About this property
Grebe Lodge | Cotswold Lakehouse & Hot Tub
Summary:
Grebe Lodge is a contemporary lakeside home designed for relaxed get-togethers, easy luxury and full-on views across the water. With four bedrooms, four bathrooms, and a large sundeck that floats right over the lake, it’s made for families, friends, or any group looking to slow down in a beautiful setting.
The Space:
4 bedrooms | sleeping 8 guests
• Ground floor ensuite - great for accessibility
• Master bedroom with private balcony and lake views
• One bedroom can be made up as twin or king
• Large open-plan kitchen, dining and lounge
• Smart TV, sound system, fast WiFi
• Utility room with washing machine & tumble dryer
• Hot tub on enclosed lakefront deck
• BBQ and outdoor seating for 8
• Dog-friendly (up to 2 well-behaved dogs)
Guest Access:
• Full, private access to the entire lodge
• Enclosed deck with safety fencing and direct lake access
• Free private parking for 2 cars
• Secure entry to our Waters Edge gated estate
The Neighborhood:
Grebe 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:
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.
Other Things to Note:
• 2 well-behaved dogs welcome (£30 per dog)
• 1x Travel cot and 1x high chair available
• Decorations for special occasions available
• Paddleboard hire available
• No smoking indoors, no parties or events
• Quiet hours: 10:30PM to 8:00AM
Interaction with Guests:
We’re here when you need us:
• Self check-in via key box

• Digital guidebook with 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!
