You'll have lake views from the whole width of the open-plan top floor in this three-storey lodge, set on an exclusive Cotswolds estate of lakes and woodlands. Five bedrooms sleep nine guests, so a large family, two families holidaying together or a group of friends all have space to spread out. The lodge sits directly on the water so you can paddle out instantly, and the site's spa is on hand for anyone who wants a slower afternoon between days outdoors.
