Stylish pet-friendly waterfront retreat on Spring Lake in the Cotswold Water Park

For Covid-19 cancellations, Staycation Holidays offer a full money back guarantee. If you or we have to cancel your booking due to government restrictions relating to Covid - you will receive a full refund, or you may decide to choose alternative dates.

Welcome to Swan Lake Lodge, our chic New England-style lakeside retreat with plenty of room for six.

Located on Spring Lake, our lodge has prime position in the Cotswold Water Park, one of the best kept secrets of Gloucestershire! One of 150 lakes in an area the size of Jersey, there’s so much to explore and something for everyone.

Like the name suggests, from the deck you can feed the resident swans and ducks that are very friendly. And you may be lucky enough to spot woodpeckers, herons and great crested grebes as well. There is also an abundance of watersports, activities, great eateries, walking, history and culture to discover nearby.

Our chic New England-style lakeside retreat has so much to offer it that it is hard to know where to start! For most, the pretty clapper board-style exterior and fantastic water-front setting make a brilliant first impression, whilst the convenience of the location within steps of a family-friendly lakeside bar, brasserie and gym come a close second.

This contemporary and charming lodge offers light and airy accommodation with panoramic lake views from inside and out. Downstairs, its open plan living and dining area flows out onto a private deck via French doors – a perfect spot for alfresco dining or simply to sit back and enjoy lakeside life! There is also a fully equipped U-shaped kitchen and handy downstairs shower room.

Upstairs there is a large master bedroom with a 5' bed and full length window overlooking the lake, allowing you the same stunning views. There are two further twin/double bedrooms with 5' zip and link beds offering flexible sleeping accommodation and a family bathroom. Extra care has been taken for families, and you will find lots of special touches around the house if you are planning on taking the little ones.

The light bright interiors with family-friendly luxuries are added bonuses, whilst the fact that there’s a golf course, water sports centre, bike hire and routes, plus a choice of restaurants and pubs, within a short, scenic walk really sets it apart. Although, for most young families, the fact that the UK’s largest inland beach with a purpose built toddler paddling and playground area is within a 10-15 minute stroll is the icing on the cake.

8/10 Good

Great location, good space for 5
We enjoyed our stay at Swan Lake Lodge. There was a couple of small items missing from the kitchen that would have been useful : slotted spoon/potato peeler and corkscrew. The tumble dryer element of the washing machine doesn’t work which wasn’t ideal as we had a number of rainy days. The view is lovely and the apartment is spacious . The owner was easily and quickly contacted when we didn’t have the WiFi code. All in all it was a good choice and we very much enjoyed our week.

Cleanliness
The location of the accommodation was wonderful, we experienced wonderful weather which added to the relaxing atmosphere. We were very disappointed in the cleanliness of the establishment and failure to check that all plugs etc worked prior to the new guests moving in for their stay. To have to ring on a Sunday to make a complaint which was noted prior to us moving in is very sloppy. I do accept that the response to our complaint was immediate however it should not have occurred in the first instance. Downstairs shower room actually had cobwebs in the shower (top left hand back corner). Not what you would expect to see. We were told upon arrival that new cleaners were being trialled, if however this is their standard whilst trying to impress it leaves a lot to the imagination.

10/10 Excellent
