Wonderful stay at Milly Cottage, Orion were great with the information provided before and after our stay. Would definitely recommend.
Normally go on a cruise each year with the children (17,12) but this year decided to stay in the UK. The cottage was magnificent, has everything you could possible need it a beautiful perfect location. We went the week of the heatwave so made the most of the activities all the lakes have to offer. Will definitely be back
We’ve just stayed at the Cotswolds Isis Lake resort and had a fantastic experience. Our three‑bedroom house overlooked one of the beautiful Isis lakes, and it was spotless, well maintained, and fully equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The patio was perfect for enjoying breakfast while watching the sunrise, and the location couldn’t be better — just a short walk to the lakes where the water activities take place, plus nearby restaurants, bars, and lovely walking routes. South Cerney is close by too, which made exploring the area really easy. It’s an ideal spot for fam...more
Great cottage and facilities, had a lovely stay, nice and clean and had everything we needed, parking was a little tight
Stayed here with a group of friends. Really comfortable house, great outside space, well equipped. We’ve stayed at several different properties around the Cotswold Lakes and would definitely choose to return to this one.
We had a lovely 5 day break at this fabulous property overlooking Howells mere lake. The property was high end and very comfortable throughout. The kitchen was well stocked to meet all our needs. We enjoyed it that much that we booked to return in September. Highly recommended.
First impression was the property looked a little tired to the photos on the web. The facilities were very good and it was clean and tidy. Being OAPs we found the stairs a little steep and only one hand rail where we are used to a rail both sides. So the stairs became a danger area for us. The other concern was in the bathroom. No rails to put your wet towels. So we hung them over the raidiators ? Had a good time though.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We've stayed here several times now and keep coming back, which says it all really! The house is always spotlessly clean, comfortable and well-equipped, with stunning views over the lake that we never get tired of. It's in a great location within Lower Mill Estate, making it easy to enjoy everything the estate has to offer. One of the biggest draws for us is the fantastic facilities on the estate – the pools, spa, restaurant and beautiful walks around the lakes all make for a really relaxing break. Whether you want to be active or just unwind, there's something for everyone. We absol...more
This accommodation met all our requirements and more. The view from the garden across the lake was stunning. All the rooms were decorated to a high standard, the lounge area was large enough for us all to relax together and the kitchen was fully equipped with everything we needed. The hot tub and bbq were great to use after a lovely day exploring. There are so many beautiful walks around the vicinity and Burton on the water isn't far. We just wish we could have stayed longer.
Very pleased with the accommodation and the service provided by Orion .The cottage is well equipped and comfortable. Lower Mill is a lovely location for nature lovers and dog owners.
We stayed for a long weekend, it was great having the lake right in front of the accommodation so the kids could go out in the kayaks anytime they wanted during the day and we could join them or watch from the balcony. The house is extremely well equipped, and beds were comfy. The staff on the lower mill estate were fantastic, very friendly and made everything really easy. Having the Swimming pools, restaurant and other facilities on site was a huge advantage as it felt safe to let the teenagers have fun with a little independence. Would definitely recommend.
Cannot fault this stay. Had a wonderful week in an excellent home which had all the essentials. Really appreciated multiple towels and especially robes for the hot tub. Hot tube was out of use for the first three days due to filtering issues but this was swiftly dealt with. We appreciate the responsiveness. Minor feedback- We notes that the outdoor furniture was covered in cob webs and whilst we appreciate a closeness to nature and not disturbing it, having to dust and clean is not ideal when you arrive on holiday and wish to you the furniture straight away. These are minor inconvenience...more
We had an amazing week at Spring Lake, the house has everything you could possibly need , There are lovely restaurants in walking distance and of course you can enjoy any water sport that you prefer. We will definitely be back .
We had booked two lodges and stayed with friends, everything was perfect and we all had an amazing weekend
We loved staying a Summit Lodge! It's such a brilliant house, the decor is lovely, it's well stocked, the access to the lake was super easy and we loved being able to come back in and have a dip in the hot tub too! We would come back here in a heartbeat, it was such fun!
Grandma, children and grandchildren stayed in this beautiful appointed holiday home for three nights. We wished we’d had longer The house was spacious and well equipped. Everyone enjoyed the hot tub There was a great choice of activities, we fitted in catacanoe and paddle boarding along with leisurely strolls. We hope to return next year for a little longer
A birthday trip to enjoy water-skiing, wake-boarding, rifle shooting and a lovely meal with family. Stunning location, fabulous facilities and a whole bunch of wonderful memories.
Beautiful house with lots of space and well equipped. View was lovely and outdoor areas both front and back allowed us to take full advantage of the weather. Looking forward to returning
We have just retuned from 80-81 Windrush Lake and had an enjoyable stay. The place is spacious and clean, furniture is a little tired in areas but it is a rental. Orion provided amazing service when we wanted to reduce temp of hot tub and it was checked midway through our stay. Second year i’ve used Orion and I’d use them again. Thank you.
Great location with a fantastic view over the lake. Very impressed with the property its self, very well looked after and clean! I am sure we will all be back as a family again.
