    “A lovely little cottage on a peaceful estate.”

    Although the description of 'king-sized bedroom' is an exaggeration (I'd guess queen sized double bed), we could see from the pics the small size of the bedroom, which was ok for us for a few nights. The rest of the cottage was lovely, including the little back courtyard where we sat for morning coffee. We enjoyed the outdoor heated pool, played table tennis, and explored the surrounding Cotswolds area. All in all a very nice stay.

The property

Firefly Cottage is an inviting single-storey escape set on the sought-after Lower Mill Estate in Somerford Keynes near Cirencester, placing you within the beautiful Cotswold Water Park and giving you access to shared swimming pool and leisure facilities.

Designed as a romantic bolthole for two, this nature-filled setting is all about slowing down, lingering over breakfast, and heading out on unhurried walks and trails through the surrounding landscape. Inside, the open-plan living space feels warm and welcoming from the moment you arrive.

Light filters in from the courtyard, drawing you towards the seating area where a woodburning stove waits to be lit on cooler evenings, adding an intimate glow while you dine or chat over a glass of wine.

The pared-back kitchen is straightforward but thoughtfully equipped, giving you what you need to create simple dishes together, while the charming breakfast bar offers a relaxed perch overlooking the courtyard and cottages beyond. A well-presented small double bedroom provides a calm place to retreat to at the end of each day, with a modern shower room close by to keep everything practical and easy on one level.

Step outside and you will find a private courtyard area made for sitting out, reading, or enjoying something chilled in the open air; it can be enclosed, which is ideal if you are bringing along a well-behaved dog. From this peaceful corner of the Lower Mill Estate, you can wander the paths of the Cotswold Water Park, enjoy day trips into nearby Cirencester, or venture as far as Bristol when you feel like exploring further.

With so many options for discovering the Cotswolds and beyond, Firefly Cottage in Ashford Keynes promises a memorable setting for time away together.

Located in north Wiltshire bordering Gloucestershire, Ashton Keynes is positioned on the banks of the River Thames. Lying within the Cotswold Water Park and split by the River Thames, which has many channels here, centred 6.5 miles from its source at Thames Head. Within the village of Ashton Keynes there is a pub named the White Hart Inn, as well as a village shop. Formerly known as Aesctun in 800 AD, Ashton Keynes appeared in the Domesday Book, with ten variants of the name being recorded over the past 800 years. The local school is a voluntary controlled school. Parts of the school building date back to 1870.
