From the manager

Swan Lake Lodge is a chic New England-style lakeside retreat for six, located on Spring Lake in the Cotswold Water Park. The pretty clapper board-style exterior and fantastic water-front setting make a brilliant first impression, whilst the convenience of the location within steps of a family-friendly lakeside bar, brasserie and gym come a close second.

This contemporary and charming lodge offers light and airy accommodation with panoramic lake views from inside and out. Downstairs, its open plan living and dining area flows out onto a private deck via French doors – a perfect spot for alfresco dining or simply to sit back and enjoy lakeside life! There is also a fully equipped U-shaped kitchen and handy downstairs shower room.

Upstairs there is a large master bedroom with a 5' bed and full length window overlooking the lake, allowing you the same stunning views. There are two further twin/double bedrooms with 5' zip and link beds. These are tight rooms and have limited storage. There is a family bathroom with a shower over the bath. Extra care has been taken for families, and you will find lots of special touches around the house if you are planning on taking the little ones.

Like the name suggests, from the deck you can feed the resident swans and ducks that are very friendly. And you may be lucky enough to spot woodpeckers, herons and great crested grebes as well. There is also an abundance of watersports, activities, great eateries, walking, history and culture to discover nearby.

The Location:

Within a minute's stroll is the Lakeside Brassiere which boasts a family friendly sports bar, a relaxed family restaurant with a sun terrace overlooking the lake. A fully air conditioned gym is located above the brasserie with a range of equipment. The gym also offers a highly reasonable single use fee option.

Within 50 metres of the lodge is a large children's play area with climbing frame, monkey bars and fireman pole.

Lakeside Ski & Wake offer wakeboard and waterski lessons on Spring Lake, plus sessions as well as fun rides for all the family on their ringos and other inflatables.

Next to the house is a small shingle beach area popular with the little ones for paddling. From the deck you can feed swans and ducks that are very friendly, but far enough away to stop little ones from feeling intimidated.

Located opposite Spring Lake is the South Cerney Outdoor Education Centre which offers sailing, canoeing, and paddle boarding activities and courses. Bike hire, angling and even the biggest inland beach in the UK are all within a mile or two.

Fire the Heart Retreats, situated on the Landings nearby, offers guests in-house rejuvenation therapies and treatments. Alternatively, treat yourself to private treatments and pampering at the house from Glo Pamper. A personal chef can also be arranged if required.

The house is within walking distance to the local village of South Cerney which offers a number of local amenities including a selection of pubs, takeaways, supermarket and a post office.

Swan Lake Lodge is ideally situated too for exploring the well-known villages of Stow-on-the-Wold, Bibury, Bourton-on-the-Water, and Moreton-in-the-Marsh. Cirencester known as ‘The Capital of the Cotswolds', is 4 miles away, giving easy access to excellent shopping, restaurants, entertainment, ancient buildings and museums.

Highgrove House, one of the homes of Prince Charles, is less than half an hour's drive as is Westonbirt Arboretum, with its stunning new treetop walkway, the longest in the UK.

Appealing to children in particular, the nearby Cotswold Wildlife Park, the numerous attractions at Bourton-on-the-Water, and Cotswold Farm Park provide plentiful entertainment.
