Jess Cottage itself offers a traditional detatched Cotswold Stone Cottage. On arrival there is a large entrance hall with a downstairs spacious bathroom. To the right is the open plan downstairs living area. There is a compact kitchen, cleverly laid out to include all appliances with plenty of worktop space if you fancy cooking. (Fridge / Freezer, Dishwasher, Microwave, Washing Machine, Kettle, Toaster, Coffee Maker, Electric Hob and Grill / Oven.
The main living space is an L-shaped Lounge / Diner with a large Trestle Dining Table and Dining Unit. Round the corner is the seating area with a large sofa and two chairs which can be moved to gather around the Stove Fire place, or the TV. A high chair is available for our younger guests.
French doors leading out on the sun decking area for peaceful mornings and evenings looking over the lake and next to the source of the River Thames.
Upstairs there are three bedrooms, two doubles and a triple bunk bed room. The main bedroom also has a beautiful bathroom, its own TV and stunning view over Mill Lake. The second double bedroom has stunning Lake views and a TV with use of the generously sized family bathroom (shower and bath). The third bedroom is deceptively spacious with a full sized triple bunk bed suitable for adults and children, and also has it's own TV. Stairgates available.
Set within the 550 acre Lower Mill Estate private nature reserve, made up of seven lakes, meadows, woodland and three meandering rivers, Mill Village is a nature lover’s paradise amongst the Cotswold Water Park. Mill Village modelled on the style of local villages, the honey coloured, luxury Cotswold cottages nestle around the lakes, small rivers and streams that make up the estate. Jess Cottage offers modern furnishings and luxury living, whilst retaining that traditional ‘cottagey’ feel.
The award-winning family spa located on-site at Lower Mill Estate is the ultimate place to unwind and recharge. With two heated pools, a lily-filtered eco-pool, sauna, steam room and gym equipped with top-of-the-range Technogym equipment, there’s something for everyone. Tranquil treatment rooms scented with essential oils play host to therapies including hot stone massage, facials and pedicures and manicures using natural skincare products.
