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
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!
We stayed here for a weekend in June 24. It’s one of the nicest I’ve stayed in, all of the furniture and fittings were in lovely order, it was cosy and comfortable. We were missing a couple of towels which they sent round with little delay. They gave us early check in and a late check out as they had availability without us asking which was a nice touch.
Very nice accommodation run by a very organised company. Would highly recommend and will be going back soon for a summer break.
We enjoyed a super relaxing weekend-wonderful house, with beautiful views and great family friendly atmosphere! Looking forward to coming again!
Excellent stay. The kids loved it! Plenty to do. Only downside is that the local restaurants /coffeehouses are a little pricey and either the portion size or quality is lacking. Cirencester is only 10/15 minute drive and offers great inexpensive options. Easy parking too.
We visited for a family birthday. There were 5 adults and 2 children and there was plenty of room. Everything was great. The location on site was perfect, the layout was great. Lots of little extras such as tennis equipment were a nice touch. Hot tub was great too, was checked daily while we were there. Would definitely recommend
Had the most amazing stay for my sisters 30th we were wowed with how lovely the house was! Thankyou so much everything was perfect
Amazing view clean and nice apartment near lakes with animal's the best stay I have ever had thanks!!!
We had a lovely week at the Landings 19, everything needed in a home from home was provided. It was a family get together and the accommodation was spacious. Kev, the owner, made himself available and gave some good recommendations on local pubs and places to visit. This was our second stay at the Water Park and we will definitely return again.
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
We had an absolutely wonderful stay here. A very spacious, clan and comfortable house with absolutely everything we needed and more. We will definitely return in the future.
88 Howells Mere is a lovely apartment, with plenty of space and a beautiful deck overlooking the lake. The location is spot on, just a short walk up to Balihoo and the Spa. It has everything you need, with comfy beds and a spacious lounge to relax in. Highly recommended!
We enjoyed our stay at Lakeside 19. The location is excellent looking out onto the lake, and is also very peaceful. The property was well maintained and we found it very comfortable. The Restaurant on the lake was very good. Thank you.
The house was well presented and comfortable. The unimpeded view over the lake, complete with resident heron and other wildlife added to the charm of the location.
Would certainly use Orion again. Web site easy to use. Staff friendly & efficient. Lodge beautiful & comfortable. We had a great time thanks
We had a lovely stay on Summer Lake. The house was beautiful and so very well equipped. We had every we needed. To deal with such a wonderful holiday company was the icing on the cake. The Orion team of people are professional, so accommodating and friendly. Lovely lovely people. Thank you.
My wife and I took our adult daughter away for a relxing holiday and we weren't dissapointed. The house was delightful, bright and airy and very comfortable in every respect. The house was very well equiped, plenty of storage and comfortable beds and the outside deck beside the lake was a real bonus. We enjoyed watching the water skiers and wild life and the facilities around the other lakes were very good too. We particularily enjoyed a very good Sunday Lunch at the De Vere Boathouse Restaurant and the Waterside Cafe was a great coffee stop, excellent cinnamon buns ! The local area provided ...more
Our second holiday in Windrush 62. Absolutely spotless. A very comfortable home and we are sure we'll be back again.
Very modern, well equipped, comfortable home away from home in great location. Would highly recommend and would stay here 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.
This was a family gathering of eight for a special birthday. The location was perfect on a beautiful lake with plenty of wildlife to enjoy and a cuckoo calling in the background. The accommodation worked perfectly and had everything we needed for our stay including games, boules and tennis racquets. There were plenty of local activities and a good choice of places to eat and a large Tesco was only a short drive away. We are already planning our next visit.
Booking procedures and accommodation was excellent. The property was very well maintained and an excellent layout for a large family of 6 to 8 people. Very quiet and relaxing, although this was out of season but felt we had the whole area to .ourselves. Lovely walk out around the lake to nearby facilities and although we didn’t use all of them there was enough there for plenty of choice. Sadly, we did book a fishing weekend, but not too sure how well stocked the ponds are as our party of fishermen had no bites all over the weekend, but perhaps that’s just their fishing techniques rather t...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.
A fabulous secure location with wonderful properties. Holidaying here caters for all from total chill out to hectic activity all wrapped up in nature.
Spacious house in tranquil location with lovely view over lake. The property has a well equipped kitchen and good amount of basic supplies such as tea, coffee, etc. Bath robes were supplied which is ideal after using the hot tub. The property is in an ideal location for exploring the local area with restaurants and leisure amenities within easy reach.
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 stay in Windrush 87, the property was very clean, very well equipped and had lovely Lake views. We will definitely be back!
