The estate is fully managed and secure. It includes 7 lakes and the River Thames, the rear deck to the cottage directly overlooks the river itself and beyond, the garden runs down to the banks of Mill Lake. In 2011 Lower Mill Estate won the prestigious award for 'UK's BEST DEVELOPEMENT'.

Wildlife and birdlife: The estate is very proud of its untouched areas of some significance when it comes to bird and wildlife.
Late in 2005 the first European Beavers introduced back into England were released and are hoped to thrive in a far corner of the estate.
There are viewing hides so they can be watched.

Lovely comfortable stay. We would come back. Good comms.
8 / 10Excellent·Jan 2025
We stayed in this cottage over NYE and loved it, the cottage was big enough for four adults and two young children with no issues and its well located within the Estate. It is fairly well equipped with everything you would need for a short stay, but if you require anything specialist, I would bring it with you. (the knives could do with a sharpen too) We were made aware that the kayaks are broken before we arrived, but didn't have any plans to use them so that wasn't an issue. Overall we really liked the cottage, however it is getting a little tired and would benefit from modernisation. Please note the single bed mattress is awful, fine for a 3 year old but not great for an adult, it seems to have collapsed. The Estate itself is really nice with a good restaurant and facilities, the local area is lovely with a few good pubs close by. Cirencester is the closest big town for everything else.

We had a great stay here for a family wedding. We enjoyed walking throughout the estate each morning and although we didn't take advantage of any of the water activities, we saw many people who were doing so. The cottage is fully equipped and it was great to be able to do laundry midway through our longer trip. Communication with the host went smoothly and we had no problem checking in. Would highly recommend!
6 / 10Average·Jul 2024
The house itself was nice and suited us internally. We were however, extremely disappointed with the appalling state of the small patio area, rendering it completely unusable. Particularly so, because the weather was so nice during our stay. The hedges were so overgrown that the brambles overhung the very poor seating and rusty garden table.
The mattress in the single bedroom needed turning to make it more comfortable to sleep on.
