Location, location, location!

Most of our holiday homes are based on Lower Mill Estate, which offers a unique, Cotswolds family holiday experience to suit all ages, set within the stunning Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty that is the Cotswold Water Park. Whether you are looking for a summer get away with the family, a relaxing Christmas holiday for two in front of a log fire, or an Easter staycation to enjoy with friends, The Cotswolds are one of the top UK holidaying destinations, and a fabulous way to escape the hustle and bustle of every day life.

The houses are all lakeside and well equipped to offer a finely tuned balance of complete relaxation and outdoor adventure.  Lower Mill Estate is perfectly located just 90 minutes from London, set in 450 acres of nature reserve comprising 8 lakes, 2 rivers and miles and miles of walking, running and cycling along private woodlands and footpaths, all amongst beautiful wildflower meadows and fields. There is also a state-of-the-art on-site Spa (with heated indoor and outdoor pools, steam room, sauna, gym and treatment rooms) which is open to residents only, two tennis courts and children’s play areas. The Spa even has a lily-filtered eco-pool!

The on-site ActivityHub can help with water/cycling equipment hire, instruction and local information. They will deliver equipment straight to your door before you even arrive on site for your holiday. Lakeside wildlife includes over-wintering wildfowl, otters, owls, bats, water voles, deer and the first European beavers to be introduced into England.

Whether it is paddle boarding you are after, kayaking, walking (The Cotswold Way skirts the Estate), swimming, boating, fishing, birdwatching, water skiing, playing golf, horse riding or relaxing in the state-of-the-art on-site spa, you will not be disappointed with your Cotswold holiday in the beautiful natural surroundings of Lower Mill Estate. Go on, you deserve it… Make some memories!

Surrounding Lower Mill Estate you will find a host of picturesque Cotswold Villages and historic Market Towns, and Cotswold Sleeps can recommend many day trips to visit restaurants, theatres, Farm Parks, National Trust properties and gardens, and many many more local attractions. The Cotswolds are often referred to as “The honeyed stone heart of England”, and to name a few, Cirencester, Bibury, Cheltenham, Burford, and Bourton-on-the-Water are all well worth visiting and all within an hours drive.

Meet the Team & why you can trust Cotswold Sleeps

Suus Landy

My name is Suus and I live in the heart of the Cotswolds, the beautiful Cotswold Water Park. Managing Cotswold Sleeps has allowed me to leverage years of experience in sales, project management and property development. I pride myself on service, approachability, accountability and attention to detail. Having lived in and around the Cotswolds for more than 25 years I know the area pretty well, and have an amazing group of tradesmen on my books. Most importantly, being supported locally by a wonderful network of friends and family has allowed me to live and breathe Cotswold Sleeps for the past 5 years. I was born in Holland and moved to the UK when I was 12. Following 5 years in Asia, my husband, 2 children and I now live just around the corner from Lower Mill Estate.

I am supported by my wonderful team of local guest services managers, who make sure everything is just so before guests arrive to a property. Where would I be without them.

I love my job!

What a fantastic weekend we had in Chiff Chaff. Everything was perfect from a fully equipped kitchen, hot tub, spotlessly clean and comfortable environment to excellent customer service from Suus. Peaceful and surrounded by nature and greenery. Already thinking about booking again.

Brilliant family holiday, this is our 5th visit to Cotswolds and 1st with Cotswold Sleeps who deliver great service. A fantastic holiday home which delivers on great views, comfy beds for a great night sleep, access to lake, great facilities which we made great use of daily at the gym, pools and hiring paddleboards.I would highly recommend and would definetely return.
Response from the owner:Hi Connor, we’re so glad to hear you enjoyed your stay with us! We very much hope to see you again and thank you for the positive suggestions for the house (thanks Lynne!) All the best, Suus from Cotswold Sleeps
The house was absolutely perfect for our inter generational group! The location was close to the spa and restaurant. Extra special touches included a welcome hamper with locally sourced produce, hot tub, air con, electric car charging point.
Beautiful views over the lake and an abundance of wildlife..Thankyou Cotswold Sleeps
Response from the owner:Ah thank you Jane! We’re so pleased you and your family had such a lovely stay, you were so lucky with the weather ☀️ Thank you for sending those lovely photos too. We hope to see you again! Kind regards, Suus from Cotswold Sleeps
Wow what a fabulous place! Just back from a fantastic few days at Merlin House. A beautiful house and very very well equipped, you really have thought of everything! The site itself has so much to do and a beautiful pool and spa onsite. Some great walks and lots of wildlife and everywhere is so doggy friendly. We had some huge downpours whilst there but with such a gorgeous house it really didn't matter. Loads for our grown up kids to do but also so much peace to relax. All the staff we met on the site were really friendly and helpful. Shopping delivery really simple to arrange and recieve which made for an even easier weekend. Thank you for having us we will definitely be back.
Response from the owner:Dear Nicola, we're so happy you had such a nice stay with us! Merlin House is becoming a firm favourite with our guests, even our staff have booked it out for their family holiday! Thank you for the lovely review and I hope we see you again soon. Kind regards, Suus
Had a fabulous holiday in July. The house is fabulous with much attention to detail. Everything you need has been thought about. The kitchen is like home to home with everything you need.
The hot tub is fabulous and very private with views of the Lake.
The amenities are very close and you are not aware that they are there as it is very quiet.
Highly recommended
Response from the owner:Thank you Julie, we are so glad you enjoyed your stay so much 🙂
We stayed as a family of 10 , 6 adults 4 children 2 were infants in travel cots. The house was perfect, very clean, comfy beds, very well equipped and a real bonus having the pool for 1 hour for our own use. Grandchildren loved it. We would definitely reccomend.
Response from the owner:We hope to see you back again Patricia, thank you for the lovely review 🙂
Serenity by name, serenity by nature, absolutely outstanding place, your home had everything and more, the views took our breath away. Being in amongst just nine properties, made the holiday better, so peaceful and tranquil, will definitely be returning! Would highly recommend this beautiful estate. So much to do. Will be spending more time next year!
Response from the owner:So glad to hear it! Serenity is a gem isn't she? See you again soon! 🙂
Suus was absolutely brilliant in helping us arrange our stay at the amazing Chiff Chaff House on the Lower Mill Estate. Great comms and extremely helpful. We shall definitely be using Cotswold Sleeps for our future bookings
Response from the owner:Hi Tammy, we're so pleased to have given you such a lovely guest experience! Chiff Chaff is lovely isn't it? Thank you so much for the lovely review and we'll see you again soon! Kind regards, Suus from Cotswold Sleeps
