Lodge Collections
Lower Mill Estate
At the Lower Mill Estate, nature comes first. The 500 acre Nature Reserve boasts the perfect balance between nature and living, allowing some of the most varied flora, fauna and untouched wildflower meadows in England to flourish. With this nature-first attitude, it’s no wonder the estate includes two Sites of Special Scientific Interest and is home to an abundance of wildlife including deer, otters, badgers and beavers.
The Lower Mill Estate is a stunning setting to explore by foot, bike, kayak or paddle board. With seven lakes, three rivers and hundreds of acres of meadowland and woodland to discover, you’ll feel truly immersed in the untouched beauty of the great outdoors, and all from the doorstep of your Lakeside Spa Holiday lodge.
Lower Mill Spa
Welcome to your exclusive haven. Harmonised with equal parts luxury and nature, drift further into relaxation as you fully indulge in bliss. Feel the weightlessness of both body and mind as you take a morning swim or dissolve tensions with a rejuvenating treatment.
From newborns and children of all ages, to adult-only sessions, the spa is a welcoming space for all and access passes are included in all our lakeside lodge stays.
Activities on the estate
Located in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Lower Mill Estate offers a wide variety of activities to get the whole family into the great outdoors.
Equipment hire is available from The Activity Hub onsite, or you’re welcome to bring your own from home.
Activities off the estate
While you can fill your days with adventure at Lower Mill, further beauty and exploration awaits from the doorstep of the estate.
Located in the stunning Cotswold Water Park, take the day to seek adventures the wider area and you’ll find plenty of Cotswold activities both on and off the water.
The Ballihoo Clubhouse
All Lakeside Spa holiday lodges come equipped for self-catering. But after a long day making memories on the estate or following a lazy evening on the lake, cooking is the last thing you probably want to think about. And with an all-day restaurant onsite, you don’t have to.
Head to the Estate's restaurant, Ballihoo, for food and drinks throughout the day. Enjoy a freshly prepared breakfast to fuel your morning on the water, stop off for a midday stone-baked pizza served from the pizza shack, or dive into dinner after a long day making memories with friends and family.
