Lakeshore Reserve is a brand new addition to Lower Mill and Habitat Escapes! As such, there are still properties and areas of the estate that are undergoing final elements of construction, so whilst this property is fully completed, you will see construction, machinery, and workers on or around the island between 0730 and 1800, Monday to Friday and 0800 to 1300, Saturday. Please abide by any signage relating to construction areas.

The Retreat at Lower Mill Estate is set entirely on the ground floor, offering easy access throughout and a seamless connection to the surrounding outdoor space.

Inside, the cabin features a cosy open-plan living area with large glass doors that are intentionally left without curtains or blinds to let in uninterrupted natural light and make the most of the stunning views. A fully equipped kitchen, comfortable lounge, and dining area create an inviting space to unwind after a day of outdoor Cotswold adventures.

Bedrooms & Bathrooms:

The two bedrooms, one king and one twin offer restful nights.

The double bedroom comes complete with an en-suite shower room.

There is also a family bathroom.

Outside:

Step outside onto the back deck to enjoy morning coffee or sunset drinks while wildlife passes by, or unwind in your private hot tub overlooking the peaceful surroundings.

Swillbrook lake to the back of the cabin is a site of scientific impact and a protected area for the wildlife that calls it home. No access is available to this lake but access can be gained to Minety Lake, a short walk away from the cabin. 

A wood-fired pizza oven can be found to the back decking, perfect for alfresco dining. Logs can be purchased prior to arrival with our team or at Ballihoo restaurant after you arrive.
