New Year Breaks in the Cotswolds

Swap the stress of hosting at home for something truly special with a New Year break at the Cotswold Lakes.

Our lakeside holiday homes sleep between 4 and 11 guests, with open-plan living areas that are ideal for sharing meals, playing games and counting down to midnight together. For bigger groups, we can even arrange neighbouring properties so your whole group can be close by.

Set in the heart of the Cotswold lakes our holiday homes are surrounded by 42 square miles of lakes, wetlands and countryside. Spend the day walking scenic trails, spotting wildlife or simply enjoying the peace of nature before returning to your cosy home to toast the year ahead in front of a roaring log burner.

Whether it’s family coming together from different parts of the country or a group of friends planning a memorable New Year’s Eve escape, our New Year breaks in the Cotswold Lakes offer space, comfort and the perfect backdrop to start the year the right way.

A Great Place to Stay for a Weekend in the Cotswolds

My family and I have recently staid at 5 Waters Edge Cotswold Water Park. The lodge was clean and kitchen fully stocked with utensils. The decor was good for a rental property as sometimes rentals can look tired, Our stay was comfortable no complaints. Orion helped us with any requests I would use them again. Thank you.

Great Mid Week Break 5*

Accommodation was very clean and well equipped. The site had a decent restaurant and a fabulous spa. Going mid week and out of season meant we got the swimming pool to ourselves! Facilities like tennis courts were well maintained. We headed out to see some local towns and villages. Loved Cirencester – great shopping with many independent shops.
Orion were easy to work with so booking, arrival and departure were seamless.

We booked the property for a 3 night family get together and it proved to be the perfect choice. We were 7 adults and 2 children and the property provided everything we needed in spacious surroundings with a great outlook over the lake. We would definitely return to this property.

An Amazing Lodge - 5*

What can we say? We have stayed at Isis lake for at least 15 times and this must be the best lodge we’ve stayed in. Fantastic location, super clean and everything you could need for a break/holiday.

Beautiful House for a Family Weekend - 4.8*

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.

Fantastic accommodation, great surroundings, ideal location for exploring the cotswolds & doing water sports on the surrounding lakes. We really enjoyed the outdoor pool & tennis courts. The staff were really helpful every step of the way leading up to & during our stay. They even let us check in 3hrs early. I would definitely recommend.

Excellent Accommodation - 5*

We visited for a family birthday. There were 5 adults and 2 children and there was plenty of room. Everything was great. The location on site was perfect, the layout was great. Lots of little extras such as tennis equipment were a nice touch. Hot tub was great too, was checked daily while we were there. Would definitely recommend.

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
