Chalets en Somerford Keynes

“We stayed at Howells Mere for a birthday weekend with friends. We couldn't have asked for a better weekend, the weather, the property and the company were all fantastic. The house was lovely and spacious, well equipped and had fantastic views over the lake to watch the sunset. Orion holidays were fantastic throughout the entire process.”

“This is my second time in one of Orion Holidays properties. I visited with my son and three very young grandchildren. I love the views from the houses overlooking a pond or lake where there is lots of wildlife to observe. I like the green spaces between houses and it was very dog friendly when I brought my dog on the first visit. We had the indoor swimming pool included in our deal but unfortunately it was closed on the first day so we only managed to use it once. We went to the outdoor pool...

“We had a lovely 5 day break at this fabulous property overlooking Howells mere lake. The property was high end and very comfortable throughout. The kitchen was well stocked to meet all our needs. We enjoyed it that much that we booked to return in September. Highly recommended.”

“We stayed with family at 43 Minety Lake over the Easter weekend and had a fantastic experience from start to finish. The booking process with Orion was seamless and professional throughout. The house itself was spotless, beautifully presented, and fully equipped with everything needed for a perfect weekend away. It really felt like a home from home. We were also visited by Mark from Orion during our stay, who was extremely helpful in explaining everything. Any questions we had were answered...

“We have holidayed at this property for the last 3 years which in its self is an excellent recommendation. The house has always been well maintained with everything provided that you would want. Needless to say we will seriously consider making it number 4 next year!”

“Very pleased with the accommodation and the service provided by Orion .The cottage is well equipped and comfortable. Lower Mill is a lovely location for nature lovers and dog owners.”

“Fabulous break with a large family group over two’s properties. The outlook was lovely and the sunrises spectacular over the lake. The house was equiped with everything you could need and the amenities around the site were ample, including pub/cafe/ outdoor pool/ play area. Would definitely return. The only downside was others taking your allocated parking space.”

“The beds were very comfortable and equipment excellent. We particularly liked the hot tub with the wonderful view over the lake, the ducks and Swans!”

“Wonderful stay at Milly Cottage, Orion were great with the information provided before and after our stay. Would definitely recommend.”

“We stayed for a mid week break in June 2025's heatwave. It was lovely to be next to the lake in the heat. There were lakes where we could paddle to cool down and let the dog walk in (on lead). The property was properly dog friendly with throws on the settees expecting dogs to climb up and no area of the house out of bounds for the dog. There are many walks around the estate (which is a nature reserve) and also on the Thames path for the dog as well as the humans. The spa membership was...
