Serendipity | Cotswold Lakehouse | Hot Tub & Kayak

Summary:
Serendipity is made for those special moments - sunset toasts on the deck, birthday dinners that stretch into the night, or family getaways that just feel easy. With panoramic lake views, a hot tub, and room for eight, it’s built for slow mornings, shared meals and catching up properly. Inside, it’s calm and light, with a kayak, games, and multiple balconies for peaceful pauses. Whether you’re celebrating or just reconnecting, it’s a place you’ll want to linger.

The Space:
• Sleeps 8 across 4 relaxed, light-filled bedrooms
• 4 bathrooms - no awkward queues or towel standoffs
• Two upstairs bedrooms have private balconies
• Open-plan kitchen, dining + lounge for easy catch-ups
• Panoramic lake views that stop you mid-scroll
• Enclosed deck with hot tub + charcoal BBQ
• Table football inside - someone’s bound to get competitive
• Kayak + paddle board included - glide out whenever
• Dog-friendly for 2 well-behaved pups (they deserve it too)

Guest Access:
• Full private access to the entire home
• Direct lake access, and water sports
• Private parking for up to four cars
• Entry to our gated Waters Edge estate
• A calm, design-led space with all the essentials

The Neighborhood:
Serendipity sits within the Waters Edge estate in South Cerney, part of the Cotswold Water Park. You’re surrounded by lakes, walking trails and wildlife—perfect for a morning paddle or golden hour stroll. The village has great pubs, coffee stops and local shops, and you’re only 15 minutes from Cirencester for markets, dining, and a bit of Roman charm. Think nature on your doorstep, but everything you need close by.

Getting Around:
A car is ideal for exploring the surrounding villages and lakes. That said, Kemble Station (direct trains from London) is just 7 miles away, and the 51 bus runs from the end of the lane to Cirencester and Swindon. Once you arrive, walking and cycling are great ways to enjoy the peaceful landscape.
