About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Lake House

๐—ฆ๐˜‚๐—บ๐—บ๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐˜†:

Lake House has that familiar, home-from-home comfort, only with a far better view thanks to the floor to ceiling windows. Whether youโ€™re here with family, a group of your closest, or a couple of enthusiastic four-legged friends, everyone will quickly find their favourite spot to settle in.

๐—ง๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐—ฆ๐—ฝ๐—ฎ๐—ฐ๐—ฒ:

Lake House sleeps six across three bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with a balcony overlooking the water. The open-plan ground floor brings the kitchen, dining and living spaces together, making it easy for groups to settle in. Thereโ€™s a Smart TV, Wi-Fi and a bright, sociable layout designed for relaxed stays.

๐—š๐˜‚๐—ฒ๐˜€๐˜ ๐—”๐—ฐ๐—ฐ๐—ฒ๐˜€๐˜€:

Youโ€™ll have full use of the lodge, the enclosed lakefront decking, the private hot tub, the outdoor dining area and the BBQ. The decking has direct access to the lake, and private parking is right outside the property.

Check in from 3PM and check out by 10AM.

You can arrive at your own pace with self check-in via key box, just give us a call if you have any issues.

Set within the beautiful Cotswold Lakes, youโ€™re surrounded by over 180 lakes, woodland trails and quiet village lanes. The landscape feels open, green and peaceful in every direction. It's the perfect space to be active and explore, ideal for cycling, paddle-boarding, or just walking and enjoying the abundant wildlife and fresh air.

South Cerney is only a few minutes away and is one of the areaโ€™s most established villages. Think traditional stone cottages, small, friendly shops, lovely pubs and delightful cafรฉs. Tree-lined lanes and village greens all lead directly towards scenic lakeside routes, so natureโ€™s nearby even when youโ€™re shopping.

Cirencester is about 10-15 minutes by car and offers boutique shopping, restaurants, markets, and a rich sense of history. Kemble Station is also close, with direct trains into London, making this spot practical for quick weekend visits as well as longer stays.

๐—š๐—ฒ๐˜๐˜๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด ๐—”๐—ฟ๐—ผ๐˜‚๐—ป๐—ฑ:

A car is ideal for exploring the surrounding villages and lakes. That said, Kemble Station (direct trains from London) is just 7 miles away, and the 51 bus runs from the end of the lane to Cirencester and Swindon. Once you arrive, walking and cycling are great ways to enjoy the peaceful landscape.

๐—ข๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ๐—ฟ ๐—ง๐—ต๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด๐˜€ ๐˜๐—ผ ๐—ก๐—ผ๐˜๐—ฒ:

The house is pet friendly. Two well-behaved dogs are welcome (ยฃ35 per dog). A travel cot and high chair are provided. Paddleboard hire is available on request, and decoration services can be arranged for special occasions.

Quiet hours run from 10:30PM to 8AM, and we ask guests to respect the peaceful setting: No parties, and no smoking indoors.

๐—œ๐—ป๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐—ฎ๐—ฐ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ป ๐—ช๐—ถ๐˜๐—ต ๐—š๐˜‚๐—ฒ๐˜€๐˜๐˜€:

Everybody finds peace in a different way, and thatโ€™s how it should be. From the moment you book, you decide the pace, and weโ€™ll be there to help you plan, and create moments that really matter. Itโ€™s that little extra layer of support we offer to make sure everything runs smoothly. Thoughtful service, that never gets in the way of a good moment.

Whether that means a slow morning with a fresh pot of tea and a long soak, or a day out exploring neighbourhoods and nature - weโ€™ll guide you, so it all unfolds just the way youโ€™ve pictured it.

Early July midweek break

We booked a 3 night breakand were very pleased with Lake House. It was very well appointed and the process from booking to arrival was easy. The lakeside location was perfect and I even caught a few fish! Overall a most enjoyable experience.

Relaxing and making memories

What a fabulous place, the view when you walk through the door for the first time is amazing . The place was spotless and well suited to our family having our elderly parents with us and needed a ground floor bedroom. There was nothing that wasnโ€™t thought of and the extra welcome touches were much appreciated. We totally relaxed especially in the hot tub at the end of every day. Would definitely come back to Lake house.

Family break in The Cotswolds

The house is located in a fantastic position overlooking a peaceful lake. We were treated to families of ducks, geese and swans swimming up to the house. Nice touch on arrival with a cake, prosecco, tea/coffee & milk. Plenty of space for 3 couples and a dog. Close to activity centres but at same time is distant enough for peace and quiet. All in all a great break in wonderful location and hoping to be back in 2025

Lovely stay,catching up with family

We have stayed in a few different of the lodges here, and just like our previous stays, we had a lovely time. The Prosecco and cake on arrival is a lovely touch. The only downside was that they are building new homes around, so when you look out to the lake on your decking you see a construction site, and also looking out the back window there is building there too, they also begin working from 8am so you hear general work noise as soon as you wake up. Also, the hot tub is situated on right side of the decking which felt slightly public, with cars going past, people walking around and as well as being overlooked by workmen, it was quite uncomfortable being in there especially in the day time. Apart from that the stay was lovely, this place is very special to us, a place that we can spend time together as a family and we love the surrounding areas.
