Head down to the water for a paddle, a cast or a quiet moment in the reeds. Afternoons call for long lunches on the deck, games in the park, or a trip to the spa.

With access to a shared on-site spa, swimming pools, and restaurant, this lakeside home is a destination in itself. The facilities are just a minute’s walk away and when you’re not enjoying a sauna or workout in the gym, you can savour the peace and quiet from your private deck, overlooking a small lake. We love the panoramic windows here which make the most of the water views, and with table football and a communal outdoor play area, kids are well catered for too. While you’d be forgiven for not wanting to leave the estate, if you do decide to venture out you'll discover lots of traditional Cotswold villages just a short drive away.

Families will love it here, with bunk beds and a playroom keeping younger guests busy. The home's location in the Lower Mill Estate means you'll have access to two shared heated swimming pools, playgrounds, soft play, tennis courts, a 3G multi-use games area, and a spa (we recommend booking treatments in advance). Further afield, nearby Cirencester is dotted with historic pubs and charming country boutiques and is just twenty minutes by car. Or for something a little nearer, you'll find the picturesque swimming lagoons and sandy beaches of Cotswolds Country Park are just a five-minute drive away.

The home itself is bright, cosy and perfectly embodies that charming coastal feeling. In the mornings, sip your coffee on the sunny deck, watching as the trout jump in the lake and listening to the sound of cascading water fountain. Home chefs will love cooking up a storm in the fully-equipped kitchen, preparing delicious family dinner to share around the rustic dining table. End the evening snuggled up on the sofa with the electric fire burning, watching a family-favourite film on the smart TV. When you're in the mood for a change of scenery, Cirencester is a ten-minute drive away and has a wealth of shops and restaurants. Or just hop in the car and go for a drive, exploring the pretty villages in the Cotswolds.

Hot Tub

Set on the banks of Windrush Lake, this waterside lodge is the perfect retreat. Nestled within the Cotswold Water Park, there's an abundance of activities to try and places to explore – when you're not just hanging out on your waterside deck, that is. The home is spread across three floors, so every family member can seek out their own space to unwind and find a bit of solitude, and there's a homely feel to the place. Spend your days enjoying water sports on the lake, fishing from your garden, horse riding or walking the many lush trails. If that's not enough, the on-site attractions should offer something for everyone with tennis courts, croquet and football goals. Even if you're unlucky with the weather, the home has all sorts of streaming options so you can watch your favourite films, and there are board games and children's toys for a more low tech approach to rainy day entertainment. As the day winds to a close, light up the barbecue and enjoy an alfresco family dinner overlooking the water before hopping into that private hot tub.

Turret Lodge

Set within a holiday park in the Cotswolds, this home is perfect for families looking for ample entertainment and maximum relaxation.

It’s worth noting the rooms are basic, but it is family-friendly with plenty to explore in the surroundings. Take advantage of the shared tennis courts, hire bikes and visit nearby Cirencester and Bibury – both just a short drive away. 


Lake of Blue

Sitting next to a babbling stream, this cottage-style home has an idyllic setting. Unwind on the terrace or balcony and listen to the sound of the water and the birds in the trees. Or on cooler days, relax by the log burner in the traditionally decorated living room. The resort has an excellent range of communal facilities to enjoy, including an outdoor pool, tennis courts, and the Activity Hub where you can hire paddle boards and canoes. The estate’s restaurant and award-winning spa are also within a five-minute walk, so there’s something for everyone here.


Rivers & Lakes

Lakeside living awaits at this contemporary, pet-friendly lodge perched beside the banks of Howells Mere Lagoon in the heart of the Cotswold's Water Park. Part of an exclusive holiday estate, shared perks include eight lakes for water sports, three swimming pools, an award-winning spa, and an on-site restaurant. After a little more seclusion? There are hundreds of acres of green space to explore. Then head back home to the privacy of the lodge's two decked terraces or impressive atrium living room with a log burner. The views of the lake are sensational wherever you choose to be.

Butterflies in the Blue

Set within the peaceful Lower Mill Estate, this modern two-bedroom apartment offers lakeside living at its finest.

You can dive into one of the heated pools, try your hand at tennis, or hire a kayak for a tranquil paddle across the lake. Thoughtfully designed for comfort and relaxation, this home is the perfect base to disconnect, recharge and embrace the best of the Cotswolds countryside and waterside lifestyle.

Swillbrook Lake

Desk / Workplace

Located in the charming market town of Cirencester, this Grade II listed cottage is the perfect base for a couple or close-knit group of friends looking to spend some time in the capital of the Cotswolds. Inside, it’s modern yet characterful – we loved the original timber beams, log-burning stove and charming spiral staircase that leads to the cosy second bedroom. Should you have some work to attend to, there’s an office space for you to set up your laptop. 

