A lush lakeside retreat awaits at this cosy cabin. It sits on a wonderful lake resort in Lechlade-on-Thames, just outside the southern edge of the Cotswolds, so it's ideal for hikers and cyclists as well as lovers of water sports. The cabin is traditional yet stylish, with boho decor that makes it feel like a peaceful haven – and there's a deck over the lake where you can sip your morning coffee. You'll have access to some fantastic communal facilities here, such as the on-site spa, friendly cafe and 850 acres of leafy green spaces.
