About this cottage rental
Considering booking a stay at Cornerstone Cottage? Please do contact us with any questions.
Our house is a cosy, yet spacious, family-owned contemporary cottage on the private Lower Mill Estate nature reserve in the Cotswolds Water Park.
Tranquil location in secluded water garden away from the busiest parts of Lower Mill Estate, and yet only a short walk from the exclusive spa (included for all our rental guests) & other facilities. Miles of beautiful walks from the front door and a big selection of local sporting, sightseeing and relaxing activities. A favourite is the 15 minute walk to our local pub, The Bakers Arms.
We have owned our holiday home since 2003, specifying the house to be our own rural ‘home away from home’. Now we are delighted to invite you to share the experience and make your own memories.
Many guests have come back again & again, often booking long in advance.
Large sofas to relax by the log fire in winter, or to watch TV. Well-equipped kitchen, and dining area. Games and books for children. Wifi internet.
Large sundeck overlooking peaceful reeded pond, with sun from early morning til evening.
650 acre onsite nature reserve, wildlife abounding (extensive bird life, plants, wild animals, you may catch sight of a heron, an otter or even a beaver).
The £6m ArtSpa (approx. 500m walk) has indoor/outdoor pools, sauna, steam room and treatment rooms. Artspa also offers a wide range of spa treatments using 100% natural plant-extract Pevonia products.
There are also playground areas, trampolines, football area, table-tennis & tennis courts.
Ballihoo restaurant is approx. 500m from our holiday, open most of the year. Small shop & café open peak hours, approx 100m walk - good range of grocery items, good coffee & tea, patisserie and light lunches. As well as selling tasty home-made frozen meals the shop can arrange a chef to come to the house.

Came here for the weekend with friends and really enjoyed it. The cottage was clean and tidy, had everything we needed. The owners were so informative, friendly and happy to help with anything. Would definitely recommend and return

We were a group of 7 staying (4 adults, 3 children) for 3 nights. The cottage had everything we could need. There are 2 bedrooms perfectly set up for kids with the other 2 for adults. The bathrooms were decent and the kitchen had everything you could possibly need and more, although some cupboard space to store our food would have been nice.The outdoor dining space was very peaceful and pretty although a little overlooked.
The estate is beautiful and the cottage is very close to the activity hub, spa, pool, tennis courts, playgrounds and restaurant. Table tennis and tennis equipment hire was very cheap but be quick to book the tennis courts as by the time we went to book they were fully booked for the week!
A couple of pointers for others staying on the estate:
- The spa is wonderful! Two of us went for a head massage which was reasonably priced and very relaxing - highly recommend!
- The pool is fantastic. It was the highlight of the trip for our kids.
- The restaurant / bar has good quality food & drinks but we found the service to be painfully slow. We went for lunch when we arrived, there were only 2 other tables eating and we waited over half an hour for each course. Make sure you book if you want to have dinner there. We’d recommend The Bakers Arms pub, a 15 min walk away. Great food, great service and there’s a pizza oven in the garden.
- We found that the on site shop was severely lacking in basics so make sure to bring everything with you!

My family of 4 adults stayed here. It did not disappoint! Tim & Victoria are perfect hosts and the communication is great. They provide a lot of useful info to plan and stay at their home.. even have an app & book. Although they tried very hard to explain where to park to drop off our things, we failed...but it's ok. Once you found the home, it was easy after that. They left many goodies to enjoy. Thank you! Their kitchen is well-stocked and has a Nespresso machine with a milk frother. I loved the frother so much I just bought one for our home. They provided many coffee capsules to start you off. I haven't used a Nespresso machine before but after googling it I was on my way! The electrical outlets have on/off switches so if the appliance isn't working check to make sure the switch is on. The wifi was great. There are only clipper outlets in the bathroom so I used the outlet in the bunkbed room in front of the mirror for drying & curling my hair. We used the dishwasher, washer/dryer with no problems (Soap goes in the double bar section of washer). We ate at the Ballihoo restaurant our first night..yummy. They have a small store there to pick up food supplies. Had a massage & facial at the spa..so relaxing. Enjoyed the Half Day Rally Experience @ Cotswold Driving Experiences..so fun! 10-course dinner with Dine Indulge at their home..worth it! We rented an electric car, charging station only a few min away and FREE. It is so beautiful there..highly recommmend!
