Easy breezy lakeside living awaits at this charming clapboard lodge retreat, nestled in one of Cotswolds Water Park's most exclusive developments. The setting couldn't be more idyllic, amidst over 150 clear-water lakes and surrounded by acres of woodlands and meadows. Set sail onto the waters – there is every type of boat imaginable to rent. Hop on a bike to explore the many circular scenic routes. Or, for something more gentile, a paddle at the nearby beach (the UK's largest inland beach, don't you know) or spa treatment at the shared on-site health club is just the ticket. When thoughts turn to food, cooking is a joy in the sleek, modern kitchen with a view of the lake. And there's a barbecue on the deck that's prime for long summer evening alfresco mealtimes, followed by a soak in the hot tub. Fancy a night off cooking? Then dial in a private chef for an evening of fine dining. Mosey down to the onsite Lakeside Brasserie (within walking distance). Or, just a smidge further, the local pubs in the neighbouring village of South Cerney. It's all as easy as it sounds.
