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!
What can I say.. Absolutely beautiful, both the location and the cottage! The owners has thought of absolutely everything! Spotlessly clean, can not fault anything, you can make your visit as relaxing or busy as you like, Lower Mill Estate is tranquil.. Perfect to unwind, everyone is so respectful of the precious nature and surroundings and of one another! Already booked return visit for 2024(while in the car travelling home!) We loved it, my family had a job dragging me away when it was time to go! Couldn't recommend highly enough
This was our second visit to Sun Kissed Lodge and yet again it was absolutely brilliant. It was spotlessly clean and provided everything you would need for a relaxing holiday. We were again blessed with great sunny weather and having a south facing patio and hot tub we certainly made the most of it. We were extremely grateful of the fan that was dropped off due to the unusually high temperatures we had for the first couple of days. The Lodge is a great central location for so many places to visit and eat. Once again thanks to all at Orion holidays for making our holiday extra special and w...more
What a find! We had an amazing 3 days at the Waters Edge Cotswold Park. The house was very clean and well equipped. The location was fantastic and within walking distance of paddle boarding, kayaking. Wakeboarding, lovely bars. We will definitely go back.
Property was spacious and comfortable, well appointed with quality furnishings. An onside supermarket would have been handy for daily essentials
The booking experience provided by Orion Holiday was truly exceptional. They gave me some great advice about the properties available, helping make the right decision for our first visit, to the Lower Mill Estate. The clear and concise correspondence from Orion, made arrival and check in, really easy. The information pack provided, answered all the questions about the house, the estate and the facilities. The cottage was just perfect. Loads of character, with a contemporary touch. The kitchen had everything you needed, the living room was spacious, a dining area which could easily seat 8 a...more
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.
Amazing view clean and nice apartment near lakes with animal's the best stay I have ever had thanks!!!
What a stunning place to stay. It was incredibly clean, it had every single thing you could think of that most holiday homes don’t have e.g washing up liquid, cork screw, dish washer tablets. We had such a good time here and highly recommend if someone wants a bit of luxury and so close to some beautiful places to visit. The rooftop hottub was the actual winner here and the view of the lakes. Take me back!!!
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
Great service from the owner, who was around on site; immaculate property; great watercraft rentals. The deck / BBQ / jetty were all highlights, and the lake itself was great to explore. A super family trip; many thanks.
Excellent large property overlooking the lake. All very clean and comfortable with a lovely hot tub.
Beautiful views in a fantastic complex, the apartment is really well equipped and very comfortable. Orion holidays were super responsive and professional and easy to deal with.
We had a lovely stay at Clearwater 86, fabulous place and great location with easy access to swimming, restaurant etc. The hot tub was fabulous and getting around was easy. Only slightly dampened by the odd sofa in the lounge which wasn't that comfortable with 6 of us there. We would definitely come back and take part in lots of other activities, maybe in the summer but October was just as fun in the outdoor swimming pool.
Only complaint, we arrived in the dark on a busy Friday night, the signs to properties not very good, we got lost a few times finding our property.
For the second year running we arranged our family get together at Windrush 80 & 82. The house was big enough for my wife and I along with our three children and grandchildren. Pleased to see that the quality of the house had not deteriorated and will look forward to going again next year.
Our second holiday in Windrush 62. Absolutely spotless. A very comfortable home and we are sure we'll be back again.
Our recent family getaway at Meadowlark was an absolute gem. This picturesque retreat exceeded our expectations in every way. The lakehouse itself was not only beautifully designed,, but also in pristine condition and incredibly well-equipped - offering absolutely everything a family could possibly need. It was great to have someone on call 24/7 if we needed anything. What truly stood out, though, was the serene and peaceful setting. It was so lovely to wake up to the lake view! During the day there was a whole host of walking trails to choose from - there's also a tennis court on site, so ...more
The house was exactly like the photos, very clean and very spacious. Everything you could possible want was provided and the area the house is in was very quiet. We had the use of the Spa which was great and we were very lucky to find the two pools were empty most of the time. If you want any treatments at the Spa it’s best to book before you go as they are very busy. We had a meal at the Ballyhoo Restaurant and it was lovely and reasonably priced again it’s best to book before you go. This house is perfect for families or large groups and we enjoyed our time there so much we will be retu...more
Another fabulous stay at Water’s Edge! A fabulous location that is quiet and scenic. We loved the new arrangement of furniture- much cosier and easier to chat around the new fire. The new lighting on the deck is much better and safer too. The lodge is really well equipped with everything you could need- having towels and robes is really helpful. The fact that the beds can all be made into twins or doubles makes it more flexible and one of the reasons we choose to stay here. The team at Orion are always very helpful and communication is good.
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've stayed in two properties now and this one is by far the better of the two. Spacious, well equipped and clean (apart from light fitting areas). Only downside, very creaky flooring and squeaky door handles.
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.
A fabulous secure location with wonderful properties. Holidaying here caters for all from total chill out to hectic activity all wrapped up in nature.
A beautiful, well maintained site and the particular lodge we have stayed in many times before over the years and have always enjoyed it just as much each time.
Our 2nd stay at this very comfortable lodge There were a couple of maintenance issues to which Orion responded very quickly.wirh temporary fixes.
