Goslings - Floorplan 1
Add to Shortlist
This design-led hideaway fuses rippling wetland views with contemporary interiors making for the most heavenly of stays. Situated on serene waters, stylish backdrops meet homely touches reflected through a spacious open-plan living space featuring an ambient wood burner, plump sofa and striking feature wall inspired by the park’s abundant wildlife. With bedrooms aplenty, this magical hideaway also doubles as the ideal spot for special occasions and family gatherings. Outside, Goslings really comes into its own through an extensive decked terrace and a spectacular first floor balcony apt for spotting birds as they dart across the water below. Journey into the heart of Cotswold Water Park to try your hand at one of the many activities on offer - including paddleboarding, archery and windsurfing – before making this haven your base for discovering the bustling nearby towns of Cirencester, Stroud and Burford.
                                               
Full Description
Set over three floors, Goslings takes lakeside living to new heights – and whether you choose to spend your stay celebrating an occasion, exploring quaint Cotswold towns or relaxing by the fire – we’ve no doubt you'll make unforgettable memories here. With a host of activities within a stone’s throw (think paddle-boarding, archery and windsurfing!), the Lower Mill Estate is the perfect arena for a family break. During your stay, don’t forget to take advantage of complimentary access to the on-site spa where you can enjoy a treatment, take a dip in the natural outdoor pool or sweat it out at the gym. The house itself fuses elegant design with snug homeliness and has a distinct boutique feel that will imbue your stay with style.

Stroll into the open-plan living space for instant cosiness courtesy of a charming wood burner, large sofa and undulating views of the lake beyond. As the day winds down, step into the light and airy kitchen to rustle up dinner before taking a seat at the banquet-style table that invites you to dine in elegance next to a striking feature wall. Swathed in prints and sumptuously soft furnishings, the first floor is just as considered as downstairs with artwork, mirrors and contemporary lamps being just a few of the design elements that complete its four bedrooms with immaculate detail. Voyage up to the second floor and you’ll find space for friends and family in the comfort of beautiful surroundings. Strewn with skylights and on-trend touches including wall panels and colour block bedrooms, this floor makes for the most stylish of slumbers.

Once you’ve soaked up the undeniable elegance of this home, step outside onto the terrace for sweeping views of the wetlands brought to life by the species that inhabit it (think ducks, swans and coots!), before sneaking up to the first floor balcony for even more magical scenes of the natural surroundings while you clink a glass of prosecco, play a game of cards or wind down with a spot of yoga.

Ground floor

Open plan kitchen/Living/Dining Room
Step into the spacious living area and feel the warmth of the sun as it pours in through the floor to ceiling windows, which transform into doors when pushed. Burrow yourself into the comfortable, multi-seat sofa before drawing your attention to the room’s crackling wood burner – perfect for warming cold toes or furry friends. Switch on the TV, pour a glass in front of the fire or pull out a board game and make the most of the living area before strolling over to the kitchen to plan dinner. Equipped with an oven, fridge/freezer and coffee machine, make snacks, a platter or dinner to serve up on the long-length table that lies adjacent to the bird print feature wall.

Cloakroom
The downstairs cloakroom provides everything you need with a simple WC and hand basin.

First floor

Bedroom One
Sink back in pure luxury with this tropical themed bedroom. Decked in jungle patterned wallpaper and complete with a sumptuous king-sized bed, warm lighting and access to the balcony, it embodies a distinct boutique feel that’ll have you nodding off in style.

En-suite
Bedroom one’s en-suite feels equally as elegant, with glistening ivy green tiling and a lit-up mirror adding a touch of glamour. A hand basin, WC and shower over the bath sign this room off on a high note.

Bedroom Three
Bedroom three blends breathtaking design with panoramic views of the park. Swathed in a playful bird print wallpaper and punctuated by floating shelves, it conjures up a real boutique feel. As the sun rises, slide open the doors and slink onto the balcony to tune in to the soothing sound of the natural world.

Shower Room
With a gloriously fresh feel to it, this airy room is equipped with a WC, hand basin and shower perfect for washing off the day's activities.

Bedroom Four
Find sanctuary in the considered surroundings of bedroom four. Cast in a refined navy blue tone and completed by a luxurious upholstered bed, drift off in style before waking to views of the decked balcony and lake through its gleaming glass doors.

Bedroom Six
In bedroom six, there’s a bunk bed ideal for children or young teenagers while the walls are swathed in a charming jungle print and an expansive window draws in welcome light.

Second floor

Bedroom Five
Bedroom five has an undeniable feeling of calm to it, transporting you to a nautical paradise thanks to seaside tones, coastal artwork and a skylight from which sunlight streams in. Two cosy single beds provide room for all the family while a chest of drawers offers space for belongings aplenty.

Bedroom Two
Bedroom two is imbued with a hotel feel that we just can’t get enough of. Cast in mustard yellow with on-trend panelling and a capacious king-size bed, it’ll have you yearning to stay way past checkout day.

En-suite
Matching the elegance of bedroom two, its en-suite has a shower, WC and hand basin, and is detailed with pristine ink blue tiles and a glowing light-up mirror.

Outside


Outside, Goslings' decked terrace hosts a 12-seater table and charcoal BBQ ripe for plating up farm shop finds. Enjoy spectacular views whilst tucking in as the sun dips below the skyline before slinking upstairs to the glorious first floor balcony where you can slouch back in one of two rattan chairs while you sip a nightcap to the soft sound of evening birdsong.
