About this property

Island | Private Lake Retreat + Hot Tub Escape

𝗦𝘂𝗺𝗺𝗮𝗿𝘆:

This home is named “Island” simply because it feels like one as you look across the water. Wake to lake views from bed, sunlight slowing you down before the day even begins. The decking quite literally floats on the lake, with kayaks for sunrise paddles and warm, quiet evenings by the log burner. Peaceful, simple and made for noticing just how still life can be.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗲:

Island Lodge is an architect-designed, glass-fronted retreat set right on the water. The mezzanine bedroom overlooks the lake, and the open-plan living space has a log burner, underfloor heating and full-height windows that frame calm mornings and slow evenings. You’ll find a Smart TV with streaming apps, Bluetooth speaker, Starlink WiFi, and a fully equipped kitchen with a Nespresso machine. A quiet, elegant space for two.

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 3PM and check out by 10AM.

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

Little Horseshoe Lake is a peaceful, private, gated estate just outside South Cerney, surrounded by nature yet close to everything you need.

𝗢𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗡𝗼𝘁𝗲:

Please no dogs or pets. This is also an adult-only retreat, though babes-in-arms are welcome.

Quiet hours run from 10PM to 8AM, and we ask guests to respect the peaceful setting: No parties, and no smoking indoors.

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.

About the host

Hosted by Be.Here.

Host profile image
We're Be.Here. Stays, a boutique property management company that looks after a hand-picked collection of exceptional homes in the Cotswolds.

Every property in our portfolio has been personally selected, styled and maintained to a high standard, because we believe the space you stay in genuinely shapes the quality of your break. We're not a listing agency. We manage every home directly, which means consistent quality, attentive service and a team that genuinely loves what they do.

Beyond the homes themselves, we offer a guest concierge service to help make your stay truly effortless. Whether that's recommending the best local restaurants, arranging a private chef, organising activities or sourcing that little something extra to make a special occasion feel memorable. However much or little support you need, we're here for it.

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.
