Cotswolds Holiday Lakeside Living
A Charming Cotswolds Holiday Destination
Take a look at the Cotswolds in the UK and you find quaint village scenes and old world charm – the perfect vacation destination. Traditional holiday options surround you with a backdrop of spectacular countryside and wildlife in abundance. We have always been loyal to taking holidays in the UK, with the Cotswolds being a firm favourite. We choose to stay in traditional Cotswolds cottage rental accommodation, and in truth, have never been disappointed with what we’ve found. Last year we joined our daughter and her family in a modern-designed lodge, with stunning lakeside views. As our own taste is fairly traditional, it’s not a place we would usually consider – however it’s good to see the Cotswolds is changing to meet the needs of future markets, and we were very pleasantly surprised.
Nature and Wildlife in Abundance
Our luxury lodge was ideal for the family unit, with lots of space for our grandchildren to play and the adults to enjoy the views. Situated just by the Lower Mill Estate, which is teeming with a wide range of wildlife such as butterflies, wild orchids, badgers, beavers, otters, deer; kingfishers, nightingales, egrets and owls, there was much to see and do. Short walks to explore through woodlands and meadows, and secret tracks to discover beside streams and lakes, the whole trip seemed like a mini-adventure for the younger ones.
Outstanding Facilities in The Cotswolds
There’s a spa area and a slate-lined pool to take a dip in – and a convenient little farm shop where you can get those last minute essentials. So, when it comes to the practical things, you can pick up locally sourced seasonal produce and if you arrive late at night or haven’t the time to do the shopping, arrangements can be made for a box of fresh local vegetables and meat to be delivered to your door. Brilliant facilities. Especially for meeting the needs of the younger professional couple or larger family unit that’s looking for more space than an old Cottage would allow. Pretty as they are, quaint pubs are not what we consider a ‘family’ friendly option for our grandchildren.
