Our favourite place to spend time on the Lower Mil

Our favourite place to spend time on the Lower Mill Estate is out on the water. It's a peaceful place to be and in the Canadian canoe you can glide silently through the water enjoying the wildlife. You could be here next week - we have availability from Monday 23rd - Friday 27th. Message us or drop us an email info@cotswoldfamilyholidays.com for details.

Clattinger Farm, next to the Lower Mill Estate, is

Clattinger Farm, next to the Lower Mill Estate, is absolutely stunning. It is precious remnant of ancient hay meadow and is the only lowland farm in the whole of Britain known to have never received any agricultural chemicals. It is the donor site for the wildflower meadows at HRH Prince Charles' Highgrove Home.
At this time of year it is carpeted with orchids. Think a carpet of bluebells....but orchids. There aren't many places in the world to see that!

Sunrise through the reeds - the view when you draw the curtains at Daisy Chain. We may be biased but we think it's pretty hard to beat!

I couldn't let bluebell season pass without posting a few more beautiful bluebell photos. There is something so peaceful about standing in the beech wood, surrounded by the distinctive scent of bluebells and listening to the birds welcoming in Spring.

A striking two storey modular Koto Cabin has just

A striking two storey modular Koto Cabin has just been built on the Lower Mill Estate. Like Daisy chain, it is an upside down home, maximising the lake views from the living areas. The bespoke pre-fabricated cabins are stacked on top of one another at angles, creating a strong sculptural form outside and wonderful views from inside. Koto draw their inspiration from Scandinavian simplicity and Japanese design to create these distinctive homes.

Now is the perfect time to be heading to North Mea

Now is the perfect time to be heading to North Meadow in Cricklade to see Britain's largest population of Snake's Head Fritillaries in bloom. It's an amazing sight and wonderful to be able to walk through this spectacular meadow. Even closer, at Lower Moor Farm, within easy walking distance from Daisy Chain, Snakeshead Fritillaries can also be found.

What are the ingredients of a good family walk? This is our favourite spot on the walk around Mill Lake on the Lower Mill Estate. A bench to pause on, a wonderful view across the lake and a tree for climbing. Perfect.

What do you look for in a good walk?

Guests staying on the Lower Mill Estate between no

Guests staying on the Lower Mill Estate between now and 24th April can join in an Eater Egg hunt around the estate.
There are 50 eggs (as seen in the photo) which have been hidden around the estate. To find them all you’ll even need to get on the water and hunt around the islands and maybe the edge of the lakes. There may even be one lurking in Ballihoo restaurant. To join in the hunt, you’ll need to head to the Activity Hub in Mill Village where for a £4 entry you will be given a map to record your answers. The entry that finds the most eggs during the period of the hunt has the chance of winning a luxury bug hotel and a chocolate hamper filled with delicious Easter goodies. It’s a great way of encouraging little ones to explore more of the estate. Have fun!

A little glimpse into Mill Village on the Lower Mill Estate where there is a lovely collection of Cotswold Cottages set around an atmospheric pond. It's such an interesting time of year when some trees have burst into leaf while others are still biding their time, waiting for the perfect moment.

It was lovely to watch a stoat scampering across the grass in front of Daisy Chain a few days ago. It paused and looked right at me, showing off its white front before turning and disappearing into the undergrowth, giving a perfect view of the black tip of its tail. I have to admit I did have to check the difference between a stoat and a weasel. I never find the rhyme 'a weasel is weasily recognised and a stoat is stoatally different' much help! For those of you like me who struggle, a stoat's tail is around half the length of its body and ends in a bushy black tip while a weasel's tail is short and stubby by comparison and solely brown in colour.
