About this property

Pond Lodge - Hot Tub Stay with Views & Log Burner

𝗦𝘂𝗺𝗺𝗮𝗿𝘆:

Set within its own quiet corner of the estate, Pond Lodge looks out across a private pond with a pontoon stretching gently over the water. Slow days can come easily here, from long lunches in the garden to evening dips, relaxing into your hot tub after. Underfloor heating, a log burner and calm lake views make it a place to unwind, with time to enjoy being together, with your dog too.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗲:

Pond Lodge is a light, Scandinavian-designed lakeside home with two bedrooms, the principal bedroom with a king-size bed and a second that can be set up as twin beds or a super-king. Full-height windows look across the water, and the open-plan living space has underfloor heating and a log burner for calm, cosy evenings. You’ll find a Smart TV with Netflix, Bluetooth speaker, Starlink WiFi, and a fully equipped kitchen with a Nespresso machine. Designed for families, couples or friends looking for space and stillness.

𝗚𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗔𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀:

Guests have full private access to the lodge, including:

• The lakefront sun deck

• Private hot tub

• Private pontoon with direct water access

• Two kayaks for exploring the lake

• Check in from 3:00 PM

• Check out by 10:00 AM.

You can arrive at your own pace with self check-in via key box, just give us a call if you have any issues.

𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗪𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗚𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁𝘀:

Everybody finds peace in a different way, and that’s how it should be. From the moment you book, you decide the pace, and we’ll be there to help you plan, and create moments that really matter. It’s that little extra layer of support we offer to make sure everything runs smoothly. Thoughtful service, that never gets in the way of a good moment.

Whether that means a slow morning with a fresh pot of tea and a long soak, or a day out exploring neighbourhoods and nature - we’ll guide you, so it all unfolds just the way you’ve pictured it.

Wonderful welcome goodies, beautiful Christmas tree. Property had everything, shame it was as so wet as would have been nice to explore the beautiful surroundings.

Thank you so much for your lovely feedback. We’re so pleased you enjoyed the welcome goodies and the Christmas tree, we love adding those festive touches. Such a shame the weather didn’t cooperate, but we’re glad the property had everything you needed to enjoy your stay regardless. We’d love to welcome you back in drier weather so you can fully explore the beautiful surroundings next time.

We had a great time. Place was lovely. Such a beautiful place. Great having cooker, microwave, coffee machine as felt like home. Such a wonderful wood burner and views and hot tub great!! We arrived at 3.30pm and I think by 8/9pm we could get in the hot tub - as takes a while to heat up. Cleaning was good. Loved the fact that we had basics such as olive oil, salt and pepper, tea and coffee pods- and a little welcome bottle of drink in the fridge so so great. We got a deal on our two night stay so it was great value. Thank you! A great stay for a reset before going back to work.

I loved this place. Communication was excellent with the host. I did feel like they were quite a few bugs and spiders around the house inside in the windows. I know this isn’t completely avoidable, but seemed like there could’ve been some spiderweb dusting that that’s my only feedback.

Why they chose this property

The Cotswolds is famous for good reason: the rolling hills, the picture-perfect villages, the honey-coloured cottages that seem to deepen in colour by late afternoon.

What tends to surprise people is everything else. Cheltenham Jazz Festival pulls a line-up you'd expect from a much larger city, and the Royal International Air Tattoo at Fairford is one of the great spectacles of the British summer. Theatres, galleries, antique shops and the kind of coffee stops worth a detour are scattered across the region, often in places you wouldn't think to look.

Daylesford Organic started as a farmshop and has quietly become something closer to a country estate you can spend the day inside, spa included. The Bull at Charlbury does a Sunday roast worth planning the weekend around. Aynhoe Park, since Restoration Hardware took it on, is somewhere between a country house and an art installation. The Cotswold Lakes are a world of their own, lodges on the water, paddleboards waiting for you, room to explore and room to do nothing at all.

This is our neighbourhood. So whether you're after a dog-friendly weekend of long walks and pub fires, a five-star house with a hot tub overlooking a lake, or somewhere to base yourself for a festival weekend, welcome. We're here to help.

What makes this property unique

Be.Here. is a collection of homes built for the kind of short stay that actually feels like one. Each one is different in setting, character, and shape of weekend, but they share the same quiet instinct for what a good break needs.

Nothing is left to chance. We've stayed in enough short-let homes to know which details matter, and we build every Be.Here. home around the ones that do.

Because a short break should feel like a real one. Whether you're here on your own with a book, around a long table with friends, or somewhere in between, the home should disappear into the background and let the weekend happen. That's the art of a great stay.
