A short Monday to Friday break with husband, daughter and her new 3 month old baby. Park and lodge were ideal. Lovely comfortable lodge, lots to do in surrounding area and eating facilities around were excellent. Will come back!
I came here with my boyfriend for my Aunt's birthday. As it was November and a rainy grey weekend, the Hot Tub kept us entertained. My brother was in it for dawn and I went in after dinner to see stars. With Cirencester nearby and many walks it didn't matter the weather wasn't in tune with our happy mood. It was a super break and great to have all the family together.
First impressions were excellent. Once checked in noticed the skirting in the kitchen was hanging off so mentioned this to Orion. They immediately sent round someone to fix this. Within an hour they also sent round a rep to welcome us to the house and made sure everything was as we wished. Couldn’t fault the house and the facilities. Would definitely stay again if the price was affordable.
Our 3rd time in the Cotswolds and it never disappoints. The Landings is one of the best houses we've stayed in - really spacious and everything you need inside, as well as a fabulous decking area that got the sun all day and well into the evening. The hot tub was great and maintained every day by the owner. Both Orion and Kev, the owner of the property were excellent - Orion gave us excellent proactive customer service, and Kev was so helpful and welcoming - providing tennis equipment and the bonus of having paddle board & kayak at the house...very much enjoyed! Would fully recommend this ...more
Would love to stay again - a really lovely property in a beautiful location. The Orion team were excellent. Thank you
enjoyable used it as a base to tour the Cotswolds with family and friends bed in attic room a bit to low
We very much enjoyed our stay as a group in Clearwater 74. The hot tub was lovely and even in October it was nice enough to spend the evening in outside. The accommodation was clean and comfortable with lots of different areas to hang out in. Customer service prior to arrival were very helpful.
Booked this to revisit Christmas after it was disrupted by covid. Grandchildren enjoyed the water and other sports available. They kept them away from their screens. Chalet was well appointed, comfortable and suited us fine. Convenient for trips to locations such as Stonehenge, Bath, and Cirencester.
Three generation stayed in the same house loads of space and everything lovely. Booked again for next year. Orion staff very courteous and helpful would recommend
Lovely 12 day stay at the lodge, it was very quiet and peaceful and the lodge was wonderful and in a great location. There was building work opposite the lodge but didn’t hear a thing. House was equipped with everything you need for a short stay and lots of things to do a short drive away as well. Would definitely recommend to go!
A lovely property right on the edge of the lake. With its own access for ease of kayaking or paddle boarding. The property was very comfortable and easily catering for a family of four + dog. Kitchen requires updating along with all kitchen utensils etc. Would recommend.
Super weekend, loved the house. But dishwasher failed, no maintenance man. Unable to borrow racquets.
My Husband, daughter, myself and my dog stayed at Trout view lodge in November. It was a beautiful, clean and lovely place to stay. There was everything we needed for our stay. Great location. I would highly recommend this lodge. The staff were friendly especially Libby, she was very helpful and kind when we arrived and allowed us into the lodge a few hours early. Very helpful and friendly staff, thank you for a lovely stay.
Our second holiday in Windrush 62. Absolutely spotless. A very comfortable home and we are sure we'll be back again.
Very clean, and comfortable. Attention to detail was evident, with everything we needed provided for an enjoyable family break.
Spotlessly clean, comfortable house. Very close to the spa and restaurant but still nice and quiet. Everything we could have needed was supplied and we look forward to returning again.
Lodge is very well equipped. Views over the lake and the bird life are a joy to observe. The grounds are immaculately maintained and I have enjoyed lovely walks. Isis Lake is well situated for trips to Bath, Cheltenham, Oxford and of course the whole of the Cotswolds. Close by there is a very good selection of pubs and eateries. The Crown at Cerney Wick is excellent.
We found the property to be as described. The kitchen was well equipped and the team had left nice welcoming touches for our 100th birthday celebrations. We contacted the team about early check in and later check out and they were very accommodating, since we had family ranging from 3years to 100 years to accommodate. The location of the property was lovely and it was quiet, but this may be due to time of year too! The house was lovely and warm on arrival and there were enough logs to light fires during our stay too which made it extra cosy. We all had a great time and would definitely recomme...more
Everything was as expected, within walking distance of village with nice pubs, close to all the activities. Would highly recommend the Waterside Kitchen and Bar, excellent food.
