Waterfront vacation rentals in Gloucestershire

The apartment was even better in reality than in the photos - lovely decor and comfortable beds/sofas. As we had lovely weather for our weekend stay , we sat outside on the rooftop terrace relaxing at every opportunity, listening to birdsong and lake-watching the wildlife. We hadn’t appreciated the amount of activities on offer at Lower Mill Estate but used the outdoor heated pool, recliners and sauna before we checked in - it really started our weekend in relaxing mood. We went to Ballihoo restaurant during our visit and this was a great family restaurant, very casual with good food - a few minutes walk from the accommodation. We did some Cotswolds sightseeing on the Saturday and it was lovely to know our penthouse and sundeck was waiting when we returned in the afternoon. Jane recommended a local restaurant for the Saturday evening and we weren’t disappointed- the food was absolutely delicious and it made the weekend perfect. Jane & Nico - thank you for everything:-)

Had weekend in Gloucester to visit Christmas markets Ideally located apartment so we could park up and just walk around the town and markets and stop for food and drinks without worrying about driving Took our working cocker spaniel with us so was nice to have a dog friendly apartment rather than staying in a hotel. Having the nature reserve and fields behind the apartment was a bonus Elaina was very quick to respond to messages and very accommodating. Apartment was nice and clean and has all kitchen facilities to use but we took advantage and ate out at nice restaurants on the dock (Greek on the Docks and Dr Fosters and great old dog friendly pub The fountain. Lovely weekend all in all

Vicky and Jake were there to meet us and were very helpful with instructions on how to use heating and appliances within the apartment, we got good helpful advice on the local area and were made very welcome. Lots of little extras to help us feel at home and it was an extremely comfortable place to come back to and relax after a long day at the races or on the tourist trail. We would definitely consider using the apartment again in future visits to Cheltenham.

What a great find in Gloucester! Great location to bars, restaurants and shops.

We visited Upton for the Sunshine Festival, but didn’t want to spend the weekend in a tent! We were thrilled to find this beautiful apartment with a river view, just steps from the local pubs and restaurants. Elisabeth phoned me the day before arrival to give clear directions, then she met us outside the property. We had a quick tour of the apartment, and she left us milk and biscuits. The apartment was very clean and comfortable with plenty of room for us both. Plenty of storage, although a few more coat hangers would be useful. The shower over the bath was hot and powerful, with a selection of shower gels and shampoos. The kitchen was compact, but had all that we needed, including washing up liquid, tea towel and scourer. The lounge was extremely comfortable with the stunning view of the river. We ate at the Boathouse, 3 mins walk. Delicious tapas and live music. We had a delicious Sunday roast at the King’s Head, 4 mins walk. I would highly recommend Elisabeth’s apartment.

A cosy contained flat sitting about an absolutely stunning valley, overlooking a wood beyond. Holly's flat was absolutely perfect for what I wanted - an away from it all, peaceful location where I could study and write. I love nature and I was surrounded by deer, incredible birdsong, red kites, pheasants and so much more. I was lucky to be here for the bluebells and also the golden fields of rapeseed. Ideal location for anyone who likes hill walking, hiking and / or is doing the Cotswold Way. It takes less than 10 mins to drive into Cheltenham, but this place is truly an oasis of calm and serenity. A 6-min drive to the nearest large supermarket, so that was handy. The furniture etc might be a tad dated but, honestly, the price reflects that fact and, frankly, I loved that this wasn't a show home, but rather a well-loved country place. Holly was wonderful to interact with. I recommend this flat in the heart of the Cotswolds. The bed is super comfy too!

We came, we saw, we cheese rolled! 🧀💥 Four of us descended on this awesome dockside spot for Gloucestershire’s most gloriously unhinged event and what a base it was! Super cool location right by the water, dangerously close to a brewery (you’ve been warned 🍻), and some top-tier pubs within stumbling distance. City center? Just a cheese wheel’s roll away. Perfect HQ for madness and memories. 10/10, would chase cheese and pints again.

Debbie’s cottage was immaculate and so convenient for walks with our dogs along the Wye river and woodland. So close too, for the local Inns, which also allowed our dogs to be with us. Would highly recommend Debbie’s cottage .

Back from a fantastic weekend stay at Vincent’s place. Loved the setting, truly beautiful and quiet, overlooking the lake. House was really well equipped, and spacious and was a fantastic base for the weekend to catch up with old friends. My only slight negative was that the bedrooms had blinds rather than curtains which let a lot of light in, and so we all woke early. That said it was a beautiful place and we would not hesitate to book again. Thank you Vincent.

Great location and communication from host

We had a great time at Sharon’s home. The hosts were very proactive in communicating with us, the house was great, very spacious, clean and great amenities. The surroundings by the lakes was also perfect for our trip! We hope to come back in the future.

Lovely property well kept, made for a great base to explore the local area on foot and bike. Enjoyed paddle boarding on the lake.

We had a wonderful stay at Waddle On Inn overlooking the lake. The house was very clean, comfortable and well equipped. The location is fabulous and perfect for exploring the Cotswolds or having a relaxing break. Five star. Thank you so much xx

Lovely couple of nights stay. Peaceful, close to country walks and runs, village pub and we also paid a visit to the Cotswold Sculpture Park. Pauline was very prompt at replying to a couple of messages and the house was very clean. We were discussing doing the same trip again next year!

Calm place and well maintained, we enjoyed the stay.

Came back for my second stay a combination of work and leisure. Place is so well fitted out and on the docks with great views. Near shops and restaurants.

I had a birthday weekender with friends and the apartment is really lovely and suited us perfectly. Not just clean, but comfortable too with everything you need. The host is great and helpful. It all made the stay so much more enjoyable. 100% would recommend.

My sister and I throughly enjoyed our stay. Everything was clean throughout the property. Really comfy beds and the whole area was peaceful and so quiet. Sarah and Grant were both very welcoming. I can’t recommend them highly enough.

Great place to stay for both work and pleasure. Parking right outside the front door. Walking distance of shops and restaurants. Turn left out of the property and you’re on the river. Turn right out the property, cross the road and you’re at the abbey. Perfect.

The Hideaway was perfect for our stay. Very clean and modern with ample storage in the bedroom. We found the information provided on places to visit and where to eat very useful along with helpful instructions on how to access the lake from the accommodation. The patio doors from the living area do overlook the owners garden but the beautiful view of the lake more than compensates. There is a private courtyard area with seating to the left of the entrance for guests who require more privacy. All in all a very relaxing place to stay after a busy day exploring as well as lovely walks on your doorstep. We would be more than happy to return.

I had a lovely three-night stay at The Old Mill. The apartment was spotless and surprisingly spacious, actually bigger than it looked in the photos. The bed was really comfortable, and the shower had great water pressure... what more can you ask for? The location is ideal, right next to the canal, surrounded by beautiful Cotswold scenery, and within easy walking distance of Stroud town centre and plenty of country pubs. Next time I'm in Stroud, I'll definitely be checking if The Old Mill is available before looking anywhere else.

would recomend

What a gem of a find in Gloucester! Apartment is close walk to the quays and town and situated near everything you would need! Was a lovely open plan apartment that catered to all our needs. Pavol was an amazing host checking in to make sure we were enjoying our stay and everything was alright! Will definitely be booking back with them when we visit Gloucester in the future!
