I first visited Lower Mill Estate (LME) for a week-long staycation in September 2020 (I live and work in London). It was also my first visit to the Cotswolds. I absolutely fell in love with LME and the surrounding areas of the Cotswolds Water Park. I was so impressed by the ethos, design and condition of LME that I decided to buy a second home here.

Forge House for me is the epitome of a Cotswolds cottage hence why I decided to buy this particular property. I am certain you will also enjoy LME and Forge House as much as I do.
