Malachite Lodge

๐—ฆ๐˜‚๐—บ๐—บ๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐˜†:

Malachite Lodge hosts incredible south-facing views of the lake. Start your morning with a long bath overlooking the water, and let the rest of the house find their way to the comfortable living area. The decking is enclosed, so feel free to let your dog explore. Thereโ€™s plenty of seating outside when youโ€™re ready to join them, so you can also make the most of that lakeside panorama.

๐—ง๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐—ฆ๐—ฝ๐—ฎ๐—ฐ๐—ฒ:

Malachite Lodge sleeps up to eight guests across four bedrooms, with three and a half bathrooms and a master suite featuring a private balcony. The downstairs living space is open-plan and recently refurbished, with floor-to-ceiling windows that look directly over the lake. The layout is designed for family groups who want space to spread out without drifting too far from each other.

๐—š๐˜‚๐—ฒ๐˜€๐˜ ๐—”๐—ฐ๐—ฐ๐—ฒ๐˜€๐˜€:

Youโ€™ll have full use of the lodge, the enclosed lakefront decking, the private hot tub, the outdoor dining area and the BBQ. The decking has direct access to the lake, and private parking is right outside the property.

Check in from 3PM and check out by 10AM.

You can arrive at your own pace with self check-in via key box, just give us a call if you have any issues.

Set within the beautiful Cotswold Lakes, youโ€™re surrounded by over 180 lakes, woodland trails and quiet village lanes. The landscape feels open, green and peaceful in every direction. It's the perfect space to be active and explore, ideal for cycling, paddle-boarding, or just walking and enjoying the abundant wildlife and fresh air.

South Cerney is only a few minutes away and is one of the areaโ€™s most established villages. Think traditional stone cottages, small, friendly shops, lovely pubs and delightful cafรฉs. Tree-lined lanes and village greens all lead directly towards scenic lakeside routes, so natureโ€™s nearby even when youโ€™re shopping.

Cirencester is about 10-15 minutes by car and offers boutique shopping, restaurants, markets, and a rich sense of history. Kemble Station is also close, with direct trains into London, making this spot practical for quick weekend visits as well as longer stays.

Everybody finds peace in a different way, and thatโ€™s how it should be. From the moment you book, you decide the pace, and weโ€™ll be there to help you plan, and create moments that really matter. Itโ€™s that little extra layer of support we offer to make sure everything runs smoothly. Thoughtful service, that never gets in the way of a good moment.

Whether that means a slow morning with a fresh pot of tea and a long soak, or a day out exploring neighbourhoods and nature - weโ€™ll guide you, so it all unfolds just the way youโ€™ve pictured it.
The vacation home is heated and features a kitchen, 4 bathrooms, and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 4 bedrooms. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and an ironing board.

We all loved the hot tub and the peace and quiet of the Malachite Lakehouse. Waking up to the lake views was wonderful, especially during the quiet, peaceful mornings spent watching the birds on the water. The lake setting is peaceful and private, with amazing sunsets.The views out of the windows, both upstairs and downstairs, are absolutely stunning and really make the property special. The host communicated well and was responsive throughout our stay.One small note is that the open bathroom and shower in the master bedroom felt a bit unusual, but it did not detract significantly from our overall experience.Overall, this is a beautiful, relaxing lakeside property and we truly enjoyed our time here.

We stayed at Malachite as 2 families and had an amazing long weekend, we all loved the hot tub and the peace and quiet of the property, waking up to the lake views was wonderful!The house was extremely clean and the layout is very family friendly (enough space for a game of twister!), the children also really enjoyed the "open up" wall between the bedrooms they used.The kitchen had everything that we needed we plenty of space to get everyone involved in meal preparation. The open space downstairs with the decked area was brilliantly laid out.Despite the October weather we even managed to have lots of fun making use of the kayak on the lake and then warmed ourselves up in the hot tub.The one small comment was that it was strange that the main bedroom doesn't have a door separating the bedroom from the bathroom.It was a lovely weekend, with Malachite making a great base from which we could explore the Cotswolds.

Fantastic getaway

We stayed at the Water's Edge Lake resort for a weekend to celebrate my 50th birthday. The lodges are stunning & you couldn't ask for a more beautiful location. The weather was fantastic so we enjoyed using the hot tub of an evening whilst the sunset. Would highly recommend.
