This three-storey lake house, right on the water's edge, is the perfect spot for a large group getaway with a difference. It's ideally located for water sport enthusiasts and outdoor lovers alike as there are so many activities for you to do. The property itself has been beautifully decorated with a contemporary feel and is bursting with natural light throughout, making it an incredibly welcoming place to stay. With its own private mooring, you are welcome to bring along a non-motorised boat to take out on the shared lake, or simply sit back and relax on the rear terrace and take in the lakeside view. With room for eight guests spread across four bedrooms, and a large open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner, there is more than enough space for everyone to enjoy this property whatever the occasion may be.

 

Leave muddy boots and coats in the reception hall as you enter this property, before stepping through to the stylish lounge/kitchen/diner. Oozing sophistication, this room is the hub of the house, making it the perfect space for socialising as a group whilst cooking up a delicious meal. Share wine, food and stories around the dining room table before settling down for the evening with snacks in front of the large TV. On a summer's evening, why not fire up the BBQ and venture outside to the terrace? Patio doors leading off from the kitchen/diner area make preparing a complimentary salad easy, whilst drinks can be left chilling in the fridge with the easy access. Take your morning coffee out to the terrace for a tranquil start to your day, or sit at the breakfast bar with company before heading off for the day's adventure. With a bathroom with shower over bath on the first floor, as well as two en-suites, getting ready in the morning is made simple, allowing for a quick start to the day.

We liked the open plan and brightness of the property- it was relaxing and inviting. After day and half felt rejuvenated seeing the lake at every turn created an embracing atmosphere, I have some stunning photos.

Fabulous, comfortable property, very spacious, beautiful view of the lake. Well stocked kitchen. My son and his wife brought our 3 month grandson and we had a fabulous time. We enjoyed the tennis court and kayaking. Short drive to Cirencester and lots to do and see including a wonderful Roman villa.

We had a great time! Beautiful location- Property was clean and well equipped kitchen apart from no cheese grater. Jayne was easy to contact and responsive. Jetty in much need of TLC and fixing - which we used at our own risk. Decking needs treatment. Bbq - you will need to bring disposables.
