About this cottage rental

Originally home to the horses that farmed the land, The Stables is now part of an exclusive development on the Lower Mill Estate, a stunning 450 acre private nature reserve.

Within metres of The Stables is access to the heated outdoor pool, fishing, beautiful walks (including Thames Path) cycle paths, tennis, sauna, shop, kayak and bike hire. The lovely old village pub is a ten minute stroll.

The Lower Mill Estate is located in the Cotswold Water Park. With over 140 lakes, there are plenty of activities to try such as fishing, sailing, waterskiing, kayaking and wakeboarding as well as fantastic cycling and lovely walks along the Thames Path and Thames & Severn canal.

A perfect base for exploring picturesque Cotswold villages and visiting historical towns such as Cirencester, Cheltenham, Bath and Oxford.

The Stables is a contemporary, stylish three bedroom retreat.

Downstairs there is a living room with logburner, flatscreen TV/DVD player, comfy seating for six, floor to ceiling window to the front and a stable door opening onto the orchard at the rear. There is a selection of DVDs as well and books. Across the hall is a kitchen/ diner with Shaker style cream units, butler sink, dishwasher, washing machine, fridge, freezer, microwave and toaster. There is a dining table and chairs for six.

Upstairs are three cosy bedrooms. There is a double bedroom with an ensuite bathroom, a kingsize bedroom with TV and DVD player and a twin bedroom (one of the single beds is 1.7cm/5ft 7inches in length). There is also a shower room with WC and basin. The rooms have been built into the eaves so there is restricted head height in some parts which adds to the charm of this conversion. There are Velux windows in the two double bedrooms so you can look at the stars as you lay in bed.

To the front is a pretty courtyard with a bench to take in the morning sun. At the rear in the orchard is a dining table and chairs for six, sun loungers, parasol and a BBQ. There are five different type of fruit trees and the Thames runs alongside (fenced). The orchard is particularly pretty in Spring when the trees are in blossom.

For bookings of a week or more we recommend a maximum of 4 adults

This is such a wonderful house and location for a trip away. Beautiful location with plenty to do. The house was clean, well equipped and just a great home from home.

We had a great stay at The Stables, it had a lovely cozy feel yet still felt cool during the heatwave. The property was very well equipped and the patio opened on to a gorgeous orchard full of birds. Altogether lovely.

This property is in the middle of Lower Mill. Lovely place to stay. Just a couple of thoughts - if guests are above average height they might struggle upstairs with the sloping roof - especially in the en-suite bathroom! A couple of things for the owners - the bottom half of the stable door is so tight - very difficult to open and the door to the dishwasher is also very tight. Minor things but may be worth a quick look before next guests. Otherwise a very nice few days away.

Lovely location with lots to do. We were using as a base for a local wedding. Beds and linnen lovely 10 out of 10 but not as clean as we would have liked. leaving more cleaning products would help guests to keep it looking nice. Quick response to queries and admin very smooth. Thank you
