The Boathouse - Romantic Glass Lodge - Hot Tub
Summary:
A glass-fronted hideaway on a private lake, The Boathouse is a one-of-a-kind retreat for two. Soak in the hot tub, kayak at sunrise, or just stay in with the log burner glowing and the water right outside your window. With a sun deck over the lake, a mezzanine bedroom, and access to wild swimming, trails and total stillness - this is where you come to disconnect, slow down, and feel completely away.
Fully booked? Search for Willow, Waterlily or Island - identical escapes on the same lake.

The Neighborhood:
Little Horseshoe Lake is a private gated retreat with just five homes on two tranquil lakes. You’re in South Cerney, surrounded by peaceful nature but only a short drive from the independent charm of Cirencester and the 180+ lakes that make up the Cotswold Lakes.

Getting Around:
A car is ideal to make the most of the area, though the 51 bus route (Cheltenham to Swindon) runs nearby, and Kemble Station is just 7 miles away with fast trains to London. Taxis should be pre-booked.
