The Lake House

Watermark The Cotswolds

The Landings, South Cerney, Nr Cirencester, Gloucestershire

https://www.watermarkcotswolds.com/lodges/the-lake-house/

This stunning lodge has 6 bedrooms including 2 HUGE master suites, both with gorgeous free standing baths, super king four poster beds and walk in wardrobes, each bedroom has an en-suite bathroom with shower, a cinema room, games room with table tennis, large kitchen/diner, sitting room, utility room, decking with outside seating, garden area, summer house, tennis courts AND most importantly PETS are very welcome.

 

The house is so spacious and could certainly be occupied by a group of friends/family if you're thinking about splitting the cost, and still have your own space. The bedrooms are seperated on each floor with 1 on the ground floor, 3 on the 1st floor, and 2 on the 2nd floor, again with their own en-suite bathroom so there is plenty of privacy. 

 

The 'Lake House' is located, you guessed it, right on the edge of the peninsula. With the most stunning views of the lake. If you enjoy paddleboarding, fishing or kayaking then this is the perfect destination for you.

Price - £££

Price is quite high, BUT it is what you would expect for a high end luxury house like this, in the location it is in, however if you are splitting the cost between a few parties it works out pretty reasonable. Like anywhere, peak times will be priced higher, so it may be a good idea to book some weekdays off work. Trust me, it is definitely worth the money!!

Located right in the heart of the Cotswolds, close to so many beautiful towns & villages which are all really dog friendly 🐾

I honestly couldn’t recommend The Lake House enough! And the booking process was fantastic, thank you to the lovely Philippa and the team at Watermark.

When booking with Watermark they very kindly give you exclusive discounts off local restaurants and spa treatments to make use of during your stay. We took full advantage of this and booked in a Swedish back, neck and shoulder massage with Zoe at Zen Pamper. Zen Pamper are mobile, and come to the Lake House so there is no need to leave. You can book directly through their website using the discount provided. https://www.zenpamper.co.uk/ Zoe was great, we had such a relaxing massage, in the most beautiful location.
