We stayed at this gorgeous house for a family weekend to celebrate my mums 75th birthday. We had family aged from 18 months to 80 and the house was perfect. The owners have such style and everything so well thought through. We all enjoyed the hot tub and eating dinner on the upstairs decking. Beds were lovely and the master bed rooms were gorgeous. Orion holidays were organised and friendly when we called them. We will definitely be back and use them again .

We stayed at Howells Mere for 3 nights in April to celebrate my dad’s 80th birthday. 10 of us stayed in total ranging from aged 13-80. The setting and accommodation were perfect- I cannot recommend it highly enough. The accommodation was amazing, spotlessly clean, ,beautifully furnished, there were plenty of towels and robes for all of us and the kitchen had everything in you could wish for. We enjoyed big family meals round the dining table. The decked area on the top floor is large and full of comfy furniture with cushions provided and we sat out each evening watching the sun set across the lake. It’s the perfect setting for a family celebration as there’s something for everyone. There are lovely walks from directly outside the property and information on these is provided. If you just want to sit and relax the outlook is amazing. The whole “village” is beautiful and so well maintained, we enjoyed a take away coffee and some pastries from the coffee shop on site. Some of us went swimming at the spa but please be aware that they split the timetable into 90 minute seasons and you have to queue at the start of each session to get a space. It’s well worth a visit though, the main pool is lovely and there’s a big outdoor pool which was a bit chilly but we soon got used to it. The eco pool was freezing but worth a quick dip to re-energise! We also booked the tennis courts- just sign up at the courts and book an hour slot on the paper timetable. The hot tub was beautifully clean and we loved using this and my brother took his paddle board which we just launched off the lower deck into the lake- perfect! The customer service from Orion was truly exceptional, the best I’ve experienced. The online booking was easy, the pre arrival info was so comprehensive, I had a pre arrival phone call to check room configurations etc, another call the day before to say we could check in early and then a member of staff actually arrived at the property on the day we arrived to check all was ok. This is an exceptional property, maintained and managed by an exceptional company and in an exceptional location- get booking !

We had a lovely 3 night stay in this home. The beds were very comfortable and sheets were beautifully soft. Plenty of towels in the bathrooms and the kitchen had every utensil you could need. Love the location, have been before and will go again!

The property was ideally located on the lake in this lovely estate, perfect for a group of friends, but would stay with family too. The house had everything we needed and the hot tub was an added bonus.

We all thoroughly enjoyed our family get together stay at Crane Lodge. Orion Holidays were extremely efficient and accommodating. Only negative is the lack of proper signage on the complex making it difficult to locate the Lodge.

We had a great weekend at Howell’s Mere. The location is lovely and the house was perfect for us to enjoy the water and sit on the terrace. We really enjoyed the swimming pool and nature walks, although it was a bit tricky getting around as so many parts of the park are private and it isn’t always clear where you are allowed or not.

Fabulous property. Spotlessly clean. Previous reviews mentioned marks on walls which, there were, but this didn’t detract from our enjoyment. Property isn’t suitable for people with poor mobility due to amount of stairs but fine for others. Lovely fizz and card greeted us on arrival. Orion Holidays, can’t fault their service. The Cotswolds Water Park is a great place. There’s something for everyone
