Swans Rest Lakeside Retreat with Kayaks & Hot Tub

Summary:

Swans’ Rest pairs panoramic lake views from its raised four-poster principal bedroom with calm, understated interiors and open-plan living. Quiet, comfortable corners throughout, a full kitchen and lakeside decking with hot tub make this the perfect place to slow down, while tennis courts, games rooms and the lake itself are all right at your door.



The Space:

Swans’ Rest sleeps up to seven guests across three bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with a four-poster king-size bed and en-suite, a double bedroom, and a bunk room with a double bed below and a single above. There’s also a family bathroom and a downstairs toilet.



The open-plan kitchen and lounge space is designed for easy group stays, with everything you need for relaxed meals and time together. Outside, the enclosed wraparound decking looks out over the lake and features a private hot tub, outdoor dining area, BBQ and gated access down to the water. A kayak is included for gentle paddles on the lake.



Guest Access:

You’ll have full use of the house, the enclosed wraparound decking, the outdoor dining area and the BBQ. The decking has direct access to the lake, and private parking is right outside the property. You’ll also have access to shared facilities across the estate, including tennis courts, games room, playgrounds and fishing lakes.



Check in from 4PM and check out by 10AM.



You can arrive at your own pace with self check-in via key box, just give us a call if you have any issues.



The Neighborhood:

Set within the beautiful Cotswold Lakes, you’re surrounded by over 180 lakes, woodland trails and quiet village lanes. The landscape feels open, green and peaceful in every direction. It's the perfect space to be active and explore, ideal for cycling, paddle-boarding, or just walking and enjoying the abundant wildlife and fresh air.



South Cerney is only a few minutes away and is one of the area’s most established villages. Think traditional stone cottages, small, friendly shops, lovely pubs and delightful cafés. Tree-lined lanes and village greens all lead directly towards scenic lakeside routes, so nature’s nearby even when you’re shopping.



Cirencester is about 10-15 minutes by car and offers boutique shopping, restaurants, markets, and a rich sense of history. Kemble Station is also close, with direct trains into London, making this spot practical for quick weekend visits as well as longer stays.



Other Things to Note:

The house is pet friendly. Two well-behaved dogs are welcome (£35 per dog). A travel cot and high chair are provided. Paddleboard hire is available on request, and decoration services can be arranged for special occasions.



Quiet hours run from 10:30PM to 8AM, and we ask guests to respect the peaceful setting: No parties, and no smoking indoors.



Interaction with Guests:

Everybody finds peace in a different way, and that’s how it should be. From the moment you book, you decide the pace, and we’ll be there to help you plan, and create moments that really matter. It’s that little extra layer of support we offer to make sure everything runs smoothly. Thoughtful service, that never gets in the way of a good moment.



Whether that means a slow morning with a fresh pot of tea, or a day out exploring neighbourhoods and nature - we’ll guide you, so it all unfolds just the way you’ve pictured it.
