About Merlin House

Merlin House is pure Cotswold magic. The lakefront holiday home enjoys fantastic views and plenty of space for eight people in four highly comfortable bedrooms. As part of the prestigious Lower Mill Estate in the Cotswold Water Park, it offers superb features to families and friends, including an enclosed deck with a gas BBQ for outdoor entertaining, an EV charging point, and free access to the on-site pool and spa facilities. If you're searching for a stylish yet relaxed Gloucestershire holiday rental with plenty to do without driving for miles, you'll love Merlin House.

Lower Mill Estate boasts some of the most desirable holiday homes in the Cotswolds. Spend even an hour here, and you'll understand why. Once a quarry for the world-famous, honey-hued Cotswold stone, it is now a tranquil nature reserve that provides a haven for a wealth of flora, wildlife and migrating birds and is a place of peace and beauty for holidaymakers. Bring your binoculars to spot nightingales, water voles, sandpipers, cuckoos, house martin and, if you're lucky, shy beavers. Lower Mill has walking and cycling routes, an award-winning spa with pools, a sauna and steam room, and luxurious treatments. There is direct lake access from behind the house and you can also use the estate's tennis courts, playgrounds, SUP and canoe hire, and a family-friendly restaurant.

Cirencester is only a few miles from Merlin House. In addition to having one of the oldest polo clubs in Britain, the town has a wide array of places to shop and eat and an excellent Corinium Museum showcasing its Roman history. Other Cotswold attractions to visit include WWT Slimbridge Wetland Centre, Blenheim Palace and Gardens, Westonbirt Arboretum, Cotswold Wildlife Park, Cotswold Falconry Centre, and the Model Village in Bourton-on-the-Water. Broadway Tower is a favourite walking destination, as is Batsford Arboretum and Cerney House.
