Hello and welcome to our lake side holiday home, this is a new venture for 2020, so please bear with us whilst we gather reviews !!

The property is located in the heart of the Cotswold Water Parks, constructed in a New Hampshire style, two story, open plan on the ground floor with 3 bedrooms upstairs. The lodge has been completely refurbished with new modern bathrooms, kitchen and quality appliances.

Our large South facing private patio deck directly overlooks the lake, perfect for relaxing :)

COVID CLEANING... please be assured we take the health and well-being of our guests with upmost importance, that is why we have gone beyond the increased cleaning/santising regime proposed by Airbnb and have undertaken to 'dry fog' the entire property between lets with an anti viral biocide, a similar process undertaken by airlines, schools, hospitals and large Hotel chains, to ensure all surfaces, including textile surfaces, sofas, carpets, etc receive anti viral treatment................

We invite all to the lodge, to enjoy an abundance of leisure activities right on your doorstep, surrounded by breathtaking scenery and at the end of the day, when you are ready to come back to your lodge, you will find all the facilities you would expect of a modern rental property .

The open plan ground floor has a newly fitted modern kitchen, fully fitted with quality AEG appliances including oven and hob, fridge freezer, washing machine dishwasher and microwave. The kitchen is very well equipped for a comfortable self-catering holiday.

The large open plan lounge/diner has almost an entire wall of double glazed panes offering uninterrupted views out onto the lake with large patio doors leading onto a large private deck directly overlooking the lake. Both inside and outside living areas comfortably accommodate 6 adults, with outdoor furniture for alfresco drinks and meals. There is a flat screen 50" ‘Smart’ TV with wireless internet connection for Netflix etc.

Recently fitted and just in time for xmas is an eco friendly wood burning pellet stove, with electronic ignition and self cleaning function (no dirty hands !) and self maintaining thermostatic temperature control to ensure a comfortable living space.
