Bring all the family

We have a fantastic selection of dog-friendly cottages and contemporary homes where you can holiday in style, knowing your pet will be welcome when you arrive. Our pet-friendly holidays are perfect for the adventurous pup with endless trails through woodlands where they're free to roam, collect sticks and find muddy puddles.

 

We like to pamper pooches, so they're welcome at the Ballihoo restaurant, where they can enjoy a delicious bespoke menu and selection of treats just for them. With so much to do in the Cotswolds, you can book your escape safe in the knowledge that your four-legged friend will be welcomed and cared for.

Flower Wellness holidays

Discover relaxation

Nature has a powerful, calming effect on our minds, bodies and soul. We believe in a natural, holistic and nurturing approach to wellness, with the Lower Mill Estate Leisure & Wellness club designed with nature at its core. 

Take a dip or recline by our indoor or outdoor heated pool. Boost your immune system with a plunge into our outdoor eco-pool, naturally filtered by water lilies. Enjoy a rejuvenating sauna or steam, then relax in the restful 'relaxation room'.


Restore balance and recharge your mind, body and soul with a soothing GAIA treatment, letting the soft lighting and sweetly scented oils immerse you in our tranquil oasis.
