Kingfisher: Luxury Lakehouse with Hot Tub & Kayak

Summary:
Kingfisher Lodge is a contemporary styled, luxury home on Cotswold Water Park near to Cirencester in the Cotswolds. The architecturally inspired, lakeside home sits directly on, and has stunning views over, a 28-acre lake & the property benefits from a large decking area which gives you the illusion of being suspended over the water’s edge. The house has underfloor heating & a private hot tub. 3 bedrooms sleeping up to 7 people, each with en-suite bathroom (armchair bed in master is 7th bed)

The Space:
The property is extremely well equipped and furnished to a high standard. The spacious living/kitchen/dining areas makes the property an excellent option for group holiday bookings, family gatherings or simply a short break with friends. Each bedroom is of a large size with luxurious en-suite bathrooms. The master bedroom also benefits from a private lakeside balcony with seating and has an armchair bed if required for a seventh person.. The other two bedroom have the flexibility to provide either a superking bed or two singles. One of the bedrooms/ensuite is on the ground floor for any members of your group who find it hard to negotiate stairs.

We take up to 2 well behaved dogs. For smaller breeds we may accept 3 - please discuss with us prior to booking if 3 dogs. A pet fee applies.

Outstanding accommodation & break away
This accommodation was outstanding. Such a lovely place with high quality bedding, towels and lush shampoo, conditioner, body wash and hand wash. The hot tub made it extra special being able to be outside on the lake with a bottle of fizz (even supplied that!!) Great place for a girlie trip or suitable for families and or couples. Not far from anything and a lot of places locally to visit

Most excellent stay
We loved staying in the Kingfisher lodge, it was like stepping into someone’s beautiful home, it was luxurious, comfortable the bathrooms for each bedroom were just so nice. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook up a birthday treat & to sit down at the table to enjoy it with the most magnificent views, then a dip in the spa on the deck to watch the sunset was amazing. Many thanks to the owners for the birthday cake & Prosecco which we enjoyed immensely, we didn’t want to leave.

Birthday stay
We stayed here for my boyfriend’s birthday at the beginning of November for a long weekend. The place was very tidy and clean. Everything had been thought of and included, including dressing gowns for the hot tub and spare towels to dry off our dogs. Close walk to the little local village which has a lovely indian. Overall, we had an amazing weekend and would definitely return!

A Welcome Break
What a lovely lodge to stay in. It had everything you needed and more. The owners have thought of everything, even down to a mirror with a close up view so you can put your make-up on. Plus a welcome cake.

Wonderful place to stay
Beautiful and homely accommodation in a beautiful location. The lodge is in immaculate condition with everything you need for a fantastic break. Fully equipped with all you need. Hosts Barry and Jo could not do enough. We had a couple of minor niggles on arrival (such as me pulling the door handle off) and they responded to messages in minutes and sent people over to fix the issues immediately. Absolutely fabulous stay, thank you Barry and Jo.

Immaculate lodges
The lodge was immaculate and perfect for a relaxing weekend away. The location is stunning. We have stayed previously, but in a different lodge and the high standard was consistent across both. The finishing touches like the milk, Prosecco and cake were a delight. We would highly recommend! Our only complaint would be communication, I sent emails before and after our stay that weren’t replied to, nor was my WhatsApp message acknowledged. A real shame as this wasn’t our experience last time. Finally just a suggestion that more of the rooms can be converted in to twin beds if desired.
