We are Barry and Jo and we have an amazing collection of Cotswold holiday lodges on Cotswold Water Park near the old Roman town of Cirencester with most of them dog friendly. We love to travel and a few years ago we spent 12 months travelling around the world ending up in New Zealand for Christmas and New Year and then working our way up to Hawaii and North, Central and South America. We still spend any spare time we have travelling to our favourite spots but we always love coming back to the place we call our home. We think we know what it takes to get a place right for our wonderful guests but we are always learning! We couldn’t do this without our fantastic team which is growing year by year. Unlike many of the larger companies selling holiday lets, we, and our team, know all of our properties intimately because we provide the full service from cleaning and hosting through to managing the hot tubs, the plants on the decking and even cleaning the windows!
