No.91 is situated off the main drive in a small cluster of lodges in a lawned area, set with mature specimen trees. There is a lake with fountain to the rear with a further lake facing the lodge. Take a leisurely walk around the development or take the path by the play area for a short walk to nearby South Cerney, with a choice of pubs, local shops and services. There is a wealth of outdoor activities available on the doorstep including water sports, bike hire, archery, bird watching and golf. You can even spend a day at the beach complete with pedalos, picnic area and gelato. After all that activity you can treat yourself to a soothing spa experience at the De Vere Hotel, just across the road.

It is in the heart of the Cotswold Water Park.

Five miles from the lakes is historic Cirencester, capital of the south Cotswolds. As the Roman Corinium it became the second largest Roman town in Britain. Discover the history and treasures of Cirencester at the Corinium museum or, just a street away, pay a visit to St John the Baptist, the largest of the areas ‘Wool’ churches. Cirencester is a lively town with outdoor and indoor marketplaces and a great range of independent shops and vibrant cafés and places to eat.

Away from the towns there is plenty to explore; the glorious gardens at Hidcote, Snowshill and Kiftsgate to name but three, the Farm and Wildlife Parks and the wonderful walking at Cirencester Park, on Minchinhampton Common and in the Windrush Valley and easy access to the A419 makes the lakes an excellent base if you want to explore further afield.

Great location for Cheltenham Festivals, especially Gold Cup week.

* You’ll need to bring your own own kit.

Lovely location

Property just as described. Location is great with tennis courts, pool, ping pong etc to keep children occupied. The house itself was neat and tidy. One request - pls keep 2-3 dishwasher tablets and , a roll of kitchen towels and at least 1 full roll of toilet paper in each bathroom. We had to buy these and having these basic things would have been a nice touch

Jubilee Celebrations with Friends

We are a group of 6 friends - and this time we added a poorly canine to the mix. We have stayed in this area on 2 previous occasions so knew what to expect. The property did not disappoint and there was plenty of room for us all. We did not leave the property except for walks. We made excellent use of the patio area and enjoyed watching the local wildlife including the feisty male swan protecting his young brood. We had everything we needed to enjoy our 3 day celebration stay. No problems getting to and into the property and communication with the owner was always prompt and positive. Would thoroughly recommend this to others looking at renting.

Quality equipment

It ‘s in a lovely position, overlooking a lake, a minute’s walk from the table tennis room, and very near the childrens’ playground, tennis courts and other sports facilities. The house was well thought out, with the best kitchen equipment I have found in a holiday rental. The beds were comfortable, as were the sofas. The ‘third bathroom’ was a downstairs cloakroom with a washing machine, WC and basin.

Loved the lodge and where it was. Stunning grounds. Bed in master ver uncomfortable

We had a great few days. Used eating places near by so was able to walk. Beautiful surroundings. Coffee shop at the water sports Centre was so nice, staff extremely friendly and very dog friendly. Our only problem was the mattress in the master room. So uncomfortable we both had a terrible nights sleep every Night. When I say this I am sure this was an oversight on the cleaners side but the mattress cover was stained. We did removed it for cleaning so hopefully no one put it back on again until it had been cleaned. I would like to say it was alovely place to stay snd would recommend it. Only thing missing was the Hot Tub. Lol on sunny days the sun is on the decking over looking the lake - beautiful.

Excellent

Property was excellent, exactly as shown, well maintained, well appointed and very comfortable throughout. The pre arrival material was spot on and Rob was very prompt in responding to any questions. The area is well maintained and this property is at the top end of how properties in the location are maintained. The only concern was that the 24 hour gate security was poor as the barriers were regularly up and anyone could get access to the site.

5* - Absolutely Amazing!

Would highly recommend this property and site, it’s beautiful and very well maintained and the property was so clean and well equipped with everything you need and more. So lovely to have the view over the lake. Had the most relaxing weekend with our teenage boys who loved the water sports nearby and made use of the facilities on site, table tennis, badminton, tennis, pool and football. Cannot fault this location at all and the owners of the property were so informative and helpful and replied almost instantly to emails, thank you so much. It was our first visit to the Cotswolds and we would definitely come here again.
