In the evening, relax after a busy day with your feet up in front of the fire and your favourite programme on the smart TV. The country-style kitchen has a Rangemaster oven and hob and all the mod-cons you could possibly need. Three bedrooms, two of which are en-suite, ensure you all have your own space and won't be on top of each other when you're racing out the door in the morning for your next adventure. Stepping out the front door you are greeted with lake views and breakfasts can be taken out onto the terrace. Sitting at the picnic bench you look across the Thames Mill Race, one of the only working watermills on the River Thames. There is one designated parking space and additional parking is available in the overflow car parks on site. With all the fantastic facilities that the Lower Mill Estate has to offer you are sure to have a spectacular holiday. You may find you need to return to tick everything off your list. Ground Floor Living/Dining area: Comfortably seating six, the dining area is made for family meals and competitive board games. On cooler evenings you can light the wood burning stove and read a book or watch a film together with two three-seater sofas providing enough space for everybody to sit together.

Fill the bath with bubbles and enjoy some tranquillity and time to yourself after a busy day exploring Cotswold Water Park.

This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good 10 Nov 2024 #### Lovely stay Lovely stay at this thatched Cotswold cottage on the Mill View Estate. Plenty of room for a family of four. Nice time paddle boarding and kayaking. Staff on the site were very friendly. Good communication from owners prior to stay. Some of the decor is a bit dated. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Adam L. 31 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Cosy cottage Nice traditional cottage in Mill Village. Good location in the village near to the lakes and cottage is larger than it looks especially upstairs. Good communication in advance and throughout ##### Adam L. Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2024 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent 5 Jul 2024 #### June stay for 3 nights Lovely cottage in beautiful surroundings, with every amenity you could need. We stayed with our two year old son who loved the ducks, chickens wandering the estate not to mention the two playgrounds! It wasnt warm enough for the pool but there is so much other stuff to do - we rented biked and visited the other nearby Cotswold attractions. This is a great place, dont hesitate to book it!

The estate is breath taking and we are definitely going to return! There is so much to love. The estate, the area is a good base to explore Cotswolds we ventured to Blenheim Palace, Blockley, Bourton-on-Water, of course Cirencester visited the wildlife park just an area of stunning endless beauty. The cottage was perfect and if I had to be uber critical the only feedback I could give was the parking for the property, people weren't so conscious about leaving room for others to park in the bays so we did have to park in the visitors towards the end of our week luckily there were spaces as earlier over the weekend we struggled to park our 2nd vehicle after returning from a food shop run. But otherwise there were plenty of visitor spaces for us. The cottage is divine the only feedback would be the sofas weren't very comfy and as we spent our days out exploring it's nice to be able to relax in the evening. The estate is beautiful but I didn't realise you couldn't 'walk' around them as properties are built on the water front so access is really only if you want to kayak or paddle board. We did find one lake we could access just outside the estate and enjoyed a beautiful evening walk around ##### Amanda C. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Jabal Omar Marriott Hotel, Makkah](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mecca-Hotels-Jabal-Omar-Marriott-Hotel.h11501163.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Rovaniemi](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rovaniemi-Hotels.d3059.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Residence Inn by Marriott Amsterdam Houthavens](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Amsterdam-Hotels-Residence-Inn-By-Marriott-Amsterdam-Houthavens.h21452107.Hotel-Information) > > [HiltonHotels Hotels in London](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Hilton-Hotels.0-0-d178279--bHiltonHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Anzy Panzy Hotel and Apartments](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Blackpool-Hotels-The-Beach-Hotel-And-Apartments.h17965846.Hotel-Information) > > [Marriott's Club Son Antem](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Llucmajor-Hotels-Marriotts-Club-Son-Antem.h793797.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Novotel Monte Carlo](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Monaco-Hotels-Hotel-Novotel-Monte-Carlo.h1590531.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Hatton Cross Underground Station](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hatton-Cross-Underground-Station-Hotels.d6146378.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [B&B Leicester](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Leicester-Bed-And-Breakfasts.d7583-aaBedAndBreakfasts.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Avis Hotel Bromley](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Avis-Hotel-Bromley.h25103224.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in São Miguel Island](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sao-Miguel-Island-Hotels.d6051142.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hollywood Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-Hollywood-Hotel-The-Hotel-Of-Hollywood.h12553.Hotel-Information) > > [Magic Tropical Splash](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Finestrat-Hotels-Magic-Tropical-Splash.h921050.Hotel-Information) > > [Family-Friendly Hotels in Barbados](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Destinations-In-Barbados-Family-Friendly-Hotel.0-0-d16-tFamilyFriendlyHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [5 Star Hotels in Arnside](https://www.expedia.co.uk/5Star-Arnside-Hotels.s50-0-d6341850.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels near Knebworth House](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Knebworth-House-Hotels.0-l6158812-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Britannia Cottage](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Berwick-Upon-Tweed-Hotels-Britannia-Cottage.h68737282.Hotel-Information) > > [Ocean Point Beach Resort & Spa - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/St-Johns-Hotels-Ocean-Point-Beach-Resort-Spa-Adults-Only.h11861157.Hotel-Information) > > [Novotel Cambridge North](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cambridge-Hotels-Novotel-Cambridge-North.h66147285.Hotel-Information) ### Flights ### Cars ### Packages > [Richmond Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Richmond-Park-Ham.d507730.Attraction) > > [La Palma Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/La-Palma.d6047159.Holidays-City-Breaks) ### Holiday Rentals ### General > [Visit La Castellane](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Marseille-La-Castellane.dx6160222) ---
