Lakeside House - sleeps 10 guests in 4 bedrooms

Set back from the Fosse Way, down a private driveway, Lakeside House is a beautiful Grade II listed property in a great location in the heart of the Cotswolds - perfect for exploring the North and South Cotswolds. With four bedrooms, this spacious property is a superb choice for friends or families looking for a relaxing break or groups attending weddings at nearby Cripps Barn.

Lakeside House has a beautiful lawned garden to the front with a glorious view across to a lake and the gardens of the nearby historic Inn at Fossebridge. To the side is a gravelled outdoor seating-dining area with a charcoal barbecue.

On the first floor are two bedrooms - a king-size double and a family room with four single beds - and the family bathroom.

Cotswolds
Nice property in good location in terms of access to Cotswolds attractions but traffic noise an issue. Building works going on whilst we were there should not have happened.

Fabulous stay
Amazing house, with everything you could need. We stayed with our children and young grandchildren , 10 of us altogether, with 1 dog and there was plenty of space for everyone. The rooms are beautifully decorated and comfortable. It was the perfect place for us, completely relaxing, but within a 15/20 minute drive to everything.

Cosy retreat, excellent stay!
Spent 5 days at Lakeside House building happy family memories and had an excellent time there. Property is newly renovated, all the mod cons available, with comfortable beds and a lovely living/dining area that allowed the family to gather and spend quality time together. Highlights were the central location within the Cotswolds: 15-20 mins from Bourton-on-the-Water, Cirencester etc, as well as the huge gardens adjoining the inn next door which gave the kids lots of room to run around and play. Owners were warm and welcoming, would gladly visit again.

Perfect
My bridal party and I stayed here the night before my wedding. It was a fantastic house and was perfect for what we needed. It was spacious, had lots of character and was bright and clean. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen had everything we needed and the living room was big and comfortable. We loved it. Thank you!
