    “Having read the responses from the Owners / Management Agency re the roof deck being refurbished in Feb 26, we were looking to spend some time up there.”

    This isn’t the case however and the roof deck still hasn’t been refurbished which was very disappointing. The rest of the accommodation was great however and new carpets, a lick of paint and sofas help make the place much more enjoyable. The location was great as was the view.

The property

The Skydeck is located on Howells Mere overlooking the Site of Special Scientific Interest, and with stunning, far reaching views this is another high quality property in one of the most prestigious locations on the Cotswold Lakes.

Inside the owners have created an amazing, contemporary holiday home, which has clearly been developed with self catering holidays in mind.

On the first two floors are five good sized bedrooms most with terraces and views towards the water, leading to the top floor - an open plan living space with 360 degree views across the lakes and surrounding countryside.

Finally there is the 'skydeck' itself - the very top floor - an outdoor roof terrace with exceptional and interrupted views for miles.

Wow!

Additionally, the property, of course, is situated within a stroll of the multi-million pound Artspa facility - with its indoor and outdoor heated pools, which really complete the package This is an excellent self catering holiday home with the added flexibility of an on-site restaurant - we are quite sure you will agree!

All facilities are currently open at the estate for your use, but please note you MUST book a time slot prior to arrival to use most of the on site facilities.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £500.
