Gaze out across the lake with up to two contented canines at your feet as you plan long walks in the beautiful Cotswolds. Overlooking Spring Lake, near the Gloucestershire village of South Cerney, this New England-style waterside home is close to footpaths and trails through its undulating, scenic surroundings. Sleeping up to six guests, as well as two perfect pups, the property also enjoys access to the Cotswold Water Park, with its opportunities for water sports and other activities, including exceptional dog walking.

Relax in the bright space of this stunning, lakeside lodge, with its open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner. Pull open the French doors to allow your furry pals to pad in and out on warm days. Relax on the comfortable seating while you take in the view, watch TV or simply spend some quality time with your happy hounds. There’s a stylish kitchen for preparing holiday feasts for everyone and a ground-floor shower room with WC. Head up to the first floor to find a shared bathroom and three stylish bedrooms, one with gorgeous lake views. Enjoy breakfast in the morning and BBQs in the evening out on the balcony as often as possible.

Let furry noses sniff the fresh air and soft ears prick up at the thought of all the exciting walks your party can enjoy from here. Explore the 40 square miles and 150 lakes of the Cotswold Water Park; wander beside rivers and canals, and through beautiful areas of woodland. On hot days, take your happy hounds to the lakeside beach, about 3.5 miles away, where there is a designated dog swimming area. Enjoy a 5-mile circular walk from South Cerney and stop on your return at one of the three pubs in the village that all welcome four-legged friends.

The Lake house is a wonderful place to stay, it has a lovely ambiance inside and out. Being an end house and sitting over the lake it`s the perfect spot to chill out and enjoy the variety of birds. We would be very happy to return. We were welcomed with coffee and a bottle of wine.

Extremely disappointed and not worth the money. Inside the property is better but overall there were too many small things which lead us to feel it really isn't worth the money including stained carpet in the bedroom,' Bits' in the crockery, half a toilet roll in a bathroom, luke warm 'hot' water.
