Serendipity | Cotswold Lakehouse | Hot Tub & Kayak
Serendipity at Cotswold Water Park Retreats offers a unique blend of modern luxury and traditional charm, making it an ideal destination for those seeking a memorable escape in the heart of the Cotswolds. This property, located on a private residential estate, exudes a Scandinavian style with its clean lines and minimalist design, harmoniously set against the backdrop of the picturesque Cotswold countryside.
The heart of Serendipity is its living spaces, which are thoughtfully designed to provide comfort and elegance. The ground floor features porcelain tiled flooring, adding a touch of sophistication. The modern, well-appointed kitchen includes a breakfast bar and stools, perfect for casual dining or enjoying a morning coffee. The utility room is conveniently equipped with a washing machine and tumble dryer.
Accommodation includes four spacious bedrooms, accommodating up to 8 guests. Bedrooms 1 and 2 boast king-sized beds, luxurious en-suites, and covered balconies with stunning views over the lake. Bedroom 3 offers flexible sleeping arrangements with two zip-locked single beds, which can be configured as a super king. Bedroom 4, located downstairs, is ideal for those preferring to avoid stairs and is complemented by a nearby WC and shower room. This can also be set up as one superking bed or as 2 singles.
The open-plan living and dining area, with seating for 10, is a highlight, offering a perfect setting to watch wildlife or enjoy time with family and friends. The lounge area features ample seating and a large wall-mounted smart TV, providing entertainment with Netflix, Amazon Prime, and more.
Outdoors, the property boasts sofas and chairs for alfresco dining or BBQs, partially sheltered by the balconies above. A standout feature is the Jacuzzi hydrotherapy spa, located on the deck, offering relaxation and spectacular sunset views over the lake.
For the colder months, central heating with underfloor heating throughout the ground floor ensures a cozy atmosphere. Pets are welcome, with a maximum of two dogs allowed for an additional fee, though they are not permitted in the bedrooms or on the furniture.
Guests have access to the entire house and all communal areas of the gated Waters Edge private estate. Local amenities include options for hiring fishing equipment, bikes, and SUPs, enhancing the outdoor experience.
In addition to the luxurious accommodations, Serendipity's location in the Cotswold Water Park area offers endless opportunities for exploration and adventure. Guests can enjoy non-motorised water sports and fishing with direct access to the water. The Cotswolds, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, is perfect for discovering stunning villages, country pubs, and fine dining in cosmopolitan towns. Activities such as cycling, water-skiing, horse riding, and hiking are just a few of the options available.
Nearby attractions include Asha's Indian Kitchen, offering a mix of classic and contemporary Indian cuisine, and the Barn Theatre in Cirencester, known for its captivating performances and intimate setting. For wine enthusiasts, a wine tasting experience can be arranged, providing an enjoyable and educational activity.
Serendipity at Cotswold Water Park Retreats is more than just a place to stay; it is a gateway to creating lasting memories in the idyllic Cotswold countryside. It combines the comfort and modernity of a luxury home with the charm and beauty of one of England's most beloved regions, making it an ideal choice for those seeking a unique and unforgettable experience.

About the host

We are Barry and Jo and we have an amazing collection of Cotswold holiday lodges on Cotswold Water Park near the old Roman town of Cirencester with most of them dog friendly.
We’ve been coming to this beautiful area for many years and about 5 years ago we decided to make the move permanent. We set up our company in 2018, starting with our own holiday home on Windrush lake but as you can see from our portfolio now, we have grown quite considerably!We love to travel and just before the “you know what pandemic” we spent 12 months travelling around the world ending up in New Zealand for Christmas and New Year and then working our way up to Hawaii and North, Central and South America. We think we know what it takes to get a place right for our fantastic guests but we are always learning!
We couldn’t do this without our fantastic team which is growing year by year. Unlike many of the larger companies selling holiday lets we, and our team, know all of our properties intimately because we provide the full service from cleaning and hosting through to managing the hot tubs, the plants on the decking and even window cleaning! Jo, Adele and Meg are the last ones to visit your holiday lodge just before you get there to make sure the place is perfect for your stay – you may even bump into one of them on your way in!
