We had a great winter stay in Squirrels Leap with our two young daughters. Very spacious four bedroom house. Very well equipped including a great play room and lots of toys for young kids. The village is good with both indoor pool and heated outdoor pool. Good base to explore the Cotswolds from. Beds could be more comfortable but they are not the worst.

We have just returned from a wonderful weekend at Lower Estate and the house was immaculate and very spacious overlooking the lake the ducks did offer some entertainment too! I would highly recommend the house and I would love to return. Squirrels Leap is fully stocked with everything and anything you need there are beautiful walks and lots to do or just sit back and relax and enjoy the views.

This is an excellent property with a truly beautiful view.
This is an excellent property with a truly beautiful view. We had a wonderful week. The kitchen is well stocked (perhaps slightly too stocked), everything that you need at the house, easy to find with lots to do within a local drive. The walks/cycle rides around the estate are lovely. The outside playground area where you could have drinks/pizza/ice cream was great. It was a pain having to book swimming pools (pandemic related). But the pools themselves were brilliant. We didn’t take advantage of the activities on the lake, but these looked great too. Some minor cleaning issues, but nothing that wasn’t easy to sort out.
