Excellent cosy cottage
We had a ladies friends weekend away in early Nov. Beautiful cottage with everything you need. Log burner was fab and ability to have extra check out time for a small fee was worth it. Having the added bonus of the spa pass made the weekend extra special. The owners are particularly excellent and quick to respond with any of our questions. All good - highly recommended. We intend to return.

Just amazing!
The property was absolutely perfect for what we needed, spotlessly clean, warm, welcoming and with everything you could possibly need for a break away. The owners were very quick to respond to any messages we left and were also very welcoming. Would not hesitate to stay again. Thank you so much, was exactly what we all needed

About the host

Hosted by Olly & Lois

Host profile image
We live relatively locally, and enjoy sharing our cottage with friends, family and thought we'd love to extend our bolthole with like-minded guests who want to get away.

We thoroughly enjoy making improvements to the house since we bought it, which are more in keeping with our style and taste for when we come to use it. Recent improvements include new electric showers to all the bathrooms, redecoration to the living area, with new curtains, moving the second fridge to the kitchen so that the lesser used freezer is in the utility room.

Why they chose this property

Lower Mill Estate is a real gem in that it's in a very rural area away from busy main roads, yet only a 10 minute drive from Cirencester town, or 20 minutes to Swindon and the M4. The wealth of on-site activities suit the varying tastes of our family so no-one can say there's nothing to do, even if it's just playing family board games around the log fire!
Mill Village lake is also very handy for a 20 minute walk around for our mini dachshund, or a longer walk around the estate or the Thames Path

What makes this property unique

We love the log burner and free access to the spa, gym
* the clu-de sac location of the house, means we don't get frequent passers by
* three parking spaces makes a huge difference, two spaces immediately outside the front door is great if it's raining to unpack quickly
* being so close to the main on-site activities less than 10 minutes walk to the bar, restaurant, spa and swimming pools
* being next to the infant River Thames is very relaxing, watching the very friendly ducks some up to forage in the flower borders is a delight (when the dog is in the house though!)
* the bedrooms are all very comfortable and cosy
* we supply little extras that aim to delight our guests (it also means we don't need to bring the kitchen sink when we come to use the house ourselves!)
