About this property
Egret Lodge | Lakeside Hot Tub Retreat + Kayaks
Summary:
Welcome to Egret Lodge - your glass-fronted lakeside hideaway in the heart of the Cotswolds. Set on a peaceful gated estate, this freshly refurbished retreat blends comfort and calm, with floor-to-ceiling views, a premium hot tub, and the kind of sunsets that stop you mid-sentence. With three stylish en-suite bedrooms, an open-plan living space and direct lake access, this is a place to truly unwind - with everything you need to do very little, very well.
The Space:
• 3 en-suite bedrooms, beautifully finished
• Huge windows for lake views and natural light
• Smart TV, fast WiFi, and super-comfy lounge
• Modern, well-equipped, open plan kitchen
• Gated wrap around decking - ideal for dogs or little ones
• Premium Hot Springs hot tub with sunset views
• BBQ and dining table for alfresco dining
Guest Access:
• Full, private access to the lodge
• Secure, enclosed decking with lake access
• 2 private parking spaces right outside
• Use of 2 kayaks for you to use
• Access to our private Waters Edge estate
The Neighborhood:
Egret sits within the Waters Edge estate in South Cerney, part of the Cotswold Lakes. You’re surrounded by lakes, walking trails and wildlife - 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:
You’re well connected but nicely tucked away. A car is handy if you want to explore further, but we’re just off a main road with a nearby bus stop (route from Cheltenham to Swindon). Kemble station is about 15 minutes away with direct trains to London Paddington.
Other Things to Note:
Sleeps up to 6 guests:
• 2 well-behaved dogs welcome (£30 per dog)
• 1x Travel cot and 1x high chair
• Paddleboard hire available direct
• Decorations for special occasions available
• No smoking indoors, no parties or events
• Quiet hours: 10:30PM to 8:00AM
Interaction with Guests:
We’re as hands-on (or off) as you like:
• Self check-in via key box
• 24/7 host messaging support
• On-site team for emergencies
• Digital guidebook + local tips
• Emergency contacts provided

About the host
Hosted by Housekeepers
We are Barry and Jo and we have an amazing collection of Cotswold holiday lodges on Cotswold Water Park near the old Roman town of Cirencester with most of them dog friendly.
We’ve been coming to this beautiful area for many years and about 5 years ago we decided to make the move permanent. We set up our company in 2018, starting with our own holiday home on Windrush lake but as you can see from our portfolio now, we have grown quite considerably!We love to travel and just before the “you know what pandemic” we spent 12 months travelling around the world ending up in New Zealand for Christmas and New Year and then working our way up to Hawaii and North, Central and South America. We think we know what it takes to get a place right for our fantastic guests but we are always learning!
We couldn’t do this without our fantastic team which is growing year by year. Unlike many of the larger companies selling holiday lets we, and our team, know all of our properties intimately because we provide the full service from cleaning and hosting through to managing the hot tubs, the plants on the decking and even window cleaning! Jo, Adele and Meg are the last ones to visit your holiday lodge just before you get there to make sure the place is perfect for your stay – you may even bump into one of them on your way in!
