We're Lin & Charlie Millward and we launched Staycation Holidays in October 2015. Having spent over 15 years within the holiday and tourism sectors, our passion is to deliver a friendly, fresh approach and the very best levels of service to our guests. On a daily basis, we strive to deliver on all the details, to ensure that you, our guests, enjoy a home from home experience and ultimately a memorable break. Our properties suit a wide range of budgets and we regularly feature special discounts. Everyone on our team has an in-depth knowledge of our cottages along with the local area and events to help you get the best out of your break. We’re here to offer help and advice whenever you need it, 24/7 - we aim to respond within the hour (unless it's the middle of the night!). We also take a flexible approach to bookings so that you can book from as few as two nights, up to 28 nights and offer unique arrival days too. Thank you for visiting us! Lin & Charlie

Our chic New England-style lakeside retreat for 6 is located on Spring Lake, with prime position in the Cotswold Water Park. Aptly named, birdwatchers will be in their element – you may be lucky enough to spot woodpeckers & great crested grebes as well as the resident geese, ducks & swans. Twitchers Lodge has so much to offer, from the pretty clapper board-style exterior & fantastic water-front setting to the convenience of the location within steps of a family-friendly lakeside brasserie & gym. Our contemporary lake house has been stylishly renovated to mirror its waterfront setting, offering panoramic views from inside & out. Downstairs, its open plan living area has a modern kitchen that flows through to the sitting room & out onto the private deck via French doors. A perfect spot for alfresco dining or simply to sit back & enjoy lakeside life! Upstairs a large master bedroom awaits with a full length window overlooking the lake, allowing you the same stunning views. There are two further twin/double bedrooms with 5' zip and link beds. These are tight rooms and have limited storage. There is a family bathroom. Extra care has been taken for families, & you will find lots of special touches around the house if you are planning on taking the little ones.Please note: The holiday lodge is situated on a water ski lake and watersport sessions can start at 9am and end at 7.50pm during high season. The perfect location for a family activity holiday and adrenaline seekers, there is an international half-mile-long water-ski course, wakeboarding and inflatable rides to enjoy.

Within a minute’s stroll is the Lakeside Brassiere with a relaxed family restaurant & lakeside terrace. A fully air conditioned gym is located above the brasserie. Within 50 metres of the lodge is a large children’s play area. Lakeside Ski & Wake offer wakeboard & waterski lessons, as well as fun rides for all the family on their ringos & inflatables - irresistible to most families in the summer months, from beginners to experts. Next to the house is a small shingle beach area popular with little ones for paddling. From the deck you can feed swans & ducks that are very friendly. Located opposite Spring Lake is the South Cerney Outdoor Education Centre which offers sailing, canoeing, paddle boarding & courses. Bike hire, angling & the biggest inland beach in the UK are all within 2 miles. The lodge is ideally situated for exploring the towns & villages of the beautiful Cotswolds, including Stow-on-the-Wold, Bibury, Bourton-on-the-Water & Moreton-in-the-Marsh. Cirencester known as ‘The Capital of the Cotswolds’, is 4 miles. Appealing to children, the nearby Cotswold Wildlife Park, the numerous attractions at Bourton-on-the-Water & Cotswold Farm Park provide plentiful entertainment.
