About this property
Lovely lodge with private deck and stunning lake view in Cotswolds Water Parks.
A well presented New England styled lodge, overlooking lakes from both aspects of the property. The property benefits from an open plan layout and is neutrally decorated throughout. A great place to share with family and friends. There is plenty to do in the area for all members of the family from water sports, golf, fishing and walking to visiting farms, wildlife parks, National Trust properties or simply making use of the onsite facilities of table tennis, children's play area, boules, tennis, pool and more all set in a relaxed environment or even relaxing by the lake on on your own private decking.
The lodge is larger than most on site, particularly the double bedroom allowing room if necessary for a guest bed. There is an en-suite shower-room off the master bedroom, family bathroom with shower and cloakroom downstairs.
From entering the front door, the open plan layout allows you to look straight through to the decking and the lake. The kitchen is well equipped with Microwave, Fridge/Freezer, Dishwasher, Toaster, 4 ring induction hob and electric fan oven. The washing machine can be found in the utility area along with drying space and additional storage. The downstairs cloakroom is off the utility area.
The dining table seats 6 and can be extended to seat 8 with 2 additional dining chairs available, a child seat which acts as a high chair or booster seat is available. The lounge is furnished with two large comfy 3 seater sofas, coffee table standard floor lamps, Smart TV, WiFi and Bluetooth speaker. A large spacious cupboard houses the cushions for the Patio furniture, books for both Adults & Children, games for both indoors and outdoors. From the lounge you can exit through double patio doors to the decking with Gas Barbecue and low level Patio furniture for lounging or Alfresco dining. Sun Loungers and another patio set are available for more relaxed time on the decking or lawn at the lakeside.

The large second bedroom is furnished with Double bed, Desk, Wardrobe with Chest of Drawers. The Third bedroom has two single beds. We have a Travel Cot and Guest bed for the 7th guest should they be required. The bedrooms have light restricting blinds if you prefer a darker room or if you prefer to have light coming into your room there is an alternative roman blind in situ. The Family Bathroom has Bath with Shower. For peace of mind upstairs there is a retractable stair-gate and a portable one for down stairs. These do act more as a deterrent rather than safety gates.
Heating upstairs is by Electric radiators controlled individually. The Bathrooms have heated towel rails. Downstairs heating is by Electric convector heaters. On Site facilities : - There is a lot on-site to keep everyone entertained, Table Tennis, 3 Tennis Courts one of which is floodlit, boules, croquet, goals for football, playground for the children.

Beautiful property with a fantastic outlook over the lake. We only stayed 2 nights as we were attending a family wedding so didn’t get to check out the local area, but the lakeside complex itself was lovely and peaceful.
Immaculately presented and well stocked property, perfect for a long weekend with friends or family. So much to do on site and in the surrounding area in any weather, we had a fantastic time and would happily return.
Annual family get together, 3 generations all catered for extremely well, sorry won’t be able to return next year, as new arrival due in August, ( too many of us)
Can recommend staying here 5 stars

We are so pleased that you enjoyed your stay. We can accommodate a baby as well as a child.
A fantastic trip away with friends in a cottage that was not only ideally situated, but had everything you could possibly ask for. Will definitely recommend and be visiting again.
Lovely property, well described, lots to do nearby
We really enjoyed our stay with our grown-up children. The property was very clean and had plenty of everything (not just the exact number of plates/glasses etc as some do) also plenty of games and racquets for the nearby tennis court. Lovely to see all the waterbirds from the veranda. We explored local villages and towns and had a perfect time!
Chose this property because it was located conveniently for a trip back to the home country (living in the USA for 25 years) with our adult daughter to meet with various family groups scattered around the UK. The house was exceptionally well equipped for us to host family members coming (groups of 8 at a time in some cases) to spend the day with us. Very pleasant surrounding area was a bonus for us, as was the room full of kids games (one of our visitors was 3 years old). Sharon the host was very helpful with any questions.
The property was immaculate, well equipped to suit all ages in a wonderful location overlooking a lake with fountain. From buckets and spades (which we didn’t make use of) to a variety of music - it had everything you could want for a relaxing stay. We spent a wonderful few days exploring the area on walks and sampling the excellent food on offer at local restaurants. Couldn’t fault it!
This was our base for a group of friends to have some time away for two nights. The house was as described. Clearly some thought had gone into making the stay as easy as possible - there were som really nice touches throughout, including an unusually informative information folder. It’s a very comfy home from home and there’s plenty to do nearby. I would recommend this for friends or for a family to have a nice getaway.
Lovely cosy stay on two wet & cold days. Everything had been thought of. Really well-equipped kitchen, comfy beds, lots of towels, nice comfy sofas for Granny to sit on - to name just a few things we liked. Thanks very much!
This is a lovely holiday lodge overlooking the lake. The house was very clean and well equipped with modern fixtures and fittings. Wi-fi is very strong, there is a Wii for gaming and a large freeview TV. On-site there are 3 tennis courts, a play area, and space for other activities. Communications with Sharon beforehand were excellent, and the house was easy to access and the perfect place to relax!

