I’ve just returned from another delightful break at Mill Village with my big kids and grandchildren. We drive from Brighton every year!) Damsel Cottage has everything we need regardless of age. I never tire of the beautiful lakeside views and walks, whilst the youngsters love the heated swimming pool, cycling and taking the kayaks out. It’s completely safe for them both cycling around the estate and there are lots of pretty Cotswolds towns and other venues to visit nearby. We also very much appreciated the large new walk-in shower. My happy place….and so many great memories.

We had a lovely time at Damsel Cottage for a short break. The house is a bit tired round the edges and upstairs bathrooms with showers would be better . Beds were a but hard but appreciate this is a personal preference that is difficult to cater for. The lounge/kitchen has everything you need. It’s a great location , the whole area is beautiful and we thoroughly enjoyed our holiday!

Stayed over the Xmas Period, and the house had everything we needed and more to enjoy our time. We will be booking for next Xmas as such a lovely place.

We stayed at mill village for 10 nights, 2 families sharing the cottage. Orion holidays were in touch leading up to our holiday with good communication about the day of arrival and codes for door entry, etc. they also had a great app about the area, restaurants, places to visit. The property was very clean, and mid stay we were offered a complete change of bedding and towels too. A door handle came off the dishwasher and they sorted it the day we were in touch. The customer service was excellent! There was plenty for teenage boys to do, fishing, paddleboarding, canoeing, wakeboarding, aquaventure park was nearby. There was an outdoor pool, tennis, table tennis on site, also a bar/restaurant. All in all, plenty to do and a great time on holiday.
