The Duck House | Dog-Friendly Lakehouse + Hot Tub
Summary: The Duck House is a modern, dog-friendly lakehouse with stunning water views, a private hot tub, and space to fully switch off. With four bedrooms, a chef’s kitchen, and sunlit interiors, it’s perfect for group getaways or laid-back escapes. Located on our gated Waters Edge estate in South Cerney, the home has three outdoor spaces, a lakeside deck, and its own gate straight to the water. A proper retreat - with comfort built in.

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.
