Vacation rentals with lake access in Mendip District

Truly wonderful stay - my parents and daughter travelled from Australia to spend Christmas with me and we decided to go to the Cotswolds (along with my dog). I couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay. Tracey’s home had everything we needed, set amongst a beautiful, tranquil surrounding nestled on the lake. Picturesque views and relaxing surroundings. The house itself is beautifully presented - lots of lovely little touches and thoughtful additions. It was so easy to get around from the house to all different parts of the Cotswolds - perfect place to come back to after a days worth of outings. Nice hot shower and comfy couch and amenities. Restaurants and pubs close by within an easy four to six minute drive - dogs welcome! Thank you for a wonderful stay. It truly made our Christmas.

We had a lovely stay at the cottage. The house was really lovely and well equipped for 3 families all staying together. The Estate was lovely and the facilities great, although you meed to remember to book things like the Spa we'll in advance and the pool and pizza. I wouldn't hesitate to return.

We had a wonderful time. The place is lovely and much nicer and bigger than the photos in my opinion. The host was really responsive and helpful. Would highly recommend to anyone wanting a trip with friends or family. Kitchen has more than enough glasses/pots/pans etc which was really helpful when cooking a meal for 6. Lovely space and I will be back :-)

Had a lovely New Years break. House was clean and comfortable. Close to local attractions and amenities in the Cotswolds would thoroughly recommend.

4 couples, had a great weekend at Eider Cottage. Only one parking place allocated, but plenty of visitor places nearby. The house was clean, comfortable and very well equipped. We kicked off our shoes and completely relaxed. Being directly on the lake was wonderful and we enjoyed using the Kayaks to explore the other side. Saw many varieties of birds. The Spa is a short walk away. We booked the day before, and had a lovely time using the 3 pools. We did a lot of walking around the beautiful lakes and 2 of us brought their bikes. The on site Property Managers, Liam & Pete were on hand and had excellent communications. We would highly recommend Eider Cottage and hope to return to Lower Mill Estate in the near future.

We had a wonderful stay as a group of friends celebrating some big birthdays. The house was stunning and spotless. We had great fun on the lake each day and enjoyed some lovely walks and meals out at local restaurants. Beautiful scenery from the decking, bedrooms and hot tub! James was very communicative and helpful and there were some lovely birthday surprises left for us. A really special break, we’ll definitely be back.

Lovely warm welcome to me and my friends .The location is super , right get next to the water with a slipway to launch canoes and paddle boards , yet a 5minute walk into town . Enjoyed the hot tub in the evening. The Chalet was very spacious and well appointed . Great for few days away with friends , we would book again .

We had the best time at Di's house. It was the perfect place for our family get together. The house itself is fantastic, spacious, clean and very well appointed. So much is provided! And the area couldn't be better - overlooking the lake with lots of birds to observe - and close to amenities like tennis courts, kids play park, table tennis and games room. We also loved the wraparound decking, the well equipped kitchen, spacious bedrooms and comfy sofas. I can't recommend it highly enough for a multi-generational get together. We will be back!

We had a fantastic stay with Jay and Jo! The lodge was absolutely beautiful, was spotlessly clean and had everything we could have needed. The breakfast basket and fresh eggs were a lovely welcome and Jay and Jo couldn’t have been friendlier. We would absolutely recommend the lakeside lodge and cannot wait to return!

Clean fresh practical layout. Great location. Good local amenities. Fitted our requirements perfectly.

This is the perfect place, everything is catered for and as described. The location is perfect. Sheralee is the best host that I have dealt with and couldn’t be any more accommodating. You will not be disappointed if you book this wonderful apartment: Thank You ☺️

Beautiful apartment with everything u need. Right next to the ocean, u could hear the waves in the night coming in. Would recommend :)

A beautiful apartment, top notch! fabulous main bedroom, en suite. huge lounge and kitchen area, leading onto a nice outdoor area overlooking one of the many lovely lakes . good position, near to main amenities. spotlessly clean! Thoroughly enjoyed my stay, thank you . will definitely return !

Geoffrey's place was a beautiful apartment with stunning views, especially the sunset. amazing to relax at the end of the day on the balcony. Top tier! Geoffrey was great and super helpful. He left breakfast and everything we could possibly need to cook and make ourselves at home. Would 100% recommend and if the time came would definitely stay again. Thanks heaps!

We had a wonderful stay at Aston House in the beautiful Lower Mill Estate. We were a group of 8 adults, 2 children, and a dog, and the house fitted us all comfortably with plenty of space to relax and unwind after busy days exploring. The living areas were perfect for chilling out and watching TV together. The location was ideal too – just a 30-minute walk along the Thames Path to The White Hart, which was a great bonus. The hosts were extremely responsive and provided clear, helpful instructions throughout. Highly recommend!

Incredible place to stay - very beautiful & perfect if you love nature (especially birds)! Really lovely hosts - very generous, friendly and kind. Would highly recommend & might return in the future!

Wonderful stay. The house was exactly what we were after. It was in an excellent location and had everything we needed. We will most likely book again!

Anna place is absolutely beautiful, the views are also incredible. Thank you for letting us stay it was a pleasure and we loved our break away for busy life to a peaceful place with beautiful views.

We stayed for 2 nights at Sharon’s place and were very happy with everything about the house and area. I had not realised how rural the village was and loved the views from the back door watching the sun rise over the hill. The house was spotless and well appointed. The welcome pack was a nice touch although we had brought food with us. The beds and bedding were very comfortable. We had an Indian takeaway from Merthyr Tydfil the first night which we collected. Only 18 minutes drive away, then cooked the second night. Plenty of utensils in the kitchen. We loved the drive over the moors with the fabulous views and had a wonderful hike in the Brecon Beacons. We also visited Brecon and enjoyed having a look around d the shops. Sharon was very responsive and able to give recommendations. We would recommend to anyone planning to explore the area.

Great place to stay, we took day trips to Salisbury, Cheltenham and Bath. All were within easy reach. Such a peaceful and relaxing place to stay. Homely & well-equipped. Note that to use the indoor pool you have to ring them or walk over at 10:30 in the morning to book a 1 hour slot for the next day. Would definitely recommend staying here. We are looking forward to coming back.

A perfect place for a few days' relaxing, break in an idyllic setting. Amongst the places I've stayed for holidays & short breaks it was one of the best with many thoughtful touches, such as tissues in every room & welcoming bread, eggs & cider from their cider business. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone.

The host, Jason: Contacted us before the booking with lots of helpful information about the cottage and estate. He kindly asked if we needed recommendations and provided a whole list of activities and areas to explore. His instructions for accessing the property were also clear and friendly. Jason offered us early check-in and late checkout—both of which were much appreciated. He made us feel welcome before we even arrived. He left lots of complimentary snacks, drinks, bread, eggs, and milk, along with a welcome sign for our family. Beautiful ducks came right to the patio, and Jason even left us duck feed. Jason also provided tennis rackets and table tennis gear for use at the facility, which was a lovely touch. Jason is very proactive and responsive. The cottage: We felt right at home! It’s very private and cosy, with three toilets. The beds were comfy, and we were very comfortable. There are plenty of plates and pots available too. We made brilliant memories here. We recommend!