Relaxing break which was needed by all. Great location and the property had everything we needed. :)
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.
Everything from start to finish was brilliant. The customer service from the team at Orion holidays was amazing, really helpful and happy to answer any questions I had. I was planning this stay for my dad’s 70th birthday so I wanted to make sure everything was perfect, and it really was! The house we stayed in was absolutely stunning, gorgeous views over the lake and it was spotlessly clean! We had the best time and would 100% stay again, can’t recommend enough! Thank you!
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.
All good. Nothing to add All dealt with in questions. Questionnaire is a little over the top.. My views have already ben stated
We had an extremely relaxing week on the Lower Mill Estate despite the changeable weather. The lodge was an ideal base for walking through the nature reserve, cycling and swimming. It was very clean and comfortable and had stunning views across the lake. All of the information we recieved from Orion Holidays was clear and useful. We will definitely book with them again.
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.
Beautifully appointed apartment in a good location to explore the area. We had a lovely stay and everything you could possibly need was where you would expect to find it!!
We stayed at this gorgeous house for a family weekend to celebrate my mums 75th birthday. We had family aged from 18 months to 80 and the house was perfect. The owners have such style and everything so well thought through. We all enjoyed the hot tub and eating dinner on the upstairs decking. Beds were lovely and the master bed rooms were gorgeous. Orion holidays were organised and friendly when we called them. We will definitely be back and use them again .
Lovely setting. House was very spacious for 5 adults and 2children. Well stocked for everyday needs. Central to a lot of amenities in the Cotswolds.
We had a lovely weekend staying in a comfortable, well appointed house. The surrounding lakes and walks were beautiful. The only negative we had was better signage was needed for the properties, ie HOWELLS MERE NOS 1-40 for example. It was a little difficult finding our rental even using the map provided. This DID NOT spoil our holiday though.
Fantastic accommodation, great surroundings, ideal location for exploring the cotswolds & doing water sports on the surrounding lakes. We really enjoyed the outdoor pool & tennis courts. The staff were really helpful every step of the way leading up to & during our stay. They even let us check in 3hrs early. I would definitely recommend.
Booked the property for a family Christmas and whilst some aspects were a little tired the property did not disappoint. Plenty of space for everyone to be comfortable and the hot tub proved to be a big hit, especially on Christmas day. We all agreed we would definitely return!
This is the 3rd time staying in this house and we do love it . However, it’s a bit tired round the edges now despite new doors and windows at the back . It needs new bathrooms and flooring in the bathrooms , personally I think a walk in shower instead of the bath in the en suite would be better . Having said that , the beds are comfy , and the lounge/kitchen has everything you need. It’s a great location , the whole area is beautiful and we thoroughly enjoyed our holiday once again !
Perfect for our family needs. Plenty of space and dog friendly. Access to gym and swimming pool a bonus.
Overall, we had a lovely Easter Break. The lake view was very relaxing and location was good as we drove to visit Cotswolds villages. There are plenty of parking within the area so would recommend to big family/group. The property is well maintained and staffs are very accommodating and tennis court are extra bonus. However, we were not able to book for kayaks and fishing so will definitely do it in advance in our next stay.
Lots to do in the surrounding area, with a lot of rentable equipment that can be used on the lake. The cottage is incredibly clean and comfortable. Kitchen is remarkably well stocked. Will definetly be back in the future.
My family and I had a wonderful stay on Spring Lake. The Lake views, Site Facilities and Location was perfect! I will be recommending to my friends and hope to be back very soon.
Had a wonderful stay at Mill Village 70, Horse Shoe. The view was the best thing, changing all the time with beautiful an sunrises and sunsets and lots of different birdlife to watch. The cottage was warm and comfortable despite the weather doing its winter worst for much of the time. Well equipped kitchen, fast Wifi, comfortable bed. Everything I needed to make my stay a complete pleasure.
Great location, house position on lake was excellent. House well equipped with everything we needed for a family break, kitchen well stocked, bedding & towels very good. Negatives, soft furnishings very tired, cushions! carpets! Out door furniture seats & cushions need replacing, stained & damp. Complex was very nice, outdoor heated pool brilliant, dinner at Balihoo. Lots for the children 9,12 years old. We all enjoyed a lovely break.
The accommodation is well located, right next to the lake. It has all of the mod cons, two fridge, dishwasher and a washing machine. The interior is a little tired and could do with some updating and if there are more than six people, it is a bit of a squeeze trying to fit on the two sofa in the lounge.
Lovely break, property was good with enough to please two young children. We had a great time but I do feel it was expensive for just a two night stay outside of school holidays. It suited us because of proximity to our home and the outdoor pool but I think it was expensive for just two nights
