4 Bedroom Cottage in Somerford Keynes

Situated on the banks of Clearwater Lake, this four-bedroom waterside retreat offers a homely getaway for either families or groups of friends in the heart of the Cotswolds Lakes. On a private estate with incredible facilities, it’s the ideal base for anyone who loves outdoor activities. Get out on the water in a kayak, canoe or paddleboard (hire available on-site), walk the trails through the nature reserve, swim in one of the three pools, or simply relax in the wellness spa. Younger children are well catered for, with a treasure trail, arts and crafts activities and indoor soft play. You won’t need to go far if you feel like venturing beyond the estate’s boundaries: within just a mile you can reach the village pub, the Cotswold Sculpture Park and the UK’s largest inland beach. The historic town of Cirencester is just 6 miles away.


Set over two floors that maximise breathtaking views, this impressive property is accessed via a footpath and a small bridge. Magnificent floor-to-ceiling windows make the most of natural light and the incredible vistas over the lake. Featuring a reverse-level design, there are three bedrooms on the ground floor; two elegant en-suite double bedrooms, both with direct access to the lakeside deck, and a blissful twin bedroom. The twin bedroom shares the family bathroom with the charming bunk bedroom on the first floor. Also on the first floor is the fabulous, open-plan living space, where everyone can gather to cook, chat, eat and relax amongst stunning lake views. The contemporary kitchen offers everything you need to cook up a feast, as well as a handy breakfast bar that caters for three guests. The adjacent lounge/dining area is just as beautiful, featuring a high, vaulted ceiling and huge windows that frame magnificent views. This is the perfect spot to linger over delicious meals before sinking into the comfortable seating for a quiet evening at the end of a busy day’s adventure. There’s a TV and a DVD player for entertainment and, in cooler months (or after a day on the water), you can light the wood burner for a comforting glow.


Sliding doors lead from the lounge/diner to the first-floor balcony, where you can sit back and enjoy the fresh air and lake views with a morning coffee or a sundowner. The ground-floor, lakeside deck features a dining table and chairs for six, a BBQ and a hot tub, making this an idyllic spot for dining alfresco and relaxing after days spent outdoors. There is private parking for one car near the property, with additional parking in the main site car park.
