The Neighborhood:
Heron Lodge sits within the Waters Edge estate in South Cerney, part of the Cotswold Lakes. You’re surrounded by lakes, walking trails and wildlife - that'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.

Lovely place

We had a great stay at the Heron Lodge. The property had everything you could’ve asked for and was in a lovely, quiet area of the water park.

Friends get together

Perfect location and lovely house which was well equipped for all our needs. Only one comment, the overhead shower in the ground floor bedroom meant that you’d get your hair wet every shower. A built in hand held attachment would have been great. Many thanks for the cake and wine, we had a great reunion.

8/10 Good

Heron Lodge

We were delighted with the lodge for what it offered and was in a great location. Cleanliness was superb and standard of furnishings were high. Unfortunately there was a problem with setting the heating 30degrees in the bedrooms when we arrived, sadly the downstairs bedroom was always cold. It was difficult to get a good temperature after that. The warm water supply was also an issue, only enough warm water for 3 showers the first day and despite putting on boost and the immersion, as advised when we rang, we had periods of no hot water Wednesday night through to Thursday. Not ideal especially with a baby. With resolution of heating and water issues, we would not hesitate recommending the lodge
