    We booked this accommodation for my husband's 50th family birthday. Communication about the booking was very good and consistent and the staff I spoke to were very helpful. The accommodation itself was lovely and very comfortable. The location was amazing, right on the side of a large lake. The accommodation was very well equipped. The inside was immaculately clean. The only thing I would comment negatively on was the cleanliness of the outside area overlooking the lake. There was a note in the welcome folder saying that cobwebs were inevitable due to the location next to the lake but the cobwebs on the outside furniture were a lot more than that. It looked like it had not been cleaned for quite some time. We spent half an hour cleaning the furniture which I would not expect to do on my holiday. We did not get any cobwebs afterwards and we stayed there for 3 nights. Overall we had a wonderful holiday and would definitely recommend.

    We had a lovely family trip to Rush house. A perfect get away for a few days in the new year. The house was very clean and perfectly equipped for our family of five. It was snowing during our stay and the house was lovely and warm and the access to the spa for a swim was great. The views over the lake were spectacular. Orion were great to deal with. All the information we needed was provided ahead of time for check in and check out, and clearly set out. I felt that if I had an issue, they would have acted quickly and courteously.

    Superb stay - really enjoyed being able to access the lake with our canoe from the decking at back of house. Thoughtfully decorated and lovely wood burner. Would happily return. Would agree with another reviewer though that the beds are very hard.

    Excellent stay. The kids loved it! Plenty to do. Only downside is that the local restaurants /coffeehouses are a little pricey and either the portion size or quality is lacking. Cirencester is only 10/15 minute drive and offers great inexpensive options. Easy parking too.

    We've had a fantastic stay at Mill Village. The cottage was delightful and has spectacular views of the lake from the decking at the back.

    This is not our first time staying in this cottage - we keep coming back because it is just perfect! Great location looking out over the lake and the cottage is modern, homely and clean. Lower Mill is a fantastic place - it has something for everyone, be it relaxing with a drink whilst looking out of the lake, water sports / activities, country walks, swimming, spa and tennis. There are plenty of good restaurants in the area as well as one on site (Balihoo - which we love). We would highly recommend staying here!

    A fabulous cottage which has been thoughtfully furnished in a modern style with lovely views . We enjoyed having access to the lake for canoeing. Couldn't be better.

    As always Orion holiday team are fab to work with .. and now being the third time we have stayed at rush house we love it the location right on the lake is perfect for the kids and their paddle boarding and kayaking ! The house itself has been done out so lovely tthe refurbishment and all the amenities are all there haven’t missed a trick that’s why we love it so as others are as inaccurate as this ! Although I would say the mattress is a key investment that either Orion or the owner need to look at I would be very surprised if this was the first negative reviews about the bed as to be honest we have now stayed three times and with rbi going own bedding and topper this time still didn’t help us sleep it really does put a dampener on staying here as a result I question whether we will again unless this changes ! Such a shame as a Perfect bolt hole break for us and the kids love it
