To preserve the tranquility on the estate Lower Mill Estate has a Code of Conduct that all guests must sign prior to their stay. Please contact me if you wish tho see this.

IMPORTANT NOTE ON THE AUTOMATED HOMEAWAY/VRBO PRICE QUOTES:
The prices generated and quoted from this site should be roughly correct for 3 night weekend, 4 night midweek or 7 night weekly breaks. Because of the sites technical limitations, prices for other durations/periods are often not accurate. So please double check . The price quoted on the site includes the Homeaway service fee which is around 13% of the rental price.
The system does throw up some strange anomalies mainly to do with my settings so if price seems too high or low please check!

Great Spot for a Family Get Together
Well maintained & lots of shared spaces - large decks on each floor. The kitchen had everything we needed plus a starter pack to welcome us. Facilities at Lower Mill were great for our 3 & 6 year old grandsons & the house had a good stock of toys & games. There were a great many activities for older children too so we’ll have to come back.

Great house on a fantastic estate
This was our 3rd time to lower mill. This house was in a lovely location, very well equipped. The beds were very comfortable and bedding great quality. Everything we could need was provided in the kitchen. There was even some toys for the children, they had great fun building the train set. The estate is beautiful we had some lovely walks, the swimming pool is one of the best we have been to in the UK and it’s really easy to hire a boat.

Fantastic break
We had an amazing time at Sarah's property. It is in a stunning location and the photos didn't do it justice! The house is much bigger than we expected. It had everything we needed, from the welcome pack to kids toys. We felt like we were on a luxury holiday with all the facilities on site too. The spa is stunning, lots for the kids to do and to entertain the adults too. We had a slight issue with a travel cot when we arrived and the property manager was with us in 15 minutes to resolve it. Couldn't be more impressed with the service and property, from start to finish. We would love to return and would recommend it to anyone wishing to enjoy the Cotswolds. Thanks again Sarah for a wonderful stay

About the host

Hi! I'm Sarah. I bought Celandine with my husband eight years ago and we have had many fun holidays here. Our son is now 10 years old and enjoys playing tennis on the estate’s tennis courts, swimming, cycling and and trying the water sport activities available locally.

Why they chose this property

We have an ten year old son, and living close to London we wanted somewhere that we could escape to for weekends and holidays within a two hour drive. My husband works in London and Kemble station is a very easy commute from Paddington. The Cotswolds has so many interesting places to explore, and when looking for possible houses we stumbled across Lower Mill, we felt this would be the perfect place for our son as he grows up. He already loves the pool and the tennis courts and we are looking forward to being able to take him sailing and canoeing in the years to come. It's a great area for cycling - there are many cycle paths in the area, but children seem equally happy simply pedalling or scooting around the estate.

What makes this property unique

Our house is one of the properties on the development with a skydeck - a completely enclosed 360 degree rooftop terrace. It's lovely being able to relax in the sun at any time of day in complete privacy. The log-burning stove in the main living area gives the home has a cosy feel in Winter. We also have a separate snug room, so there's always space to escape to for a quiet read. The Spa is a wonderful place to relax all year round, and has great treatments on offer. We find it is a perfect central point for friend and family gatherings as it is close to the motorway networks of the M4 and M5 giving easy access from both the north and south of the country. Guests have enjoyed the many local gourmet pubs, the Cotswold Wildlife Park, Adam Henson's Cotswold Farm Park and exploring the beautiful Cotswold villages. Legoland is within striking distance. The local town of Cirencester is lovely and has many cafes and independent shops.
