Full Description
This beautiful lakeside cottage on the Lower Mill Estate gives a taste of luxury at the popular Cotswold Water Park. No matter the time of year there are endless on-site activities to take advantage of for both adults and children. Family bike rides, fishing trips, a relaxing spa treatment and competitive tennis matches are just a few of the options you can enjoy here. Guests at Lamb's Tail also receive 2 passes to the luxurious on-site spa where you can relax with a treatment or brave the natural outdoor pool. If you venture further, you can explore historic Cirencester, charming Stroud, and popular Burford.

Arranged to take advantage of the lake views, Lamb’s Tail has a spacious open plan living area on the first floor. Stepping out onto the balcony with your morning coffee as you watch the peaceful lake ripple before you is an unbeatable way to start your day. We’re sure you’ll spend most of your time out and about but when you return, the comfort of Lamb’s Tail is waiting for you. With a large sofa set before the wood burning stove, you can have a family film night, BBQ on the balcony, or have some time to yourself with a long soak in the tub. Suiting a variety of groups, there are two bedrooms on the ground floor, each well-equipped with comfortable bedding and access to the terrace so you don’t miss a moment of this fabulous location.

Between the terrace and balcony there is space for casual evening drinks, to enjoy a good book or a full meal together.

We had a great stay at Lambs Tail this weekend over my birthday. We have stayed on the Lower Mill Estate before and had a good time as always. The property is very clean and comfortable and has a great location.

We stayed for a few nights with a 3 year old and a newborn, it was absolutely ideal. Large master with a cot and all linens. The property is stunning and the photos don't do it justice! It's well catered for a young family (toys, cutlery, cups, puzzles etc), and we have already recommended it to several friends. The welcome instructions were fab. Parking space is nearby, and spa passes lovely and great for BBQ's and chilling.