We had a lovely time here, used it as a base for bike rides up to Cirencester, down to Cricklade along the Old Railway path and along the Thames Path with two children. Very convenient location and nice lodge to stay in.
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
The house was in a good location overlooking the lake. It was also well located for being able to get out and about exploring the area. London is only just over an hour away by train from Kemble train station and parking at the station was vey good. Our dog enjoyed the walks around Windrush and Isis lakes. The customer service was very good and and issues were dealt with promptly and efficiently. Hope to return.
The lodge that we stayed in was beautiful. The rooms were spacious and the living area was huge. The kitchen had all utensils and amenities. The location is superb, and looks straight out over the lake. The only negatives really were that the TV didn't work, so we had to ping our YouTube etc from our phones to the TV, and the outdoor BBQ was a little slow to cook but it cooked everything through which is the main thing. Overall, the lodge is lovely and would definitely return with friends 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.
We stayed at The Ferns for four nights ( my third stay!) and didn't want to leave! It's a happy house, with lots of space and light and is beautiful both inside and out.
Excellent location for a family get away. Plenty of room for 7 adults and baby. Very peaceful and well equipped.
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
I cannot fault the accommodation apart from a few key issues which were reported. The bedrooms were amazing and the view was very impressive. We didn’t use the balcony because of the weather but I bet it would be great in the summer. The kitchen had everything we needed apart from a decent bottle opener. (It may have been hidden away somewhere) The location was great although there was no real access to the lakes. You could go for walks around the site admiring every bodies bedrooms but you couldn’t actually walk round a lake. It was like walking through a village rather than the country s...more
Excellent family house but the best thing is the view and the stillness that comes with it. It is well equipped, very comfortable and close to spa and swimming pool. Stairs not easy for those with mobility issues though.
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.
Had a lovely stay at Waters Edge, great location, everything close by. Enjoyed being able to walk to other lakes for kayaking and great meals at The Lakeside Brasserie and The Gateway. Accommodation was outstanding just wish we had better weather! However it didn't stop us using the jacuzzi in the rain, just had to wear a hat !! Would love to return.
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
Large comfortable lodge in well kept surroundings with plenty of amenities. Loved the tennis courts adjacent and lakes with friendly ducks and swans. Nice walk to cafes and restaurants and easy access to Cirencester, Swindon etc Let down by lack of on-tap hot water(tank-fed) and small finishing touches required.
My family and I stayed at Casa Angela and we had such an amazing time. The property is very well stocked and have thought of everything. The views are beautiful and the surrounding areas are kept very tidy and clean.
Excellent stay with many families around for a special occasion. The area is beautiful and looking forward to coming back to actually enjoy the surroundings
On first entering the Landings area we were very impressed with layout and upkeep of holiday homes. Kevin was checking the property as we arrived and showed us around ground floor of the property. The view over the Lake was beautiful. We were a party of 10 (6 adults and 4 children, ages 15, 14, 12 and 11 ). We were a little disappointed in the sleeping arrangements as we thought the access to the ‘loft’ bedroom was rather dangerous with a vertical ladder up to the room and no apparent easy egress in case of a fire. We were fortunate as we had the main bedroom overlooking the lake, which ...more
We managed to pick the 4 rainiest days of the year, but still felt it was a delightful escape. So many things for the kids to do, especially the pool, great walks for the dog, a charming spa for the wife, and welcoming a restaurant to escape the rain and get a great feed. The house was really clean well proportioned, and well furnished with a great feel of light and space looking out over the balconies to the lake below. I cant think of anything that was missing. 100% we will be returning to this!!!
Great house for family gathering. Ideal layout with living space on middle floor. Lake- front patio with lovely large hot tub. Well supplied with crockery, pans etc.
A perfect 3 day break at Howells Mere 47, Robin Lodge. Beautiful house which was fully equipped and very comfortable. Everything was of high quality and ample space for 8 of us. Spa treatment was amazing and we made full use of the pools. Was excellent having free passes! Would definitely recommend and hope to return.
Had everything we needed and wanted. Very relaxing and lots to keep kids entertained. Beautiful surroundings.
Another wonderful few days at the Cotswold Water Park in 66 Damsel Cottage. Thank you so much for having us we had a lovely time.
We had a great time using the kayaks on the lakes and the shared jetty made storing the boats a lot easier. The veranada has lovely views over the lake. Lots of foopaths in the surrounding area made for some nice walks. The kitchen is well stocked with all kinds of equipment you might need. A couple people were suprised at how fast the wifi was. Everyone had a lovely weekend.
Nice location within Cotswolds Water Park. Property was small but doable. View of the lake from the deck was great. We had a great time.
We had a really wonderful stay. We were two families and were a bit worried that it was going to feel small for us but it was actually a really good size. The terrace is amazing and we’d love to come back in the summer to fully enjoy it. We found lots of lovely things to do nearby and it was great not having to take the car everywhere.
What a brilliant place to stay to visit the Cotswolds. Conveniently located only an hour and half drive from london it is the perfect base to venture out to all the famous villages and towns. The idyllic villages of Ashton Keynes and Somerford Keynes are a short drive or walk away with great pubs to have a pint at once you arrive. The house itself is situated on a lake with gorgeous views and fantastic wildlife. All the plants and surrounding nature makes you feel like you have your own private reserve to yourself. There’s also great walks and a nature trail around the development. We had ...more
