If you were any closer to the lake, you'd be swimming. This waterfront home offers a tranquil retreat unlike anywhere you've been before, complete with an outdoor hot tub, sleek interiors and idyllic views from every room. Better yet, your furry friends are allowed here – take them along as you explore the local countryside and storybook villages scattered around the Cotwolds. Make sure you swipe the master suite for yourself – this spacious room comes with a large balcony that overlooks the water. Not that you'd be worse off in the other two bedrooms, as each has its own en suite bathroom and inviting super-king bed. Your hosts have kept the decor minimal yet luxurious, with multiple sunlit spots to kick back and let the plush seating envelop you. Despite its serene surroundings, this lodge is just ten minutes from a choice of cafés, pubs and restaurants so you can indulge in some traditional British cuisine after a brisk country stroll. The Cotswold Water Park is (literally) on your doorstep, with plenty of water sports and activities nearby that will appeal to adults and children alike.
