Located on Spring Lake, our lake house has prime position in the Cotswold Water Park, one of the best kept secrets of Gloucestershire! Wildlife, watersports, activities, great eateries, walking, history and culture are just some of the things you will find nearby.
Perched on the water's edge, Lapwing Lake Lodge is a chic New England-style retreat for six plus pooch. Downstairs, it's fully open plan complemented by stunning bi-folding doors that stretch across the back of the house. They ensure the house is filled with calm and tranquil light whilst showing the lake off in all its charming glory.
An ever changing picture of water-skiers, swans and rippling water can be enjoyed from the comfort of the sofa, or fold the doors back and the living area takes on a new and exciting feel. The outside space becomes an extension to the house, providing the perfect spot for sizzling steaks on the barbecue. Or simply sitting back to enjoy lakeside life while your own hot tub bubbles invitingly and watch the world go by.
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. 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.

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. A monthly membership can be purchased, but 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 the 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 also within walking distance to the local village of South Cerney which offers a number of local amenities including a selection of pubs, takeaways, village shops, post office and a hairdressers.
The well-known quintessential English villages of Stow-on-the-Wold, Bibury, Bourton-on-the-Water, and Moreton-in-the-Marsh, are all within easy reach and make a great day out.
Cirencester known as ‘The Capital of the Cotswolds', is 4 miles, 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.
