We were a bit disappointed that all the houses were so close and Goslings is semi detached, which I don’t remember being in the description of the house when booking. There was no real privacy when on the terrace. Luckily there was no one in the house that overlooked our terrace. There was a welcome pack of biscuits , tea and coffee and a bottle of Prosecco, which was lovely- but there was no milk to have a cup of tea (until our Tesco shop was delivered! ) I did mention this to the lady that delivered two tea towels but no milk arrived!! My husband and I ( Grandma & Grandad ) arrived first and would have loved a cuppa!
The house was very well equipped and each bedroom had an electric tower fan. However the two attic rooms were still hot and stuffy with only velux windows. The shower in the bathroom on the first floor was very small. The en-suite in the main bedroom had a shower over bath which was tricky to get in and out of. The shower room on the top floor was excellent! A nice walk in shower.
It was a busy Bank Holiday weekend but we were also disappointed to find we had to book the football and tennis court and they were fully booked ( kids were able to join in with others at the football) and we had to book swimming as soon as booking became available at 10am.
It was a bit like being at Centerparcs.
Having said all that, our Grandchildren, who range from 12 to 18 enjoyed going to another lake to paddle board as did the grown ups ( Clearwater is small and more for the wildlife)
The new Ninja grill/air fryer on the patio was great( better and safer than charcoal BBQ) and there was also a new Ninja pizza oven which we didn’t use. The details need updating on the website as there was no need to bring charcoal with us.
The table seated all 11 of us comfortably and there was plenty of seating inside and out.
All in all it was a good fun family weekend.

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts on your recent stay at Goslings. With regard to the property being semi-detached, our website does include photos and a map which show that the house is located alongside others. We’re sorry to hear that you didn't have any milk, your comments have been shared with the property manager, who will follow up with the housekeeping team to ensure this is addressed. In terms of the bathrooms, both a floorplan and a 3D tour are available on our website to help illustrate the layout ahead of booking. We’re sorry too that you weren’t able to book the football or tennis court during your stay. As these facilities are popular, particularly at peak times, we do always recommend pre-booking activities in advance. Finally, thank you for highlighting the new grill and air fryer. Our property details have now been updated to reflect this. We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you back to the Cotswolds in the future.

Good holiday

We had a great get together with all the family situation ideal and amenities fully used once we realised they had to be booked 24 hours in advance.

Spacious comfortable property.
Welcome pack included: Biscuits and bottle of Presecco, but no milk
The 6 dining chairs need replacing, as the raffia has split, causing minor mishaps. Have informed the owner.
Plenty of towels and constant hot water, comfortable bedding

We enjoyed our stay. Kitchen was very well esuipped and the location of the house was good, giving access to all the amenities. It was a busy weekend so lots of queuing to book swimming but overall all on site facilities were goog. Lovely location with excellent walks.

The house is exactly as shown in the photos. Bathrooms are immaculate and large, fluffy towels are provided!

The kitchen is really well equipped for a large group to cook and eat at home. Lots of wine and champagne glasses and even dog bowls are provided!

The house is situated right in the heart of the estate, next to the restaurant, tennis courts and spa and we used EV charging points only a stones throw away.

We’d absolutely love to stay again.

Stayed with extended family the weekend before Christmas and had a lovely time.

Property is clean and well equipped, only issue was the oven was a little small for a 6.5kg turkey but that's unlikely to be a problem for most of the year!

It would also be great if the estate had better signs, it's quite hard to find the right property if you arrive in the dark.

From the minute we opened the front door, it was as it was advertised. We were well notified of how to check in, some lights and music welcomed us, the view amazing. Although the bubbly to enjoy was missing on arrival. Great position within the site, great facilities within, everything you would need. Just two small things, as a large family there was lack of a food cupboard to store non fridge items. Wouldn’t need to be big as there is plenty of fridge and freezer space. And maybe a bigger table at the front to eat as well as the back as that gets the sun. Food at the restaurant and takeaway pizzas were fantastic, but evenings you would need to book. Lots of activities for the whole family of three generations with the youngest being two and a half and two teenagers, the spa and pool amazing, but you have to queue for sessions during weekend day sessions, and I found the locker codes difficult to see my age and I wasn’t the only one. But overall fantastic, would definitely recommend and go again, the site and concept of living in luxury close to nature, brilliant. We had regular visits from ducks, moorhens, and squirrels on the decks. But could see cormorants, herons out of the window on the lake. We were all very sad to leave.
