Take a look at the Cotswolds in the UK and you’ll find quaint village scenes and old world charm everywhere. The area makes for a perfect vacation destination and it’s good to see that it is changing to meet the needs of future markets. The Cotswolds provides great holiday options with a backdrop of spectacular countryside, and the great outdoors with wildlife in abundance. We have always been loyal to taking holidays in the UK, with the Cotswolds being a firm favorite. We choose to stay in traditional Cotswolds cottage rental accommodation, and in truth, have never been disappointed with what we’ve found. Last year we joined our daughter and her family in a modern-designed lodge, with stunning lakeside views. As our own taste is fairly traditional, it’s not a place we would usually consider - however we were very pleasantly surprised.
Nature and Wildlife in Abundance
It was ideal for our family unit, with lots of space for our grandchildren to play and enjoy themselves. Situated just by the Lower Mill Estate, which is teeming with a wide range of wildlife such as butterflies, wild orchids, badgers, beavers, otters, deer; kingfishers, nightingales, egrets and owls, there was much to see and do. Short walks to explore through woodlands and meadows, and secret tracks to discover beside streams and lakes, the whole trip seemed like a mini-adventure for the younger ones.
Outstanding Facilities in The Cotswolds
There’s a spa area too and a slate-lined pool to take a dip in – and a convenient little farm shop where you can get those last minute essentials. So, when it comes to the practical things, you can pick up locally sourced seasonal produce and if you arrive late at night or haven’t the time to do the shopping, arrangements can be made for a box of fresh local vegetables and meat to be delivered to your door. Brilliant facilities, especially for meeting the needs of the younger professional couple or larger family unit that’s looking for more space than an old Cottage would allow. Pretty as they are, quaint pubs really are not a ‘family’ friendly option to stay in either.
Looking to the Future - The Cotswolds
Our UK holiday market hasn’t grabbed the attention of our youngsters (I mean the 18-35 year olds) for many decades. I don’t believe that many have ever even considered the UK to take a holiday. As air fuel prices and airport taxes increase year on year, the familiar budget flights will disappear from view. Our European resorts will feel the decline, and our UK destinations will hopefully reap the benefits of a new generation of UK holidaymakers looking for affordable short breaks away. The unique combination of a truly idyllic location, spectacular modernist architecture and an award winning world class on site spa facility, all makes for the perfect holiday destination. The Cotswolds is a gem of a place to visit and never fails to impress. It’s good to see a greater variety of modern, self-catering accommodation in the Cotswolds – that’s kept function and quality in mind, and not compromised on location.
