The complex was good, especially the heated outdoor swimming pool. The only disappointment, which we should have researched beforehand, was that some of leisure facilities in the area had closed in September, in particular the Cotswold Water Park and beach area.

We stayed for the October half term. Had great days out to Cotswolds wildlife park , and surrounding areas. Explored the lower mill estate and used all the facilities. 5 star accommodation with everything you need.

The house was clean, comfortable and nicely furnished. We had everything we needed to cook, although we could have done with an extra frying pan and we had a bit of difficulty opening the freezer drawers as it could do with defrosting. Checking in was easy and communication good. The house was a short walk from the outside pool (which was so warm!) and the Activity Hub. We loved the village itself and had some lovely walks, lots of swimming, fishing and hired a katakanu. We will definitely be back!