We are pleased that you enjoyed your stay and enjoyed the facilities on site and in the lodge and of course that you were able to relax.
Our family had a wonderful time. We stayed for 3 nights over Christmas (including Christmas day). This is our 3rd Christmas in a row at The Cotswolds Water Park, but our first time at this Lodge. The entire experience, from the time of booking to checkout was great. Our host Sharon communicated with me throughout the booking and replied to all my messages incredibly quickly and she was super helpful. The house is gorgeous and so cosy. A real home from home. My family andI felt so comfortable. The views back and front of the lake are stunning. We had swans and ducks visit us each morning on the back terrace and Sharon even provided duck food for us to feed them, much to the delight of our 4 year old granddaughter. Sharon very kindly decorated the house for Christmas and left us a beautiful Christmas tree, which we hugely appreciated. The house is very warm and cosy throughout. Its incredibly clean and well equipped and stocked. The attention to detail is amazing. Sharon honestly has thought of everything. Oh she also kindly left us a pannettone, which is my favourite Christmas dessert. The beds are very comfy and everyone slept so well. I could go on all day about how much we enjoyed our stay and we would love to return, perhaps in the summer. Thank you Sharon for allowing us to stay at your lovely home and for making us feel so welcome and at homePatrice and Phil

Thank you for your kind comments, they are so very much appreciated. We like to think that we give our guests an experience that we would appreciate ourselves. We look forward to your return.
We traveled to England from Texas with four adult children. Finding a nice property with five separate beds was challenging. We looked at tons and were thrilled with the one we chose. (The twin beds were a bit cramped for two adult men, but they made it work.) The setting was beautiful, the home immaculate, and we loved the thoughtful extra amenities. It's a great centralized location to tour the Cotswolds.
What an amazing lodge! Beautifully decorated, vey comfortable, modern, extremely well equipped, spotlessly clean in every way and in the most stunning location. Sitting on the terrace overlooking the lake, watching the birdlife, was just bliss. There was not a single negative. Perfectly located for enjoying the many delights of the cotswolds.
Sharon was a joy as a host and we felt it truly mattered to her that her guests had a great experience. The best holiday lodge we have ever stayed in and we can't wait to return. Thank you,
Immaculate property in a safe and secure holiday park.
The lodge is even nicer and more spacious than it looks in the photographs. We were seven adults and for a weekend of eating, drinking and chatting it was perfect.
We were able to have food delivered to the door by South Cerney Tandoori and a very nice restaurant The Old Boathouse is a very short walk. Both of which meant no designated drivers or taxis were required.
We'd go back in a flash. :o)

It is lovely to hear that you made use of the local facilities, not only the restaurant and local food delivery but also the Park Run nearby and the High Ropes next door hidden amongst the trees.
A lovely and informative host. The house is fully equipped with smart TV, fair sized refrigerator, modern radiators, washer, dehumidifier for laundry, washing pods, kitchen utensils, pots and pans, and board games. We sure didn’t find a need to leave the house except for a stroll around the ponds and having fun at the playground and tennis court. The house is also child friendly. To top it off, Sharon made sure to provide detailed information prior to our arrival. Within few hours of cozying up in the house, we’ve regretted booking just for a few days. Definitely recommended. Thank you so much x

Thank you Nur, we are pleased to hear that you were comfortable in our home from home lakeside holiday lodge.
We stayed at this property in July and had a wonderful stay. The house was clean and spacious and absolutely everything you needed to provided. Being July it was fairly warm and the house even had fans in each bedroom which was a lovely touch.
Will definitely be staying again.
Lovely place to stay. Felt like a home from home but in a much lovelier location. The house was fab and had everything we might need for the weekend. Loved it.
A well looked after 3 bedroomed lodge with decking overlooking Isis Lake in the Cotswolds. Perfect for our family of grandparents, son & daughter-in-law, and three grandsons - one a toddler who slept in a cot in his parents room. The kitchen was well stocked as was the secret cupboard off the lounge with an array of indoor and outdoor games. The onsite play/sports activities were used by us all.
An absolutely beautiful property and surrounding area - would 100% recommend.
Stayed to celebrate my mum’s 80th - the property easily accommodated 7 of us - had everything we needed and was spotlessly clean. Such a beautiful location - we could not have been happier. Thank you for everything..
We had a very enjoyable weekend in this beautifully positioned property. There were lots of activities on site for the grandchildren to enjoy and it was an excellent base for exploring the Cotswolds.
Beautiful place, in great condition easy access to all places of interest in the area. We would
Recommend staying here to anyone.
The property it self immaculate and very well run by the owners.

About the host
Hosted by Sharon Holmes
We live in London, we have two boys now with family of their own. We always dreamed of owning a holiday home, somewhere to retreat to for weekends. A dream came true and now we own 'Irel' the name taken from our family bungalow so that the name can continue. We can now enjoy family retreats with our sons and their families as they can with their own.
Why they chose this property
With such a short drive from London to such a beautiful part of England, a house in the Cotswolds Water Parks ticks all the boxes. Beautiful rolling hills, lakes, tranquil villages, farms something for everyone and every mood. The lodge set with a view of Lakes from both aspects of the property away from parked cars it was difficult to let the opportunity of this lodge pass. We love being here we feel it is a home from home lodge and hope that you will feel the same.
What makes this property unique
The lodge has everything we believe for a relaxing stay. Books, Puzzles, Games, tennis and badminton racquets, table tennis bats, and a set of boules for outdoor site activities are all provided.
The decking is a sun trap during the day where you can relax with a book and admire the view across the Lake. There are benches and picnic benches around the site so you can take the opportunity of a different view.
