Otters Holt, Cotswolds
The moment you see the lake through the glass, your shoulders drop… even though you didn't realise you'd been holding them. Otters Holt is for families and groups who need time to reconnect.
Otters Holt sits inside a private nature reserve in the Cotswolds.
Glass fronted and lake facing on every level, the oak beams bring the outside in before you've even unpacked. From the hot tub on the balcony to the wood burner in the living room, everything here asks you to slow down and tune into your surroundings.
The wider estate has a spa and pools when you want them, and dinner a short walk from your door when you're ready.
The House
Otters Holt sleeps eight across four bedrooms, each with its own bathroom, so everyone has somewhere to retreat to when they need a moment alone. The hot tub on the balcony is where evenings tend to end up, and the wood burner in the living room pulls everyone back together when the sun goes down. The full kitchen and dining table seat everyone comfortably, for the kind of meals that become the ones you talk about for years.
The Estate
The property sits within Lower Mill Estate, one of the Cotswolds' most extraordinary private nature reserves. Beyond your front door there's a spa, a gym and three pools when you want them, plus enough space, water and wildlife to keep younger guests genuinely absorbed. The estate holds a rare balance: completely still when you need it to be, and quietly alive when you don't.
