet time watching the birds perhaps another lake might suit more. The house was well appointed and spotless. ##### Jennifer H.
