The Central England / Cotswolds / Cheltenham / Gloucester region
The Cotswolds area is a popular area for its picturesque towns and rolling fields with beautiful towns such as Cheltenham and Cirencester, and many stunning villages such as Bibury, Stow-on-the-Wold, Burford and Moreton-in-the-Marsh. Cheltenham became a popular spa in the 18th century, and its Regency architecture remains very well preserved, and it also offers an abundance of boutique shopping and restaurants. Tewkesbury is home to the beautiful Abbey, one of the most popular spots in the Midlands for visitors. Stow-on-the-Wold is the highest point on the Cotswolds and Gloucester has a magnificent cathedral.
Cirencester / Lower Mill area
Lower Mill is located five miles south of the historic Roman town of Cirencester, making it an excellent base for exploring the wider Cotswold area. There are many beautiful villages within a short drive.
Much of the 500 acre estate is given over to natural habitat and there are several sites of special scientific interest. Lower Mill takes its name from the historic water mill found at the entrance, one of only two still working on the river Thames, which flows through the area.
Lower Mill is within the Cotswolds Water Park holiday area with lots of water based activities from a man made beach to waterskiing, angling and sailing.
There are many picturesque local pubs and restaurants within a short drive and The Bakers Arms in Somerford Keynes (serving food all week) is within walking distance. An organic shop is also located by the water mill for daily essentials. As well as a wide variety of birdlife on the eight lakes found at Lower Mill, other residents include barn owls, deer, otters and the only "wild" beaver population in the UK.

Guestbook
The perfect perfect place for a family group of ages 5-70 - we had a wonderful stay. MB June 2008
We had a great stay at Beaverbrook, Fab house! DC April 2008
We had a wonderful weekend at Beaverbrook, it was an ideal place to all get together, and all age groups appreciated the swimming facilities. I did not think that I would ever swim outside in November! (in the UK) The dining and kitchen area enabled us to all eat together all the time. We were amazed at the warmth of the house, and hardly used the the central heating although it was so nice to light the wood burner on two of the nights just for the effects. So all in all we found it very comfortable and pleasing.Every where was tidy and quiet at Lower Mill and we all enjoyed the swimming pool complex. A very successful and happy stay. Thank you.
