We can offer you things to do here on site. There is a dedicated large lawn area for holiday makers with children’s swings and slide set on rubber safety chips, a trampoline and a outdoor table tennis and football table. A large patio area with garden furniture and a barbecue for your use, please bring your own charcoal. The grass runs down to the lake where you can sit and while away the hours if you wish. Please be aware that the water is deep.

We are surrounded by beautiful countryside and pretty Cotswold villages and towns.

Trout fishing is available at Lechlade where you will also be able to walk the tow path along the River Thames, find plenty of places to eat and a variety of shops. Walk the Thames Path under the ancient Halfpenny bridge and enjoy a trip up the river by barge. In Bibury you can feed the young fish at the trout farm. Whilst here make time to visit the word famous Arlington Row.