Lovely property, nice location and great hot tub! We’ll be back in the future ……………………………………………………..
The lodge had everything and even more than what we expected. We felt welcomed although we didn't see any of the staff, but I can't fault anything. We will definitely book again. The view, the activities provided, the quiet, were amazing. Thank you Orion Holidays.
The charming lodge lakeside property was located overlooking Isis lake across an open grassed area. Ground floor faced south west looking through full glass windows with double French doors straight across lake. Lodge was well laid out with fully set up kitchen. Plenty of room for the 2 of us. We enjoyed walking the several lakes within the fully fenced / gated community and using the rear locked gate to walk into South Cerney for corner shops, chippy, coffee shop and several good pubs. Will certainly be visiting again.
The property was excellent, it had everything we needed and was in a beautiful location beside the lake. It was great having a secure decking area for our dog and plenty of grounds to walk around. We used the tennis courts several times and used our SUPs and kayak on Windrush lake which was an easy walk from the property with our kit. The property had everything we needed for cooking and all rooms were clean and comfortable. A great property overall.
We recently stayed at Isis lake 84 , for 9 night with the family .. we had a fabulous stay the lodge was ideal for the 7 of us . The bedrooms very clean and a perfect size . Downstairs bedroom had an en-suite , there are 3 bedrooms upstairs we one family bathroom and the master bedroom had another en-suite .. The lodge is based on a very quiet park of the complex so it’s very peaceful , it’s a 5 walk up to play park and very close to the lakes where there are plenty of water sports . As well as staying local we travelled round the Cotswolds Cirencester lido is only 25mins away , Oxfor...more
A lovely stay .. a really nice property with a view over the lake . It was comfortable, warm and in a great location .
Wonderful accommodation equipped with all the comforts we could wish for. Large and bright spaces, quality furniture, comfortable beds and an enchanting veranda overlooking the lake. We will definitely be back!
Lovely lakeside home on Spring lake. Very well equipped and had every mod con you could wish for. The master bedroom was excellent with a lovely view of the lake and watersports on it. Bedrooms 2 & 3 a little less spacious storage wise. We ould certainly consider a return visit and have recommended to friends. Communication from Orion was excellent from start to finish.
Rustig en mooi, een goeie locatie om van daaruit de hele Cotswolds-regio te bezoeken. Goed ingerichte chalet, heel proper en gezellig !
Third stay in this very comfortable and well-appointed lodge. High quality fittings. Peaceful and enjoyable as ever!
A beautiful location over looking a lake, well equipped and plenty of space for eight of us. We spent our time on the decking barbecue, paddle boarding which we hired for the day. My only cry was the beds are too hard very uncomfortable to sleep in but otherwise we had an amazing stay
Nice house , very clean and immaculate. Lots to do for children and ideal for two small families . Orion holidays did us proud !
Our group of friends had the best time here! Big communal spaces, BBQ, incredible hot tub with views across the lake and the perfect location for getting to other activities. We'll be staying again.
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
Lovely little place, we used for 2 week stay for work that was near by. Got all amenities and cleaner came in once a week to change bedding and give a clean etc. Loved staying here and would stay again.
Wow, we had a fantastic 6 night stay in a luxury lodge, with an amazing view. We’ll certainly be back
This was our 5th visit to the Cotswold Lakes and our fourth to Windrush/Isis. We love fronting on to Windrush where we can keep an eye on our 12 year old grandsons while they paddle away on their paddle boards. No 65 has a very suny aspect and catches the sun until the evening, which is great for lounging about on the patio overlooking the lake. We all love the hot tub as well. There is also lots to do locally. We always go to the beach one day. The boys go waterskiing and we enjoy the Cotswold sculpture park and all the lovely restaurants.
Lovely break ''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
Lots of cobwebs inside under worktop. Had an issue with WIFI my husband lost half a days work. Also hot tub had dirt in it. Reported this on the Sunday, no one came until the Wednesday so couldn’t use it. He added more chemicals which burnt our eyes and irritated of skin.
The accommodation overlooks the lake and provided the perfect setting for a family get together to celebrate a special occasion. The kitchen is very well stocked and had everything we needed. The lounge/dining area has plenty of seating, and the deck area is enclosed, providing a secure outdoor space for our toddler and dogs. For a group of 6 adults, a toddler, a baby and two dogs, we never felt that there wasn’t enough room for all of us. Everywhere was spotlessly clean and tidy, but the smell of damp/drains in the en-suite when we arrived was not pleasant. We had beautiful weather during...more
We stayed here for a birthday celebration, fantastic home and facilities everything we needed. Wonderful spot - excellent service from Orion holidays form booking to check out. Fantastic communication and fantastic time away - we will be back. Thank you
Apartment was lovely, but felt it was a bit tired. Doors to decking from the bedroom were swollen at the bottom which made them difficult to shut. Drain smell in the shower. Info description stated there was a club house. Pub and restaurant, did not realise it was Ballyhoo all in one.
