Hello, I'm Nina, I'm one of the owners of Claire Anthony Homes, thanks for checking out our bio and considering one of our holiday rentals for your stay. We are a small family run company which started with one property and a love of renovation and design. We wanted to share our family holiday house with others and were amazed by the feedback and the number of holidays we were able to host. Especially coming out of lockdown we were able to host so many family reunions and UK staycations. Managing our one property very quickly grew to helping others manage their own properties, and now we have a high-quality selection of homes across the UK, and every month we seem to be growing. Our focus is always ensuring you have the most enjoyable and hassle-free trip. Our properties are in some of our favourite places, so we have loads of local recommendations for you. We are based in Yorkshire and Glasgow, but we have local teams by each of our properties who are all great and more than happy to help should you need it! If you would like to know anything about any of the holiday lets, we have before booking then please reach out. We hope to be hosting you very soon!

A cosy three-bedroom cottage that boasts character yet has all the contemporary features for a home-from-home experience, overlooking the start of the River Thames (albeit rather shallow!). Toad Hall is not only well equipped, featuring a Smart TV, WIFI, and a log burner, it also has access to amazing on-site facilities situated on the 450-acre nature reserve in the Cotswold’s Water Park, making it a perfect family getaway.

The outdoor decking area is fully enclosed and overlooks the start of the River Thames. Although it looks like a small stream running through the Estate, it's unbelievable to think this river expands massively into the iconic river running through the centre of London. The Thames Trail is a public path that follows the River Thames from the very start, all the way into London (Woolwich), although it is 185 miles long, there are plenty of country pubs and villages along the way, should you wish to walk a small proportion of it. There is ample seating area on the decking area with 2 outdoor chairs and a coffee table, and an outdoor dining table with chairs that comfortably seat 4 people. The owner has provided a BBQ, which is a great addition during the summer months, listening to the trickling of the stream and the local wildlife. Please note the Lower Mill Estate is a nature reserve and has strict rules about noise and loud parties. Loud noise is not allowed on the estate after 10 pm and this is enforced by security. Stag and Hen parties are not allowed, along with contractor bookings. Estate facilities are complementary but please note they are separate entities and not owned or managed by the owner. This means the owner is not responsible or liable if the Estate facilities are closed or restricted or unavailable during your stay. You can book the tennis courts by adding your name to the clipboard by the court. Toad Hall is close to the outdoor pool, sauna, kids play areas, tennis courts and an onsite restaurant and pizza shack. Additional note: Lake use is not permitted when water temperatures fall below 12°C. Somerford Lagoon is also closed from 1 Oct to 31 Mar (SSSI for overwintering birds). Fishing is unaffected.
