Overlooking the lake from a secluded position in a gated part of the private estate, this is a spacious retreat for up to eight guests looking for a combination of natural tranquillity and outdoor adventures. Spend days kayaking, paddleboarding, cycling and fishing among the lakes, waterways and wider nature reserve, and enjoying the swimming pools, tennis courts or gym, then relaxing with a treatment at the spa or a meal at the on-site restaurant. Children will love the soft play, treasure trail, arts and crafts activities and sports facilities, while anyone who loves wildlife will want to try to spot the otters, dormice and other species that live in this idyllic landscape. Pack your buckets and spades and head to the UK’s largest inland beach at the Cotswold Country Park and Beach, just a mile away, or head to Cirencester (6 miles) to explore pretty streets and enticing shops.
This stunning property, set over three storeys, is beautifully styled, with white walls, wooden floors and chic modern furnishings. Boasting some vaulted ceilings and double-height spaces, it feels light, bright and generously sized, offering a tranquil escape for everyone. On the ground floor you’ll find three bedrooms: a double and a bunk-bed room, both of which have sliding, glazed doors directly to the back decking, and a further double. The bunk-bed room shares a Jack and Jill bathroom with the second double room, and there’s also a family shower room on this level. On the first floor sits the spectacular, open-plan living space, which features a wood burner, soft seating and a TV at one end, looking out over the lake. The dining table is adjacent, and beyond is the chic kitchen, which includes stylish open shelving and a breakfast bar for four. A snug tucked off the kitchen is home to a second TV as well as books and games to keep little ones amused. Head up to the second floor, where a fabulous double bedroom features ample storage and an en-suite shower room – a calm hideaway after a busy day. Step out of the bedroom onto the mezzanine, where comfortable sofas overlook the lounge area and enjoy the best views of the lake in the whole property.
Choose from several gorgeous outside spaces in which to enjoy the fresh air. From the kitchen, sliding doors open onto a sheltered, decked front balcony where you can sink into soft seating or dine alfresco. The smaller, rear balcony from the lounge has a bistro set and spiral stairs leading down to the ground-floor deck (also accessed from two bedrooms). In this delightful spot you’ll find more furniture, ready for long afternoons in the sunshine and BBQ under the stars. For convenience, you’ll have parking for one car at the property, with further parking in the main car park.
