Lakeside Reflection South Cerney, Gloucestershire

Holiday Rental Description

Carve out some time for quiet reflection and relaxation at this pretty lakeside hideaway, set in one of the Cotswolds Water Park's most exclusive and award-winning developments.

With water sports on tap upon the 114-acre sailing lake right outside, this lodge is a hit with kids and big kids alike. Moor at your private jetty – canoes, paddleboards, and kayaks are all available for hire. But if you'd rather stay on dry land, a spot of coarse fishing from your jetty might suit. Hop on a bike to explore the paths weaving through the surrounding 150 lakes (yes, really), or book a round of tennis on the shared courts. And when the sun shines, pack up your bucket and spades for a morning at the UK's largest inland beach with a purpose-built toddler paddling and playground area – it's just a five-minute drive away.

When tummies start to rumble, it's back to the lodge to rustle up dinner in the sleek, modern kitchen. Flooded with natural daylight thanks to the floor-to-ceiling glass windows, cooking is a joy in the free-flowing, open-plan living and dining space. Or keep things easy and mooch over to the nearby village pubs in South Cerney, just a short drive away, or even closer, the brasserie on neighbouring Spring Lake. The rest of the evening is yours to soak up the lake views from your private hot tub – the sunsets are spell-bounding, and just wait until the stars come out to say hello.
