With the sweeping wetlands of the Lower Mill Estate as its cinematic backdrop, Muntjac Lodge is a light, airy and expansive bolthole apt for escaping the hustle and bustle of modern life. Apart from its serene location, this unique hideaway is generously equipped with five bedrooms just perfect for accommodating friends and family. So whether you're celebrating a birthday, meeting up with friends after a while part, or gathering the extended family, Muntjac Lodge is your paradise.

Setover three floors, you're welcomed by three charming bedrooms on the ground floor, before glass sliding doors lead on to a breathtaking terrace offering scenic views of Howells Mere lake. Climb to the first floor and you'll uncover a glorious open-plan kitchen/dining/sitting area ideal for connecting with friends and family. On the second floor, a further bedroom with a sumptuous king-size bed and large window looking down onto the living space makes for a peaceful oasis after a day sampling the countless activities on offer at the Cotswold Water Park.

Once you've soaked up the addictive ambience of this waterside home, step onto the terrace to gaze at undulating views of the wetlands before slinking up to the first floor balcony to tune in to the majestic sounds of the natural surroundings while you clink a glass of prosecco or play a game of cards.

Ground floor

Bedroom Five:
Drenched in welcoming light and offering generous storage thanks to a sliding wardrobe, bedroom five has two single beds ideal for accommodating friends and family.

Bathroom:
All the essentials can be found in the ground floor bathroom including a WC, hand basin and shower that sits over the bath.

Bedroom Two:
Waterside elegance is yours for the taking when it comes to bedroom two. With its sumptuous double bed and built-in wardrobe, there's access to the sun-drenched terrace through sliding doors where you can sip that morning coffee or try a morning meditation.

En-suite:
Whether you've been trying your hand at kayaking, paddle boarding or windsurfing, bedroom two's en-suite is the perfect place to freshen up after a day on the water, thanks to a shower, WC and hand basin.

Bedroom Three:
In bedroom three, you're greeted by a plush double bed, scenic artwork and access to the spectacular ground floor terrace, apt for species spotting as the wild residents of the water park skim across the water.

First floor

Open-Plan Kitchen/Dining/Sitting Area:
Drenched in glorious light thanks to spectacular floor to ceiling windows, Muntjac's impressive kitchen/dining/sitting area is an ambient place to gather, whether you choose to snuggle on the sofa with a good book and a glass of wine, make dinner from fresh local produce in the kitchen, or perch on one of the bar stools to chat with family. We love the crackling wood burner - apt for warming up after a day on the water.

Cloakroom:
There's a handy WC and hand basin housed in the first floor cloakroom perfect for freshening up before dinner.

Bedroom Four:
Bedroom four is a cosy snug for getting an excellent's night kip. With a small double bed, chest of drawers and window, it's a charming nook for any member of your party.

Second floor

Bedroom One:
Without doubt the pinnacle of this waterside home, bedroom one is an expansive oasis to enjoy throughout your stay. Featuring a plush king-size bed, two bedside tables and a comfortable sofa for evening reading, it's completed by a large window with a view of the open-plan living area.

Bathroom Two:
Light and airy, the second floor bathroom features a bath, shower, WC and hand basin apt for refreshing after a day on the park.

Dressing Room:
With plentiful space for all your belongings - whether swimsuits, jackets or flip flops - the second floor's expansive dressing room makes storage a breeze.

Outside
As the sun rises above the flowing waterscapes of this scenic spot, wander outside with your morning tea to enjoy the soothing sound of wildlife that circles round the terrace. Later on, when little tummies begin to rumble, cook up fresh local produce on the BBQ and take a seat on one of the two first floor balconies to truly take advantage of Muntjac's unforgettable views.

    Muntjac Lodge is well appointed and comfortable. Its position is just back from the lake but has a natural aspect to the rear. The only small complaints were that the travel cot did not have a mattress. It wasn’t where we were told to find it but we used throws under the plastic base to make it more comfortable. The high chair was a bit of a mess and the fabric torn. These are minor issues which didn’t matter for a short trip. The only other thing was that the heating had been set very high on arrival, which made it quite difficult to unload the cars and up three flight s of stairs for the top bedroom. Otherwise we would definitely stay here again. The location far outweighed the few minor issues. Lovely walks and the heated pool was a big hit with the family.

    Had an amazing weekend staying in Muntjac. Ideal for our purposes. Takes a little while to get acclimatised to the layout and workings of Lowermill estate but once we had that sorted it opened a wealth of activities. We made good use of the pool, play park and walks. The pizzas from pizza shack on Friday were great and the Private dining delivered from Ballihoo on the Saturday was delicious would definitely recommend. House was comfortable spacious and well equipped with everything we needed. Could have stayed much longer. Our only quibble was find parking spaces on arrival in the dark. More instruction as to what look for would have helped.

    This was our 2nd visit the first was so good! Good position in Howells Mere with a great outlook at the rear of the property. Very well equipped in the kitchen. There were 10 of us with 2 dogs and had ample room. Only a short walk to our favourite lake. We used tennis court daily and football a few times. It is a huge site for those that enjoy a good walk. It felt very safe and secure. The use of the pools and the spa was an excellent addition. On site support worked very well, and the welcome pack was a lovely gesture. Thank you to our hosts and to support staff.

    Shower on the top floor was super hot and could not be cooled. We could not use this. Outdoor furniture was not clean and full of cobwebs and spiders. We had to hoover before use. The rest of the property was clean.

    Our stay was absolutely perfect, wouldn't have changed a thing except the length of time (we all wished it was far longer!). The lodge, estate and surrounding areas are all beautiful and perfect and we couldn't have asked for a better place.
