About this property

Libelle

Summary:

Welcome to Libelle - a modern lakeside home with everything you need to truly unwind. Set in the heart of The Cotswolds, this three-bedroom retreat blends open-plan living, contemporary interiors with wide open views of the water. You’ve got your own private hot tub, and each bedroom has an en-suite bathroom, one of which is on the ground floor (ideal for guests who prefer to avoid stairs). Whether you’re here with friends or family, Libelle is a calm, luxurious base to relax, and reset.

• Sleeps 6 across 3 en-suite bedrooms

• Master suite with private lake-view balcony

• Ground-floor en-suite bedroom for accessible stays

The Neighborhood:

Libelle Lodge sits within the Waters Edge estate in South Cerney, part of the Cotswold Lakes. You’re surrounded by lakes, walking trails and wildlife - It's perfect for a morning paddle or golden hour stroll. The village has great pubs, coffee stops and local shops, and you’re only 15 minutes from Cirencester for markets, dining, and a bit of Roman charm. Think nature on your doorstep, but everything you need close by.



Getting Around:

A car is ideal for exploring the surrounding villages and lakes. That said, Kemble Station (direct trains from London) is just 7 miles away, and the 51 bus runs from the end of the lane to Cirencester and Swindon. Once you arrive, walking and cycling are great ways to enjoy the peaceful landscape.

What an amazing stay in a truly gorgeous property. Calming, relaxing, spotlessly clean and so well equipped with everything you could ever need for a relaxing few days away. Super comfortable, a quiet location - a true escape from reality. The hosts were attentive if needed, but tbh everything you needed to ask was already dealt with. A truly wonderful stay in a very special place, looked after by excellent hosts.We will return for sure

Beautiful stay!

We stayed in Libelle lodge for a little ‘minimoon’ break after we got married. We were blown away when we arrived at the beautiful interior and stunning lake views. Fantastic hot tub and little snug areas around the lodge to relax and cosy up. We didn’t even leave the lodge that much in the end we enjoyed it so much! Would love to visit again. Thanks to the whole team. ✨
