Sunshine, lakes and adventure – May half-term awaits

Make the most of the early summer sun with a May half-term escape to Lower Mill Estate in The Cotswolds or Silverlake in Dorset.

With longer days, warmer temperatures and the lakes officially open, it’s the perfect time to reconnect with nature and immerse yourself in the great outdoors. Whether you're paddleboarding across tranquil waters, cycling scenic trails or simply relaxing in a stylish lakeside lodge, our two exclusive Estates offer a refreshing break for families, couples and groups alike.

Offering holiday homes with two to six-bedrooms within an exclusive private estate, gather the whole family together for an escape to remember. With restful, elegant and understated interiors, modern kitchens and bathrooms, soak up the early summer sunshine or relax in a private hot tub.

With a range of pet-friendly properties or homes with private hot tubs, our holiday lodges have everything you need for the perfect break.
