Experience the tranquil beauty of The Cotsworld first-hand as you overlook the water from this lakeside home. Set on an impressive acreage with many walking trails, the estate offers a welcome family escape and an opportunity to kayak on the lake. A communal swimming pool will keep the kids busy whilst parents take a well-deserved break in the spa. The outdoor seating area next to the water is irresistible, and the views from the balcony are pretty nice, too. With plenty of surrounding villages, you can hop in your car and go from one to the next to see as much of The Cotswolds as possible.