We had previously stayed in the house next door, plus twice more in a different house. So we’re obviously fans of the estate and facilities. 47 was perfect for us, 4 Adults and 2 x 6 year olds. Plenty of space, especially important to have enough bathrooms, as we were two families sharing. Lots of kitchen equipment, big table, comfy sofa. Lots of fun things including the pumpkin trail, swimming, soft play, playground for the kids. Highly recommend, we will definitely return again
Excellent accommodation for our family stay. We hrld a party night in venue 80/81 which accommodated everyone. It was a great evening.
We booked Spring Lake 43, Jesse-Belle for 3 days over Easter weekend. The property was presented to a high standard and had everything we needed - including the comfiest pillows ever! The view over the lake was absolutely stunning - a real highlight. Within the property there was plenty of space for 6 adult's and we never felt cramped. The location itself was fab. The onsite restaurant was only a stones throw away, but it was also only a short walk from a lovely cafe/walking route which was great! Tesco was 11 minutes away which was perfect for getting those essentials. We drove into Cirencest...more
This is our 2nd stay at the Cotswold Water Park, very dog friendly and plenty of scope to keep yourself active. Our week was very quiet at the park which I didn't expect involving a Bank Holiday but turned out to be a bonus at Restaurants, Cafe and Activities around the park with no waiting or bookings. Weather was brilliant so we got out every day. Highly recommend a stay as the surroundings of the lodge in the grounds, is a calm and peaceful atmosphere just what's needed for a short break away. Fun when you want it, tranquil at your accommodation.
We have holidayed at this property for the last 3 years which in its self is an excellent recommendation. The house has always been well maintained with everything provided that you would want. Needless to say we will seriously consider making it number 4 next year!
We had a great weekend at 26 Howells mere. The accommodation was lovely, we particularly liked the large living area on the middle floor. The kitchen was very well equipped.The location is great for walking and running. The on site pool was very clean and great for all the family. The riffle shooting locally I would also recommend.
We had no idea the Cotswold Lakes existed until recently and we're so glad to have found them and this lovely property! We're a family of 3, plus our lovely dog, and this spot was ideal for a week away to relax together in the summer. The view from the house is a stunner, overlooking the lagoon with wildlife, stunning sunsets and unbeatable access to the water. Spent so much time relaxing with a book and admiring the view. The house itself is very well appointed and comfortable. Ideal for adults, children and pets alike. It had everything we needed. Also loved the welcome kit for our d...more
We zochten een fijne, rustige plek in de natuur in de Cotswolds. Het park en het huis voldeden daar helemaal aan. Het huis bood voldoende luxe met een terras dat direct zicht had op het meer. We zijn er elke dag op uit gegaan om allerlei activiteiten in de omgeving te doen en zaten daarvoor centraal.
We stayed at the landings with our family including new baby granddaughter to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary. We had the best time. The accommodation was lovely the paint is a little bit tired and scruffy in places but it didn’t detract from the spacious comfortable house. Bedrooms were lovely my only niggle is the mattresses weren’t comfy they were a bit lumpy but the bedding etc was very nice. We used the lakeside brasserie for food and drinks cocktails are particularly nice there. My husband and son in law gave the water skiing a go which they enjoyed. We visited diddly squat farm...more
It was the best place to be during a British heatwave. The 3 generation family thoroughly enjoyed their holiday week, with paddle boarding & swimming pool dipping every day. The leafy walks and cycle tracks were great & enabled us all to enjoy exercise at our own pace. The cottage was pleasingly clean & the kitchen very well equipped ( although a non-stick milk pan would have been useful). As a family we plan to return to Cotswold Water Park in 2027.
We had a lovely stay at the lodge on Spring Lake in the Cotswolds. The hosts were incredibly accommodating, letting us check in early and leave late — which we really appreciated. The lodge was spotlessly clean and had everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing break. Had a good meal at the onset bar and also walked to village and would recommend the pubs
Lovely place, highly recommend. Will definitely be returning in the summer time with the whole family
A beautiful, spacious , well equipped lodge in a lovely, tranquil location with stunning view of the lake. We all enjoyed watching the swans and moorhens nurturing their young , only a few meters away. Hired paddle boards and had a great time All enjoyed our time there ( including the dog).
Cottage was exactly how it was advertised and was great for our family (including one dog) for a long weekend. It was very well appointed and exceptionally clean. We had one very minor issue whilst staying (portable room fan not working - it was the hottest weekend of the year so far!) and contacted Orion Holidays who demonstrated exceptional customer service by responding and remedying within a couple hours. The only negative for the estate is the lack of parking - each property generally has one allocated parking space, any family with an additional car had to park in another area whi...more
The property was in need of some TLC. There were no curtains in the main living area, which made it very difficult when it was sunny, there was no way to keep the room cool and you could not watch TV. The flooring by the folding doors is lifting, which could cause an issue soon. The bed in the main bedroom was not very comfortable, the mattress sunk below the edge of the bed when you sat on it. There was no first aid box, as described in the book in the accommodation. There appeared to be a lack of instruction manuals, so it was difficult to use the equipment, it was all a bit of guess work...more