Wake up with a coffee in the quiet living space before putting together a tasty breakfast in the farmhouse-style kitchen. If the weather is on your side, spill out into the garden and finish cups of tea at the bistro set in the warm sunshine. 

Pull on your comfiest shoes and get to know your surroundings. You’re a seven-minute walk from the indie shops that cluster around Market Place and five minutes from the Barton Lane entrance of Cirencester Park – an excellent place to stop for a picnic. Take a dip in the spring-fed, open-air pool in the heights of the summer, follow bridleways that snake through the unspoilt countryside or jump in the car and spend an afternoon in pretty Bibury, a fifteen-minute drive away.

Little Bunkers

Record Player

Sun Loungers / Beach Chairs

This cute-as-a-button cottage in the beautiful village of Poulton is the ultimate Cotswolds hideaway. Think honey-brown stone walls with an A-frame doorway, and a private garden bursting with bloom fit for the Chelsea Flower Show. Spend sunny days gathered together on the lawn, listening to birds sing and breathing in the fresh and flowery scent of the cottage garden.

Inside, it’s an ode to cottage-core living, with wooden beams running along low ceilings and the old stone bread oven in the living room harking back to the cottage's 400-year history. Plush sofas are made all the more cosy with Angora throws, and there’s a small selection of books at the ready for those quieter moments. In the dine-in kitchen, a wood-burning stove and flagstone floors whisper of a bygone time. 

Your hosts take great pride in their home, and it shows, with a high level of attention and care evident down to the last detail. Upstairs you’ll find two tastefully coloured bedrooms alongside a gorgeously bright bathroom with a tadelakt finish. Downstairs to the rear of the cottage, inspiration has been drawn from the Japanese onsens, manifesting in a garden spa bathroom complete with cedar shingles and exposed brick, which opens out onto a private courtyard. Outside, your hosts’ passion shines through even more, with handmade willow fences and sunshade. To the front of the cottage is a herb and flower-filled garden in which you can spend summer days dining alfresco or lazing about on one of two deck chairs.

Set in the centre of the Cotswolds, you are perfectly positioned for exploring the north and south of this Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty at your leisure. The picturesque town of Bibury is just a ten-minute drive away, while Roman ruins lie six minutes in the other direction in Cirencester. Closer to home, why not take a stroll to The Gilbertine for a spot of brunch, or try out the Village Inn at Barnsley, or The Crown at Ampney, both just a five-minute drive away.

Bursting with Bloom

 This sky-deck house is located on the water's edge, offering stunning views of Minety Lake and the wildlife that calls it home. The house features a log fire for those colder months and a modern open-plan dining area that opens up to a lovely wooden patio with barbecue facilities. The standout feature here however is its roof terrace complete with hot tub, overlooking the lake and surroundings. As the home is on an estate, it’s worth noting it may slightly impact your privacy, though guests will have access to the estate’s facilities, such as the swimming pools and award-winning spa.

The whole family, your furry friend included, are sure to make memories at this lakeside home in the Cotswolds. When we say the whole family, we mean it, since this home offers ground-floor ensuite bedrooms and a lift for those that require it for accessibility reasons. We’re sure you’ll make the most of the terrace overlooking the lake, dining and sharing drinks during the summer months, and if you happen upon a rainy day, the modern living room is a cosy spot to watch the rainfall. Location-wise, there are waterfront restaurants and cafes within walking distance. You’ll also have a host of watersports options at your fingertips, while the South Cerney golf course is a short drive should you want to practise your swing.

Cotswold Reflections

This lakeside retreat is nestled in the heart of a private estate. And with beautiful views, a balcony and plenty of socialising space, this is a wonderful setting for a refreshing family getaway. Guests have access to the on-site facilities which include an outdoor pool, sauna and tennis courts. Two complimentary spa passes are included in your stay (for all guests) and there’s plenty to do in the area. From fishing and hiking to yoga and paddle boarding, there’s something for everyone.  It’s also just a short drive to nearby Cirencester – just 6 miles away. 

Magic of the Lake

This stylish lakeside retreat is the perfect setting for a weekend escape in the heart of the Cotswolds. With thoughtfully designed interiors, open-plan living and a sun-soaked deck, it’s ideal for cosy dinners, lazy mornings, and evenings around the fire table. The home sits on peaceful Minety Lake, with access to the on-site spa, restaurant, nature trails, and bike or paddleboard hire. While some nearby homes are still under development, pricing reflects this, and the setting remains a beautiful place to unwind. Whether you're relaxing indoors or exploring outdoors, this is a Cotswolds stay to remember.

