Welcome to the home of Philip and Justine Reynolds and this special place, which lies on the Thames Path and within the Cotswold Water Park.

Orchard cottage forms part of the Lower Mill Estate, a unique and secure 500 acre estate made up of nationally important lakes along with a triple SSI nature reserve and the UK's first European Beaver enclosure. Also on the door step we have fabulous walks with an abundance of birds/wildlife/plants which can be watched via our own private hides.

This modern take on a Cotswold cottage is compact but can sleep a family of four with comfort, in one double and two single bedrooms and as its our own home, you will always find it clean, fresh and up to date.

We are tucked away in a sunny courtyard on one side but yet we have direct access on the other to a two acre orchard, which is bounded by the the start of the river Thames providing an oasis from urban life for all the family.

On the facilities page you will see pictures of the outdoor swimming pool and sauna (heated to 82 degrees and open March - Oct and Xmas), all-weather tennis court , table tennis and children's play area but within a 5 mins walk we also have a public sandy beach with water sport and cycle hire centres which will allow you to explore the water park (now bigger than the Norfolk Broads) via the network of cycle/bridleways.

If you jump in the car within 5 mins you can be playing golf on one of two public courses or be on a horse at the local stables, as well as many other attractions - see this site and if you booked you will also be ideally situated for easy access to the historic market towns of Cirencester and Royal Tetbury (10 mins) or the spa towns of Bath (35 mins) or Cheltenham (25 mins) with its famous race course.

For visitors who like food and drink you will be pleased to hear our local freehouse The Bakers Arms is also only 5 mins walk away and for those who wish to go further a field, we are lucky to have an array of outstanding pubs and restaurants in the area like AV8 where you can fly in for lunch! but please take a look at this site for some ideas and reviews.

We do hope to see you soon.

Best regards
