8/10 Good

Beautiful accommodation, cosy stay!
Beautiful accommodation, luxury quality and spotless throughout, cosy stay! Especially appreciated the sound and lighting systems, stunning fireplace and comfy beds. Areas for improvement include customer service by the management company, as communication was somewhat slow and transactional with little personal touch or possibility for flexibility around check in / check out times (communication direct with the owners of the property was great however, most warm and kind). In addition worth noting that the property is right on a minor road running through the village, not a problem but it's possible to hear mild traffic from two of the bedrooms, basically not completely quiet if you're expecting a totally rural and tranquil setting. But definitely calm nonetheless :) Overall we had a lovely and happy stay here, would highly recommend with the caveat about the brusque customer service!

A perfect stay
It was the perfect place for a gathering with friends. Great communal areas, so comfortable and beautiful throughout. We have a great roast at the pub in the village - thank you so much for the recommendation

Autumn break
We had a wonderful stay at this stunning property.. it was everything we’d hoped for! Our first short break this year and a much needed family get together which was perfect. A lovely warm house to greet us after a long journey from Wales… plenty of space, a perfect temperature throughout our stay with underfloor heating, very comfortable beds, a cosy PlayStation room that the children loved, well fitted welcoming kitchen, beautiful bathrooms (we had our own bath in our room!) and a gorgeous hot tub! The lighting throughout the house was amazing plus the Sonos music system… The dining table was lovely and big for us all to gather around at meal times. Such a beautiful property with gorgeous grounds… highly recommended we can’t wait to return!!

What a wonderful find!
We visited Berry Farm for my mothers 80th birthday celebration weekend. It was a family weekend across all the generations and the house just suited us perfectly. The grandparents loved the cosy corners to sit and read the papers, and the wonderful garden. The tweens enjoyed the hot tub, watching a movie in the huge sitting room, making a cake for Granny and paddle boarding on the lakes. The adults enjoyed long dog walks and the amazing kitchen and space the house offered. And the dogs enjoyed the freedom and wonderful welcome doggy bags. We couldn't have asked for any more. The managing agents were prompt to sort out any problems we had, but its a shame they weren't a little more friendly in their manner! But that said, we just loved it and will definitely be returning (should the bank balance allow).

We are Barry and Jo and we have an amazing collection of Cotswold holiday lodges on Cotswold Water Park near the old Roman town of Cirencester with most of them dog friendly.
We’ve been coming to this beautiful area for many years and about 5 years ago we decided to make the move permanent. We set up our company in 2018, starting with our own holiday home on Windrush lake but as you can see from our portfolio now, we have grown quite considerably!We love to travel and just before the “you know what pandemic” we spent 12 months travelling around the world ending up in New Zealand for Christmas and New Year and then working our way up to Hawaii and North, Central and South America. We think we know what it takes to get a place right for our fantastic guests but we are always learning!

We couldn’t do this without our fantastic team which is growing year by year. Unlike many of the larger companies selling holiday lets we, and our team, know all of our properties intimately because we provide the full service from cleaning and hosting through to managing the hot tubs, the plants on the decking and even window cleaning! Jo, Adele and Meg are the last ones to visit your holiday lodge just before you get there to make sure the place is perfect for your stay – you may even bump into one of them on your way in!

Why they chose this property

Whether your preference is for high-octane mechanised water sport, the more gentle and sedate wind or oar-powered sports or maybe experience the fantastic walks and cycle rides the area has to offer. Or maybe you just want to spend the time relaxing in and around the lodge and hot tub. Cotswold Water Park Retreats is the place from which to base yourself.
The Cotswolds is a great place to visit – it combines chocolate box charm with attractive Cotswold stone properties. It really does have something for everyone – see our Local Area page and ‘like’ our Facebook page for more ideas of places to visit and things to do plus special offers
