About this property

These two stunning lakes located within the 550-acre Lower Mill Estate and Lakeland nature reserve, a luxury second home development, within the beautiful Cotswold Water Park region. These contemporary, holiday homes are designed in such a way that they stylishly utilize natural light through vast expanses of glass and enjoy stunning views over the mirror-like surfaces of the lake.

These glass fronted, lakeside holiday homes offer spacious living across three floors, with open plan living, kitchen and dining areas. Each property has two expansive sun decks which offer stunning views of the lake to enjoy ‘al-fresco' dining or to simply soak up lakeside life.

Lower Mill Estate is a wonderful natural setting and adventure playground where guests can enjoy a wide range of on-site activities then sit back and relax in beautiful surroundings whilst being fully immersed in nature and wildlife.

There are a wide range of on-site activities from kayaking, boating and paddle boarding to exploring the many lakes, rivers, woodland, and nature trails on foot or by bike. You might be lucky enough to encounter the resident beavers too.

Go fishing, play tennis, swim in the heated outdoor pool, watch the children have fun in the play area and then chill out on your decking or visit the Ballyhoo Restaurant & Clubhouse. Bike and equipment hire, and tuition is available at the on-site ‘Activity Hub'. For more information see our Lower Mill Estate page.

These luxury holiday homes also have free access to the award-winning Lower Mill Spa, setting them amongst the finest of Cotswold spa breaks...

Great house and location

We had a lovely 3 night stay in this home. The beds were very comfortable and sheets were beautifully soft. Plenty of towels in the bathrooms and the kitchen had every utensil you could need. Love the location, have been before and will go again!

Great house for a group of friends in a lovely location

The property was ideally located on the lake in this lovely estate, perfect for a group of friends, but would stay with family too. The house had everything we needed and the hot tub was an added bonus.

Great stay

We all thoroughly enjoyed our family get together stay at Crane Lodge. Orion Holidays were extremely efficient and accommodating. Only negative is the lack of proper signage on the complex making it difficult to locate the Lodge.

Lovely sunny weekend

We had a great weekend at Howell’s Mere. The location is lovely and the house was perfect for us to enjoy the water and sit on the terrace. We really enjoyed the swimming pool and nature walks, although it was a bit tricky getting around as so many parts of the park are private and it isn’t always clear where you are allowed or not.

Lovely sunny stay

We had a wonderful weekend in this lovely property. We enjoyed playing and swimming in the meres and lagoons and the spa pool. We spent lots of time on the veranda and enjoying the BBQ.
