Property Information
Kingfishers House is a brilliant holiday cottage for people who want to enjoy a central Cotswolds location as well as the stunning location of the Cotswolds' lakes. Situated within the Cotswolds' 450 acre Lower Mill Estate nature reserve and just a two minute stroll from the River Thames tributary, the property offers accommodation ideal for families with youngsters but also perfect for couples looking to relax. Internally, the cottage is welcoming and well furnished with your own grassed area outside, perfect for sitting / playing with small and shallow stream and lake beyond. The Lower Mill is particularly appealing as there are many activities on offer including an outdoor heated swimming pool, tennis court and walking as well as countless other activities nearby. In our opinion Kingfishers House is perfect for those who like space, peace and much to do to do outside the traditional holiday times. Superb!
Customers clearly love it, a recent comment says: 'the cottage is stunning and absolutely everything we needed was there. We loved the area so much we've put the next date in the diary for a return visit!' Beat that!!

Local Information
The Lower Mill Estate is a 450 acre private nature reserve, located in the heart of the Cotswold Water Park. Not to be confused with water slides or fun park, the Water Park is in fact a nature lover's paradise, including two Sites of Special Scientific Interest, with thousands of wildlife species all living in harmony with this very attractive part of Gloucestershire.
As a guest, you are free to enjoy the whole Estate at your leisure. Many people comment that Lower Mill often feels like a time warp back to days when children can run about freely and safely (with the resepct of water of course). You may want to enjoy a peaceful walk around one of the beautiful lakes, fish, and bird watch from one of the hides or sail on one of the lakes. A small farm shop is situated in Mill Village, offering all of the essentials.
