Holiday rentals with a sauna in Kennet and Avon Canal

The apartment was even better in reality than in the photos - lovely decor and comfortable beds/sofas. As we had lovely weather for our weekend stay , we sat outside on the rooftop terrace relaxing at every opportunity, listening to birdsong and lake-watching the wildlife. We hadn’t appreciated the amount of activities on offer at Lower Mill Estate but used the outdoor heated pool, recliners and sauna before we checked in - it really started our weekend in relaxing mood. We went to Ballihoo restaurant during our visit and this was a great family restaurant, very casual with good food - a few minutes walk from the accommodation. We did some Cotswolds sightseeing on the Saturday and it was lovely to know our penthouse and sundeck was waiting when we returned in the afternoon. Jane recommended a local restaurant for the Saturday evening and we weren’t disappointed- the food was absolutely delicious and it made the weekend perfect. Jane & Nico - thank you for everything:-)

Miranda’s place is a gem; tranquil self-contained flat with everything you need, plus many extra special touches, set in a beautiful garden surrounded by stunning countryside. This is the perfect place to rest and enjoy the sights and sounds of nature. There are endless amazing walks and activities nearby and further afield in the Forest of Dean and major supermarkets and other shops only 20-30 minutes drive away. We received a warm welcome from Miranda and Mark and Miranda went out of her way to recommend walks and other local activities and to make sure we were comfortable. Her work is fascinating and she was generous in sharing a glimpse of that and in accessing us to her gorgeous horses and to produce growing on the farm. Looking forward to a return visit!

what a lovely place to stay. safe, secure, spacious and lovely hosts. they are so friendly and could not go further to be of help with anything. Warminster shops are 8min drive away. Longleat safari is 10mins away and the pub at the top of the road, is very friendly. ring before to check how busy they are as we couldn't get food. thank you so much Nick, Liz and Charles

Absolutely perfect as always, one of my favourite places to stay, thank you so much.

We loved the apartment, immediately felt at home. Unusual artefacts give it a special feeling, and signs of family life make it welcoming - you don't feel you're renting. The sitting room is huge with comfortable sofas and armchairs, and shelves full of books to read. There's a dining room and two bedrooms and two bathrooms but, alas, my only criticism, only one toilet. I'd do away with the sauna and put in a toilet instead. The kitchen is really well equipped with everything you could possibly need. The Upgrade Authority is very efficient - I blew a fuse using the toaster and it was fixed immediately. The area is lovely, a village suburb, with a mix of shops, takeaways, restaurants, and traditional pubs. We hope to return.

Place is lovely and quiet on a country lane. Owners Mark and Lavinia are very helpful and friendly. Loved the peacocks and their dog Lyra. Great location to drive out each day to explore the area from Bath up to the Cotswolds.

Justin and Kerry were brilliant hosts, they were extremely helpful and responsive before and throughout the stay! The property was perfect and met our needs! The option for bike storage and the sauna was a really special touch and we really appreciated it! We would 100% recommend this property and the hosts to anyone and we will be booking again if we come back to Cheltenham! Thank you both!

We knew the house would be amazing from the photos but we were absolutely blown away when we saw it! It is huge (especially the two main bedrooms) and we loved having the extra little lounge for the kids which was stocked with games and books. The outside space is incredible with wrap around decking and a huge bbq. Michelle responded very quickly whenever I sent a message and her instructions for how to find the house were easy to follow. Would definitely recommend the house and will be back next year!

beautiful area and home we really enjoyed.our stay - brilliant

Wow what a place. Every bit of it was perfect just as we imagined. The little girls loved every moment as it gave them the cottage feel they were thinking of. I must say the place is very well equipped, Justine has added small touches like towels, hand wash, shampoos, ear buds, candles. You don’t normally expect them but very well equipped. It literally feels like you’re at home, I’m glad we made this choice. There was an onsite sauna which we didn’t get to use but looked really cool. Maybe on our next visit we will get to use it.. The outdoor garden was magical, nice breezy, birds tweeting, just absolutely beautiful. Well done Justine to you and your partner for having a lovely place. All the best and hopefully we will book your place again in the near future. Thank you once again. You have a lovely flower garden by the way👌🏼

Such a great property. The house itself is very nice, spacious and thoughtfully put together. The pool, sauna and sauna are amazing. Would thoroughly recommend.

We had a wonderful stay at Kate’s property. The location was perfect—peaceful and with stunning views of the lake. The estate offers a range of amenities for both kids and adults, and we really enjoyed the beautiful walks around the lakes and along the Thames. It’s also ideally situated for exploring the Cotswolds, with plenty to see and do just a short drive away. A perfect base for a relaxing and memorable getaway!

This place was spacious, modern, clean, and very well equipped for 5 adults and several babies requiring high chairs and plastic spoons and beakers. Lots of cutlery and crockery too - no washing up before you could sit down to thd next meal, which I've known in other place. There was a huge fridge and a big freezer; the appliances were clean, new and easy to use. Lovely linen and comfy beds. Nicola was speedy in her responses and allowed us an earlier check-in and later check out which was massively helpful we had a lovely stay and would certainly consider returning. Thank you Nicola

A great place to stay for families and groups. Super quick responses, loads of info provided in advance and useful links to places in the area. Lovely house and so much to offer for the young and old - our group ranged from 5 years old to retirees and we all had a fab time. Everything was lovely and clean and well maintained. Would happily go back. Thank you!

We stayed here to celebrate my Dad’s 70th birthday as a family. The house is absolutely beautiful, it’s very clean and the interior suits the surroundings perfectly. The view of the water is stunning and so lovely to look at first thing in the morning! I would highly recommend. There’s also lots to do on site which is real bonus. We walked to the local pub, the Bakers Arms which we’d highly recommend for a short but pleasant walk. Thank you for a wonderful stay!
