The skydeck had lovely views but the staircase access would not be suitable for young children or those with mobility issues. There are some chairs and tables but no shade.

    Beds very comfortable and the property is well equipped. A few extra mugs would be handy. It would benefit from some blinds in the kitchen diner as it got very warm this week. The skydeck had lovely views but the staircase access would not be suitable for young children or those with mobility issues. There are some chairs and tables but no shade. The property is a bit tired in places and would benefit from updating. 2 of the ensuites have baths with hand held shower attachment. These would be better with a proper shower over bath or just showers. These are suggestions for improvement they did not spoil our stay and we would return. Be aware there are a lot of flies around the water park. Unavoidable given the environment.

    Thank you for your feedback. We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay, we shall look at your suggestions and have already added a few extra mugs. We look forward to welcoming you back again soon. Best Wishes Manor Cottages Property Owner

The property

The Skydeck is located on Howells Mere overlooking the Site of Special Scientific Interest, and with stunning, far reaching views this is another high quality property in one of the most prestigious locations on the Cotswold Lakes.

Inside the owners have created an amazing, contemporary holiday home, which has clearly been developed with self catering holidays in mind.

On the first two floors are five good sized bedrooms most with terraces and views towards the water, leading to the top floor - an open plan living space with 360 degree views across the lakes and surrounding countryside.

Finally there is the 'skydeck' itself - the very top floor - an outdoor roof terrace with exceptional and interrupted views for miles.

Wow!

Additionally, the property, of course, is situated within a stroll of the multi-million pound Artspa facility - with its indoor and outdoor heated pools, which really complete the package This is an excellent self catering holiday home with the added flexibility of an on-site restaurant - we are quite sure you will agree!

All facilities are currently open at the estate for your use, but please note you MUST book a time slot prior to arrival to use most of the on site facilities.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £500.
