Stroud Coastal Homes

The Waterfront Escape

• 11 guests

• 6 bedrooms

Lechlade, Gloucestershire

A mesmerising location, impeccable interior design and plenty of exciting things going on in the locale – this strikingly modern lodge perched on the banks of Bowmoor Lake, in the edge of the Cotswolds, seems to have all the luck. The views of the water from the deck, from the private beach with fire pit or even just out through the floor-to-ceiling windows are soothing, but you can easily liven things up with some water sports or outdoor activities arranged by the surrounding resort, or a visit to its world-class spa for a pampering session.

The Tudor Dream

• 4 guests

• 2 bedrooms

Tetbury, England

Residing in a line of terrace Georgian townhouses, this honey-coloured cottage is as beautiful on the outside as it is on the inside. And located within walking distance from Tetbury town centre, you'll have the town's local shops, restaurants and pubs at.

Secret Hills

• 18 guests

• 9 bedrooms

Aylburton, Lydney

Many barn conversions across the British countryside tend to be relatively small and cosy affairs, but this example in rural Gloucestershire is a comparative colossus with a wealth of social space and amenities. The design inside lies on the rustic side of things, with exposed stonework and wooden ceiling beams to be spotted alongside a wood-burning stove, a clawfoot bathtub and an ornate bed frame in the master bedroom.
