Serendipity at Cotswold Water Park Retreats offers a unique blend of modern luxury and traditional charm, making it an ideal destination for those seeking a memorable escape in the heart of the Cotswolds. This property, located on a private residential estate, exudes a Scandinavian style with its clean lines and minimalist design, harmoniously set against the backdrop of the picturesque Cotswold countryside.

The heart of Serendipity is its living spaces, which are thoughtfully designed to provide comfort and elegance. The ground floor features porcelain tiled flooring, adding a touch of sophistication. The modern, well-appointed kitchen includes a breakfast bar and stools, perfect for casual dining or enjoying a morning coffee. The utility room is conveniently equipped with a washing machine and tumble dryer.

Accommodation includes four spacious bedrooms, accommodating up to 8 guests. Bedrooms 1 and 2 boast king-sized beds, luxurious en-suites, and covered balconies with stunning views over the lake. Bedroom 3 offers flexible sleeping arrangements with two zip-locked single beds, which can be configured as a super king. Bedroom 4, located downstairs, is ideal for those preferring to avoid stairs and is complemented by a nearby WC and shower room. This can also be set up as one superking bed or as 2 singles.

The open-plan living and dining area, with seating for 10, is a highlight, offering a perfect setting to watch wildlife or enjoy time with family and friends. The lounge area features ample seating and a large wall-mounted smart TV, providing entertainment with Netflix, Amazon Prime, and more.

Outdoors, the property boasts sofas and chairs for alfresco dining or BBQs, partially sheltered by the balconies above. A standout feature is the Jacuzzi hydrotherapy spa, located on the deck, offering relaxation and spectacular sunset views over the lake.

For the colder months, central heating with underfloor heating throughout the ground floor ensures a cozy atmosphere. Pets are welcome, with a maximum of two dogs allowed for an additional fee, though they are not permitted in the bedrooms or on the furniture.

Guests have access to the entire house and all communal areas of the gated Waters Edge private estate. Local amenities include options for hiring fishing equipment, bikes, and SUPs, enhancing the outdoor experience.

In addition to the luxurious accommodations, Serendipity's location in the Cotswold Water Park area offers endless opportunities for exploration and adventure. Guests can enjoy non-motorised water sports and fishing with direct access to the water. The Cotswolds, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, is perfect for discovering stunning villages, country pubs, and fine dining in cosmopolitan towns. Activities such as cycling, water-skiing, horse riding, and hiking are just a few of the options available.

The house is fabulous. It’s immaculately presented. The facilities are all excellent. The attention to detail is great - expensive shower products and hand washes in all bathrooms, the kitchen is really well equipped with high quality utensils and equipment (not like some places who’ve stocked up on the cheap) There were fresh flowers in all rooms. The view over the lake and from the hot tub are fabulous. We even saw a Kingfisher land on the balustrade as we had coffee one morning. The communication from the hosts was brilliant with access to them via WhatsApp. Would definitely recommend.
