Fisherman's Cottage, Cotswold Lakes - sleeps 6 guests in 3 bedrooms

One of a row of terraced cottages on the Lower Mill Estate, Fisherman's Cottage is in a honeypot location in the centre of Cotswold Water Park. With something for everybody you can take advantage of the on-site facilities, travel further afield to explore Cirencester, Stroud, and Burford, or simply stay in and relax.

The main feature of the accommodation at Fisherman's Cottage is hidden until you step inside. Through the open-plan living area, you can enjoy views out across Somerford Lagoon and step onto the decking to take a seat and drink it all in. In the evening curl up in front of the wood burner and enjoy cooking a meal in the kitchen, which has everything you could need for your stay. With a dining table comfortably seating your whole group, and space to dine outside, you can enjoy time together without the distractions of normal everyday life. Upstairs are three bedrooms, including a bunk room, and there are two bathrooms and a ground-floor WC to reduce queues in the morning so you can get out the door to your adventures quicker.

Outside is a raised deck with steps taking you down to the lake edge. It is a breath-taking location with views of the local wildlife and beautiful sunsets. You will never tire of sitting here enjoying the sights. During the summer you can take to the water and enjoy everything that the Lower Mill Estate has to offer. Bring your own or hire bikes to cycle around the nature reserve or for a longer adventure through the picturesque villages nearby. Hire paddle boards, a rowing boat, or try out a new way of taking to the water on a katakanu which you can also take on a sunset safari on the lagoon. Children will love the play parks, soft play and activity trails on the nature reserve, and adults can relax with a yoga session. There really is no need to leave the estate.
