Shelduck Lodge - Pet-friendly Cotswold Lake House | House in Cirencester

Perched on the water’s edge, Shelduck Lodge is a chic New England-style retreat sleeping six. Located on Spring Lake, our lake house 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.
Like the name suggests, from the deck you can feed the resident ducks that are very friendly. And you may be lucky enough to spot woodpeckers, herons and great crested grebes as well. There is also an abundance of watersports, activities, great eateries, walking, history and culture to discover nearby.
With a pretty clapper board-style exterior, the fantastic water-front setting makes a brilliant first impression, whilst the convenience of the location within steps of a family-friendly lakeside bar, brasserie, gym and a great children’s play area come a close second.
Our contemporary and charming lake house offers light bright interiors and panoramic lake views from inside and out. Downstairs, its open plan living and dining area flows out onto a private deck via French doors – the perfect spot for sizzling steaks on the barbecue or simply sitting back to enjoy lakeside life. There is also a fully equipped kitchen and handy downstairs shower room.
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 offering flexible sleeping accommodation and a family shower room.
Water sports, activities, great eateries, walking, history and culture are just some of the things you will find nearby. 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.
