Trout Lodge, Cotswold Water Park, Gloucestershire

Please note that we are unable to accept bookings from hen and stag groups.

Located on the luxury Lower Mill Estate, a 550 acre nature reserve and award-winning community of sustainable vacation homes, borne out of a passion to put nature first. The private country estate has 7 lakes, abundant wildlife and lovely walks. A paradise for nature lovers and bird watchers, so it's worth digging out the binoculars and keeping eyes peeled for wildfowl, deer and the first families of European beavers to be re-introduced into England.

Trout Lodge is just the place for chilled out gatherings of family and friends and a perfect place to unwind and recharge. Immaculately presented and spaciously arranged over three floors, the private balcony on the middle floor overlooking the trout pond offers an ideal spot for a glass of wine watching the sun go down. It is consistently given excellent reviews by guests.

Guests have complimentary use of an exclusive on-site spa with heated indoor and outdoor pools, a lily filtered eco-swimming pond, steam room, sauna, gym and treatment rooms. The spa's landscaped grounds have hammocks, fire-pits and sun loungers for lazy summer days.

Children are well catered for with play areas, a Miss Mouse Adventure Trail, a football pitch and trampolines. Families can explore to their hearts' content on foot or bikes on the private, traffic free paths among the lakes.

An early morning run or cycle or game of tennis may appeal to some. Canoe, paddle board and bicycle hire is available on site and locally there are lake beaches, watersports, golf, angling and many more active pursuits.

The newly opened restaurant on Lower Mill Estate offers a comprehensive breakfast, lunch, dinner, drinks and takeaway menu. Diners can enjoy fresh local produce for a true taste of the Cotswolds. With wonderful local pubs and restaurants in the surrounding villages you will be spoilt for choice when it comes to dining out.

Visit the on-site cafe and shop to enjoy a coffee and croissant or stock up on last minute provisions with locally-sourced meat and vegetables. You can order fresh bread or newspapers for collection in the mornings.
