Caterina Lake Lodge
SPRING LAKE, COTSWOLD WATER PARK, GLOUCESTERSHIRE
Sleeps: 6
Caterina Lake Lodge is a chic New England-style lakeside retreat with so much to offer that it is hard to know where to start! For most, the pretty clapper board-style exterior and fantastic water-front setting make a brilliant first impression, whilst the convenience of the location within steps of a family-friendly lakeside bar, brasserie and gym come a close second.
The house itself has been stylishly renovated to mirror this setting, offering super views from inside and out. Downstairs, it’s fully open plan and French doors open out onto your own private deck providing the perfect spot for alfresco dining, or simply just sit back and enjoy lakeside life! Upstairs there is a large master bedroom with a 5′ bed and full length window overlooking the lake, allowing you the same stunning views. There are two further twin/double bedrooms with 5′ zip and link beds and a family bathroom. Extra care has been taken for families, and you will find lots of special touches around the house if you are planning on taking the little ones.
Located on Spring Lake, Caterina Lake Lodge has prime position in the Cotswold Water Park, one of the best kept secrets of Gloucestershire! One of 150 lakes in an area the size of Jersey, there’s so much to explore and something for everyone. Wildlife, watersports, activities, great eateries, walking, history and culture are just some of the things you will find nearby.
The light bright interiors with family-friendly luxuries are added bonuses, whilst the fact that there’s a golf course, water sports centre, bike hire and routes, plus a choice of restaurants and pubs, within a short, scenic walk really sets it apart. Although, for most young families, the fact that the UK’s largest inland beach with a purpose built toddler paddling and playground area is within a 10-15 minute stroll is the icing on the cake.
Fire the Heart Retreats, situated on the Landings nearby, offers guests in-house rejuvenation therapies and treatments. Alternatively, treat yourself to private treatments and pampering at the house from Glo Pamper. A personal chef can also be arranged if required.
If you can tear yourselves away, Caterina Lake Lodge is ideally situated too for exploring the towns and villages of the beautiful Cotswolds region. The well-known quintessential English villages of Stow-on-the-Wold, Bibury, Bourton-on-the-Water, and Moreton-in-the-Marsh, are all within easy reach and make a great day out.
Cirencester known as ‘The Capital of the Cotswolds’, is 4 miles away, giving easy access to excellent shopping, restaurants, entertainment, ancient buildings and museums. Cheltenham (20 miles), the most complete regency town in England, is famous for its horse-racing festival in March, culminating in the Gold Cup steeplechase. At other times of year, Cheltenham hosts Festivals of Jazz, Classical Music, Science, Literature, Food & Drink.
Highgrove House, one of the homes of Prince Charles, is less than half an hour’s drive as is Westonbirt Arboretum, with its stunning new treetop walkway, the longest in the UK.
Appealing to children in particular, the nearby Cotswold Wildlife Park, the numerous attractions at Bourton-on-the-Water, and Cotswold Farm Park provide plentiful entertainment.
The cities of Bath, Bristol, Cheltenham and Oxford are all under an hour’s drive away.
Located just over an hour from London, it’s the ideal place for families or a group of friends to spend time together at any time of the year. And, for larger groups of up to 36 guests, Caterina Lake Lodge can be booked with our other houses as they are all within close proximatey of each other.

“We had a fabulous stay at this beautiful location, much helped by the weather. The Lodge was clean, easy to find and in a great location – close to all the Lakes with an excellent Lakeside Bar a few doors away. Food here was amazing as was the atmosphere. We enjoyed sitting on the decking and watching the water sports activity along with using the spot to explore and of course get on the water. “

“A great house in a good location. Very clean and in good order. The Brasserie cafe is really close and does good food. You can walk places but will probably want to drive for anything more major.”

“Kevin provided a very friendly welcome to a lovely holiday home. He even put away our shopping delivery because we were late thanks to roadworks on M6. It was a pleasure coming home and enjoying the lake view. The location was great for driving to see friends and family in different directions.”

”We enjoyed a long weekend at the Lakehouse with a 2 month old and 3 other children up to the age of 5. Lots of equipment was available for us to use from a baby gym and stair gate to a full size cot and travel cot. This made fitting us all in much easier. Kevin was a very helpful and friendly host and made us feel that nothing was too much trouble. Lovely views and a very cosy atmosphere.”

”We had an absolutely fantastic week in the Cotswolds. This property was just perfect for our needs and our 2 year old just loved feeding the ducks & swans every morning and watching the water skiers going past. There is so much to do in the area that a week just isn’t long enough. Also Kevin was the most helpful host who does everything he can to make you feel welcome and give lots of suggestions for things to do and good pubs to go to. We will be returning.”

”We had a great relaxing short break at the lake house with our 8mth old. The house has a fantastic view of the lake from the open plan living area and huge floor to ceiling windows in the master bedroom. Lots of helpful baby equipment on hand, and the owner is really friendly and helpful and full of great recommendations of things to do and places to eat. Would definitely like to return, perhaps when our little one is old enough to feed the ducks!”

”We had a superb stay in the Lake House. It’s in a great location, near to lots of child friendly places to visit and eat at. The house, itself, is spacious, clean and well equipped and Kevin, the owner, was very welcoming. Our daughter loved feeding the swans outside, and we enjoyed having the patio doors wide open, watching the view of the lake….highly recommended!”
