Family and Pet Friendly Holiday Properties at Windrush Lake

Set beside three tranquil, reed-fringed lakes, these charming New England–inspired holiday cottages at Windrush Lake sit in the heart of the Cotswold Lakes, surrounded by unspoilt natural beauty.

Perfect for families and dog owners alike, Windrush and Isis Lakes share wide, open green spaces with beautifully maintained gardens and a fantastic choice of activities both within the park and just moments away. The mix of classic Cotswold scenery with a hint of American New England style creates a Cotswolds holiday experience that feels both refreshingly different and wonderfully familiar.

A very relaxing stay with everything you could think of. 5.0*

The location was superb and the house was more than we hoped for. The cleanliness was great and the house had everything we could want and more. We did try and think of something that was not there and we couldn’t, loved the fact that they even had a slow cooker. The hot tub was a lovely thing to have and the fact that extra robes were provided for this was fab. Lovely outside seating – even a cloth was provided for wiping down. It was also nice that DVD’s, games and books were there to use.

Orion were excellent, friendly staff and regular communication. The site was very secure and made us feel very safe. It was lovely to walk around, clean and the communal areas were well kept.

We will definitely be going back.

Really Lovely House - 5*

Stayed here with a group of friends. Really comfortable house, great outside space, well equipped. We’ve stayed at several different properties around the Cotswold Lakes and would definitely choose to return to this one.

Perfect Place to Relax & Recharge - 5*

We stayed here for a weekend as a group of friends and it was absolutely perfect. The lake setting is so beautiful and the house itself was comfortable, beautifully decorated and well equipped with everything we needed. We loved spending time in the hot tub, relaxing in the huge kitchen and playing games in the living room, and there are lots of lovely walks from the house to places to eat around the local lakes. Can’t recommend the house highly enough- we can’t wait to come back!

Clean and Spacious - 5*

We stayed at 88 Windrush Lake. The property was clean and spacious for two families. We had a super time enjoying the beauty of the surroundings. Well done Orion you did us proud.

A Family Celebration - 4.8*

We had a lovely few days despite some damp weather. The hot tub was a hit as was the house. Well equipped for every eventuality the kitchen enabled us to prepare food for 10 people with ease.
Bedrooms were comfortable and each had an en suite which was great for our large party.

Peaceful Break with Friends

We spent a long weekend here with a group of 8 and it was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. The house was spacious enough that no one felt cramped, yet cozy enough to feel like we were all together. Bedrooms were comfortable, the kitchen was fully equipped (we made a big breakfast each morning without running out of pans or plates), and there were plenty of areas to relax, both indoors and out.

The location was unbeatable — right on the edge of the lake, with stunning views from sunrise to sunset. We spent the days kayaking, paddle boarding and just sitting by the water with a coffee or a glass of wine. In the evenings, we gathered around the hot tub, grilled dinner, and watched the stars.

What really made it special was how peaceful and private it felt. Even with a large group, there was room for quiet moments — a morning walk along, reading on the deck, or just listening to the water.

If you’re looking for a place to unwind, laugh, and enjoy nature with a group of friends or family, this is the perfect spot. We’re already talking about coming back next year!

Our Third Visit 5*

This is our third visit to 66 Windrush Sunkissed lodge and it was still as good as ever. Everything you would need for a week away is catered for. The south facing decking area is great to sit out on and the hot tub is an extra bonus. It is a great base to visit lots of beautiful places and nearby pubs. Staff at Orion were again extremely helpful, making our stay that even more relaxing any enjoyable.We hope to again return next year. Thanks to Orion and the owners of the Lodge.

Fabulous Property - 5*

Had a wonderful stay, the property was very clean. well kept and kitted out. We loved the view from the decking area, the hot tub and the location. The downstairs space was great for our party of 6 and parking was easy and (on our visit) plentiful which cannot be said for some other properties in the wider area. Orion were on hand to support throughout our stay and were also superb. I cannot rate the property and Orion highly enough.

Ladies weekend break - 5*

A bunch of good friends from our village had a fabulous weekend away. We were all really impressed with how well equipped the house was. We had a fabulous relaxing break and enjoyed the local amenities and the hot tub. Orion’s customer service was excellent when the fridge/freezer stopped working and they sourced temporary alternatives.

Fabulous Location for a Celebratory Weekend - 5*

Excellent location & beautiful accommodation. Had a celebration for my mother’s 80th birthday. Three generations stayed at the house and had a lovely time. House is suitable for 8 adults plus two teenager’s in bunk beds. Beautiful views over the lake & peaceful location. We were lucky that the weather was stunning for April too. So the hot tub was used!

Family Mini Break - 5*

From the moment we booked, the professionalism of Orion holidays was amazing. Just before we arrived we were told our holiday home was ready well in advance of the expected arrival time, which was fabulous.  My son in laws and grandson enjoyed the fishing on Isis lake. There was plenty to do for the young and not so young. There was lots of information in the house about walks in the area, which we did every day. The cleanliness and equipment in the house felt like home from home. We will definitely return very soon. Would most definitely recommend 😀😀

lovely short stay - 4.8*

Lovely stay at puffin lodge. It’s on a lake you can stand up paddle on which is great. You can’t do that on all lakes (eg Spring lake) so worth checking.

Fab Weekend - 5*

A recent stay here was amazing! Although the weather played a crucial point. Orion holidays was very easy to book with and great communication.

The accommodation met with all our needs which was for four couples and each had on suit facilities which were a must. The house had everything we required, lovely views all round and added benefit of jacuzzi. We will be coming back and happy to book through Orion again. Thank you

Christmas at Windrush 66 - 5*

I would highly recommend Orion holidays and 66 Windrush where we stayed . Everything was spot on . Very clean and an absolutely lovely house with everything we needed for our stay , there was nothing we needed to ask for.

As we were there between Christmas and new year it was so nice that there was a christmas tree and other festive decorations to welcome us , it really felt like , home from home . I would have no hesitation in booking this house again it was so nice .