Super location on Isis Lake with quick access to tennis courts etc. House was ideal for a holiday and immaculately clean. Lovely friendly holiday complex and the customer service at Orion was exemplary.
Excellent location for touring the Cotswolds area. Beautiful location right on the water’s edge. Property fairly comfortable, clean and tidy. Jack and Jill bathroom rather compact but good showers. More than enough crockery, glasses etc and a fabulous selection of games and activity equipment for rain days. Lounge furniture and general decor could maybe benefit from an update. Overall we had a fantastic stay.
We had a fabulous short break. The house was perfect, great location. Excellent accessibility for disabled relative - the downstairs bedroom, bathroom and layout was perfect. Absolutely spotless house. Locally we visited the nearby brasserie, lakes and hotel for walks but we generally just relaxed at the house. It had all that we needed for a short break. Well equipped house and just very lovely. Highly recommend. We will stay again. Orion were very helpful and easy to book with again too.
The property was fantastic. Very clean and well equipped. Amazing view over the lake from the nice big veranda. We could hardly fault the place and would recommend it. Big beds and two huge settees made it a comfortable stay. Lots for families to do both in the Isis lake encampment and also around the lakes area. Very safe for the kids to just go out of the front door and explore. Loved the whole holiday.
Lovely holiday! The lakes are clean and lots of fish and birds. Ideal for a relaxing fishing holiday.
We had a great family stay for a long weekend, with 3 families spread across 2 properties. The setting is fantastic, with lovely grounds to walk around, pretty lakes and the ability to kayak/paddleboard in one lake. The kids had a brilliant time and spent hours in the play area, which was less than 100m from the house. Would definitely stay again
We all had a lovely stay for a family birthday celebration. The house was ideally located, clean and a good size. The check in process was straightforward and the bottle of wine on arrival was a lovely touch. We were nicely surprised by how much was provided in the house too.
Really nice house in a quieter part of the complex. We visited during a very hot spell but luckily there was a small outside space with trees so that and the house had shade for most of the time. House very well equipped. There was Wi-Fi provided but was very poor between 1 and 3 mbps not sure what speed was paid for but would have thought it would be more than that, we managed luckily. There is plenty to do if you have young children. The whole complex for me felt very crowded with houses all very close together, quite narrow roads around the place but that I suppose made it safer as you had...more
The property we stayed in was perfect. We were three generations, ranging from 7-70+ years. There was lots to do for all of us. At the property, there was a good internet connection and plenty of TV streaming services to keep the kids happy. The property was very well equipped with a good kitchen area. The couple of utensils that were not available were quickly supplied after a quick call to the reception number. Beds were wonderful with high quality mattresses. The only slight downside was a standard 9 tog duvet all year round. We could have done with something lighter in the summer. Not...more
We were very impressed with the lodge. We were able to have all of our family members to stay for my wife’s 80th Birthday which is exactly what she wanted. Also able to have close friends visit her throughout the weekend. We are thinking about making it an annual even, which was suggested by my Daughter and sons. We were lucky with the weather which made it perfect for our grandchildren especially with the jacuzzi. Thank you for a perfect weekend
We had a most enjoyable weekend break with my family to celebrate my 70th birthday! Everything was as expected and the hot tub was the icing on the cake! It would have been nice to be located a little nearer to a restaurant/pub but otherwise the area was attractively landscaped overlooking Windrush Lake.
We spent 6 nights at Water's Edge and it didn't disappoint in any way. Everything was spotlessly clean. We decided to "eat in" a lot of the time as it was so beautiful out on the verandah. The kitchen was so well equipped and every gadget was top quality. In fact, everything exceeded out expectations. I definitely would not hesitate on booking again and can't wait to go back again.
We stay on the lake a couple of times a year and this was our first stay in No. 19. We had a lovely holiday and it’s probably the best location on Spring lake that we’ve stayed in - as close to the lake as you can get, without losing the grassy area that the children love to play on. Just a few yards from the lakeside Brasserie and water sports. Having glass instead of wooden fencing around the decking was a really lovely addition and view of the lake. It was really well equipped - especially the kitchen. There were just a few things that would enhance comfort and make it competitive w...more
A beautiful apartment with lovely view over the lake. Super clean and comfortable, was a lovely place to spend the bank holiday weekend !
