Situated on a picturesque lakeside estate, this home boasts lovely views and a private terrace with space to dine alfresco. Two well-behaved pups are welcome to join you here for a fee and there's plenty of space for large families, with room for ten adults and two children on bunk beds. The estate offers a myriad of communal facilities, from swimming pools and a sauna to an on-site shop and restaurant. With nearby Cotswolds villages like Cirencester and Bibury just a short drive away, we recommend hiring a car to get the most out of this gorgeous location.
