Tucked into a gated, secluded corner of a private lakeside estate, this three-storey lodge looks out across the water and sleeps eight in four bedrooms, giving two families sharing or a group of friends room to spread out. The estate sits within a wider reserve of lakes and waterways where otters, dormice and other wildlife live. Inside, white walls, wooden floors and modern furnishings keep things calm and uncluttered, and the first-floor living space enjoys views of the lake while you cook and eat. Bedrooms are split between the ground floor and the top storey, which works well for group holidays.
**Surrounding area**
- Cotswold Country Park and Beach (1 mile) has the largest inland beach in the UK, so buckets and spades are worth packing.
- Cirencester (6 miles) is a good half-day out for its variety of shops and historic streets.
- Just beyond the estate is a traditional village pub (1 mile).
**Living space**
- The open-plan living area takes up the whole first floor, with soft seating and a TV at one end and a wood burner for cooler evenings.
- A dining table sits between the seating area and the kitchen.
- The kitchen has open shelving and a breakfast bar for four, plus an oven, a gas hob, a fridge and a freezer.
- A snug tucked off the kitchen holds a second TV along with books and games for younger guests.
**Bedrooms and bathrooms**
- Three bedrooms are on the ground floor: two doubles and a room with bunk beds.
- The bunk room and one of the doubles have sliding, glazed doors opening onto the rear deck.
- A Jack and Jill bathroom with a shower over the bath and WC connects the bunk room to the second double.
- A separate shower room with WC also serves the ground floor.
- The top-floor double has ample storage and an en-suite shower room with WC.
**Outdoor space and on-site facilities**
- Sliding doors from the kitchen lead onto a sheltered, decked balcony with furniture for lounging and for eating outside.
- The smaller rear balcony off the lounge has a bistro set, with spiral stairs down to the ground-floor deck.
- That lower deck is open rather than enclosed, and has furniture and a BBQ.
- Private parking for one car is available at the lodge, with additional spaces in the main site car park.
- A shop, a bar and a restaurant are on site, alongside the Leisure and Wellness Club with indoor and outdoor pools, a gym, a steam room and a sauna.

- Bike and equipment hire, soft play, guided walks, yoga, beauty treatments, cocktail making and laser clay shooting or archery at a neighbouring site can be booked for an extra charge.
**Notable features and highlights**
- Floor-to-ceiling windows connect the lake and surrounding trees with the interiors.
- Vaulted ceilings and double-height spaces make the rooms feel bright and airy.
- Sofas on the mezzanine look down over the lounge and have the best lake views in the lodge.

With bedrooms split over two floors and shared space that fits everyone at once, the lodge works for two households holidaying together, for grandparents joining parents and children, or for eight friends. Wildlife spotters, keen swimmers and children with energy to burn can fill their days without leaving the estate.
