Mirrors Edge

Mirror’s Edge, perched on the private Lower Mill Estate in Somerford Keynes, is a stunning lakeside retreat where family and friends can relax and unwind together. With panoramic lake views, open-plan living and four beautifully appointed bedrooms, this design-led lodge invites you to slow down and soak up every moment. Spend days exploring your beautiful surroundings before sinking into the bubbling hot tub as the sun sets over the still water, glass in hand, surrounded by the quiet hum of nature and the gentle laughter of friends.

Days here unfold at your own pace. Start with a quiet coffee on the deck as morning mist curls across the lake. Pull on a robe, ease into the hot tub, and let the day gently begin. Paddleboard straight from your deck or take the kayak out for a loop around the water. When it’s time to refuel, fire up the Kamado Joe BBQ or head inside to the fully equipped kitchen, where everything’s ready for easy, sociable cooking.

The interior is effortlessly stylish, with open spaces, soft tones and modern comforts. The kitchen, dining and lounge flow as one, with floor-to-ceiling windows framing the ever-changing lake views. Gather round the table for social dinners, or curl up on the sofa with a film and the Sonos soundbar filling the space with sound. Underfloor heating keeps things cosy on cooler nights, and fast WiFi means you can check in when you need – and switch off when you don’t.

When night falls, the four bedrooms offer calm, comfortable spaces to retreat to, including two with sleek ensuite bathrooms. Luxurious touches like fluffy towels, Elemis toiletries and thoughtful extras – hairdryers, a Nespresso machine and even an EV charger – make every detail feel considered.

Beyond the lodge, the estate is yours to explore. Meander along trails, dive into wild swimming spots or discover nearby Cotswold gems like Cirencester, Bibury and Bourton-on-the-Water. Mirror’s Edge is dog-friendly too, so no one gets left behind.