 The Lake Light

This lakeside home is surrounded by acres of nature reserve and miles of hiking trails. We think it's ideal for families – for an additional fee, furry friends are welcome and your host can provide a travel cot and high chair. The glass wall at the back of the house offers great lake views and natural light, but it does mean that some privacy is lost if you're spending time outside in the hot tub, or if you have the light on in the evening. You'll enjoy access to a range of onsite facilities though, from a spa and pool to a restaurant and shop, and you can explore the area by bike, on foot or even by canoe.

Dew Drops

Set within a 1,600-acre farm, this renovated stable is a slice of peace and a pop of colour in the Cotswold countryside. When you arrive you'll be greeted by a picture-perfect dream cottage, filled with the original oak beams, chic country flair, and a pretty master bedroom with a view and French doors into the garden. Your nearest neighbours are another stable, so the home is perfect for switching off all communication and settling in for a stay of walking, reading, and eating. The open-plan kitchen and lounge space is ideal for cooking together, as well as a comfy sofa in front of a log-burner, perfect for cuddling up after a day exploring. On sunny days, we love opening the French doors and letting in the fresh air, before wine and nibbles on the south-facing patio. If it gets cold, you can light the fire pit - which is also great for roasting marshmallows. The huge farm is open for exploring, with walks over fields, as well as to the farm's shop, where we love to stock up on food produced on the home's doorstep. The spot is in an excellent location for exploring some of the area’s most picturesque villages, while Cirencester and its smarter restaurants are only a 20-minute drive away.

Green Is The Colour

Situated on a picturesque lakeside estate, this home boasts lovely views and a private terrace with space to dine alfresco. Two well-behaved pups are welcome to join you here for a fee and there's plenty of space for large families, with room for ten adults and two children on bunk beds. The estate offers a myriad of communal facilities, from swimming pools and a sauna to an on-site shop and restaurant. With nearby Cotswolds villages like Cirencester and Bibury just a short drive away, we recommend hiring a car to get the most out of this gorgeous location.

Life by the Lake

Set amid private acres on a nature reserve, you'll find plenty of outdoor activities across land and water to keep you entertained. Spoiled with lake views from three south-facing balconies, this home is ideal for hot tub hangouts and alfresco barbecues – or why not arrange a private dining experience? Unwind in the spa, dip in an eco-pool, or play tennis without setting foot off the estate. That said, the Cotswolds offers countryside pastimes, chocolate-box villages, and Roman history in nearby Cirencester. 

Master of the Lake

If you’re in search of a lakeside adventure, look no further than this contemporary sanctuary. Nestled in a private estate, you’ll be treated to south-facing lake views from the garden and there’s a balcony as well as a barbecue for alfresco dining.

You’ll have access to the spa with a communal swimming pool and there’s an on-site restaurant as well as a small market shop. And when it comes to adventures, you can hire bikes and water equipment for fun on the lake. 


Butterfly Love

For those seeking adventure, watersports and gym facilities are also available – why not try paddleboarding? Head to the on-site beach for a spot of sun-soaking, then head home to tuck into a home-cooked dinner on the deck overlooking the lake. Wrap up your day with a cosy fireside chat in the living room with a glass of wine in hand.

Lake Lodge

Home Cinema Setup

Tucked within a lakeside estate, this modern home delivers privacy with resort-style perks. Inside, it’s all clean lines and floor-to-ceiling windows that flood the space with light. There’s a home cinema for movie nights and a large deck with a private hot tub for soaking under the stars. Beyond your doorstep, the estate offers access to a pool, spa, gym and restaurants, plus a full calendar of activities – think archery, fishing, beer tasting, kids’ craft sessions and more.

The Cotswolds Cabin

Perfect for a family break, this apartment set within a Cotswolds holiday park offers relaxation and fun in equal measure. Those looking to unwind will be tempted by the shared amenities, including an award-winning on-site spa and communal swimming pools, while active types will no doubt want to try their hand at the many watersports on offer (with equipment available to rent). Bike hire, shared tennis courts and a communal gym are on hand too, while the on-site restaurant offers the perfect excuse to take a break from cooking. That said, the home’s private balcony offers a spot for alfresco dining – best enjoyed facing the beautiful surroundings, a glass of wine in hand. 

Marigold Bloom

Set in the sleepy village of Poulton, yet just a few minutes' drive from historic Cirencester, picture-perfect Bibury, and Cotswold Water Park, this Grade II-listed cottage offers the best of both worlds. Dating back to the 17th century, exposed beams, original stone flooring, and a wood burner bring all the cottage charm, and the sociable kitchen diner overlooking the garden is a nice touch. Rather keep things easy? The village pub is just an amble away for upper-crust grub. Or fire up the barbecue in the enclosed, private garden – set back from the street, it's blissfully quiet.
