Serendipity | Cotswold Lakehouse | Hot Tub & Kayak

Summary:
Serendipity is made for those special moments - sunset toasts on the deck, birthday dinners that stretch into the night, or family getaways that just feel easy. With panoramic lake views, a hot tub, and room for eight, it’s built for slow mornings, shared meals and catching up properly. Inside, it’s calm and light, with a kayak, games, and multiple balconies for peaceful pauses. Whether you’re celebrating or just reconnecting, it’s a place you’ll want to linger.

The Space:
• Sleeps 8 across 4 relaxed, light-filled bedrooms
• 4 bathrooms — no awkward queues or towel standoffs
• Two upstairs bedrooms have private balconies
• Open-plan kitchen, dining + lounge for easy catch-ups
• Panoramic lake views that stop you mid-scroll
• Enclosed deck with hot tub + charcoal BBQ
• Table football inside - someone’s bound to get competitive
• Kayak + paddle boards included - glide out whenever
• Dog-friendly for 2 well-behaved pups (they deserve it too)

Guest Access:
• Full private access to the entire home
• Direct lake access, and water sports
• Private parking for up to four cars
• Entry to our gated Waters Edge estate
• A calm, design-led space with all the essentials

The Neighborhood:
Serendipity sits within the Waters Edge estate in South Cerney, part of the Cotswold Water Park. 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:
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.

Beautiful stay!

It was a family trip to celebrate a 40th birthday, and from the moment we walked through the door we were wowed! The views are beautiful, and the house itself was furnished to a high standard. The location is good for walks and locals pubs/restaurants. I managed to charge my EV car nearby which was handy. The bedrooms were quiet, and the bathrooms were lovely! Overall no reason no to revisit in the future! Thank you!

Family Getaway - Fabulous House

We stayed for a family get together, a great view up the lake, facilities were fantastic. The open plan room downstairs worked well allowing space in all areas according to what the party wanted to do. The hot tub under the canopy area was great & provided shelter from the elements (not the warmest of weekends). As usual from Cotswold Waterpark Retreats - a fabulous home, presentation & cleanliness fabulous ~ would definitely recommend & we can’t wait to have another stay.

Beautiful house!

We stayed for 2 nights and it was perfect - except the weather! But the house had everything we needed. We even managed to get out on the water with the Kayak included with the house. The bbq and hot tub were a lovely treat and the house had adequate outdoor seating. The house was spotless and included lovely towels, robes and toiletries. We definitely wouldn’t hesitate to go book again x
