This superb eight-person lodge with a private hot tub sits in the heart of the Cotswolds Lakes. Surrounded by freshwater lakes and idyllic woodland, it’s perfect for families and groups who want to unwind in nature. And it even has a wealth of things to do without leaving the grounds. Spend a day making the most of the leisure facilities and water sports, or hop in the car and drive to discover the independent shops and ancient Roman history of Cirencester (6.5 miles). Further afield, wander beside the River Windrush in Bourton-on-the-Water, browse around Tetbury, or follow the woodland trails beneath the trees at Westonbirt Arboretum (all within 23 miles). For a long day out, Cotswold Farm Park (27 miles) has goats and donkeys that you can feed, while the Cotswold Sculpture Gardens are only 1 mile away, offering art from around the world.
Step inside this tastefully designed holiday haven, where you’ll discover an open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner that’s filled with light from the floor-to-ceiling doors and snuggly from the central wood burner. Comfortable sofas are strategically placed around the TV and lakeside views, while a solid wooden table with seats and a bench occupies a sociable space behind. The kitchen is elegantly presented and kitted out with all the appliances you’ll need to make the most of your time at this stylish home, and there’s even a drinks cabinet for dipping into when the time comes. When day turns to night, find four superb bedrooms to choose between. The first is a single bedroom on the ground floor, which conveniently can be made into a double upon request, and is accompanied by a nearby WC. Upstairs are the three beautifully designed bedrooms. There’s a double bedroom with an en-suite shower room and gorgeous views from the furnished balcony, while down the hall are a second double bedroom and a twin bedroom. There is also a bathroom here with a bath and WC.
This special property has a roof terrace that’s accessible from the first floor. Carry up your morning coffee and enjoy the views over Minety Lake as you dip into the hot tub and completely unwind. There’s also seating up here and a BBQ, making it easy to socialise and dine with family and friends. Private parking for two cars is available outside the property, with additional parking in the main car park. Make use of the endless on-site facilities, whether you’re using the outdoor or indoor swimming pool, fitness room, tennis court, sauna, spa, restaurant, or soft play. There’s also an on-site shop for groceries and a pub for evenings out.
