About Sandpiper

Sandpiper is a contemporary, architect-designed holiday home in a prime lakeside position on the prestigious Lower Mill Estate. With direct access to Somerford Lagoon, a private deck and hot tub, and panoramic water views, it offers a luxury escape for up to ten guests. Inside, the interiors are sleek and stylish, with designer touches throughout and a spectacular open-plan living space that's perfect for sociable holidays with family or friends. It’s a showstopper – and just the ticket for multigenerational get-togethers or two families holidaying together.

Lower Mill Estate is no hidden gem but one of the most sought-after private developments in the Cotswolds, beloved by families who appreciate fresh air, fine design and five-star facilities. Your stay at Sandpiper includes complimentary access to the on-site luxury spa, complete with indoor and outdoor heated pools, steam room, sauna and gym. Paddleboards and canoes can be delivered to your door via the estate’s Activity Hub, while little ones will love the playgrounds, soft play barn and nature trails. Days begin with lakeside coffee on the balcony and end with a glass of wine in the hot tub under the stars.

Beyond the estate, the Cotswold Water Park offers more than 180 lakes to explore, with everything from sailing and wild swimming to peaceful bird hides and pub walks. Cirencester, just a short drive away, is a historic market town with excellent shopping and dining, while nearby Tetbury, Bibury and Burford are all worthy of a wander. Further afield, you’ll find Broadway’s boutiques, Westonbirt Arboretum, and the Stroud Farmers’ Market – or just stay close to home and let the calm of this lakeside setting work its magic.