Lovely house in a great location. Really well equipped for eight adults and one child. We visited in school holidays so all activities (other than the Spa) needed pre-booking.
A lovely seven days spent here. First time at the Lower Mill Estate and will 100% be back. The house was a great location due to the view and being so close to the pools and restaurant. The lake view is stunning to wake up to and equally to watch the sun set over. We had loads of towels (really nice quality ones too) and the kitchen had everything you’d need to cook with (rare in a rental even when advertised that way.) Orion customer service is fab. We left something small at the house which they found and are returning to us - they are there if you need them and very friendly. Thank you for...more
Our second time to the Lower Mill Estate. Lovely property on Howell’s Mere with good facilities. Hot tub, BBQ, fully equipped kitchen. Would definitely return.
Had a great stay at Windrush Lake. Everything was spotlessly clean, amazing kitchen facilities, all the utensils and even a slow cooker, blender etc. beds were comfy, and nice touch with the robes to use after the hot tub. The only thing we found a little annoying was having the temperature of the hot tub controlled by the people in the office. Had to call them twice as it was too hot then too cold. Being able to control it ourselves would’ve been easier.
A perfect setting for old school and university friends to gather. So lovely to have sunshine and a south facing deck. There's plenty to do and enough space to relax. Orion are very efficient and the owner very helpful.
Again what an amazing lodge. We have been to Isis Lakes around 10 times now and it never fails. Great location, amazing lodges, lots of chilling. We will definately be returning again in teh near future. 5 stars all round.
Really comfortable and very well equipped house. The views across the lake including the spectacular sunsets were a bonus and most memorable.
We were very pleased with the accommodation, and particularly the location and views. The house was clean and comfortable and support from the Orion staff was great.
First impressions was very good, nice position right next to the lake although lake was obstructed by the height of the bushes. The patio was very large but tired and could do with an update, and also a clean. In interior was very clean only exceptions were, cobwebs on ceilings, cleaners need to look up when cleaning the house. The state of the windows and ledges weren’t good cobwebs everywhere and window ledges looked liked they hadn’t been cleaned in years.
Had a fab weekend with friends, well equipped, very spacious, large soft bath towels only issue was just difficult to find in the dark!!
lovely clean, spacious and attractive house. The site was beautiful, well maintained, peaceful Everything we needed was there.
Fabulous property. Spotlessly clean. Previous reviews mentioned marks on walls which, there were, but this didn’t detract from our enjoyment. Property isn’t suitable for people with poor mobility due to amount of stairs but fine for others. Lovely fizz and card greeted us on arrival. Orion Holidays, can’t fault their service. The Cotswolds Water Park is a great place. There’s something for everyone
The lodge is easily located by road and on arrival there is plenty of parking. The lodge is extremely well equipped. Everything is very clean and modern. It's ideal for a family. Might be a bit of squash with more than two couples as the main bedroom is extremely spacious with a lakeside view but the other two bedrooms seem better suited to children or teenagers. There are two bathrooms. It is also quiet but with access to all kinds of facilities nearby from water sports to walking and cycling. There is an extensive range of eating places. Also nearby is the Cotswold Country Park and Be...more
We couldn't have picked a worse weekend weather wise but 68 Mill Village was lovely. The fire was very welcoming after our wet and windy walks. We cannot wait to come back in the summer/ when weather is kinder.
Good …………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..How ridiculous…………………………………………………………………..
Can’t recommend this place enough Lovely clean cottage overlooking the lake with outside decking with garden & own jetty to take your paddle boat or canoe out on. Perfect for us & our two Granddaughters & our dog . So pleased we chose this particular one as it met all our needs. Very quiet & we could park close by & lovely dog walks around the estate .Would love to come back again .
Between selling my house and being able to move into my new house I had some eight weeks where I was homeless. I was recommended to talk to Orion about renting a property for this period and they were very helpful. The house I rented was in a very quiet and peaceful part of the lakeside village and more than fulfilled my needs. The service from Orion was faultless and very supportive.
