4 Bed Lodge in Somerford Keynes

About this property

Set amid lakeside trails, rivers, and hundreds of acres of green space on the idyllic Lower Mill Estate, this serene retreat offers families and groups of friends the ultimate getaway in the Cotswolds. Whether you’re an outdoor adventurer or a relaxed rambler, there is something for everyone to enjoy across the grounds of the Lower Mill Estate. Reconnect with nature and wildlife by walking or cycling the winding trails through the nature reserve or by boarding a paddleboard or kayak on the lakes. The Leisure & Wellness Club on-site makes relaxing with loved ones a breeze. A visit to Cotswold Country Park & Beach (1 mile), the UK’s largest inland beach, is not to be missed, with even more outdoor activities to enjoy, from an AquaVenture water course to pedalo boats. Known as the ‘Capital of the Cotswolds’, the historic market town of Cirencester can be reached within 6 miles.

Thoughtfully designed to maximise views across the lakes, you’ll find three blissful bedrooms on the ground floor, two of which open out onto the lovely decking area that overlooks Howell's Mere Lake. The first peaceful king-size bedroom and charming double bedroom share a contemporary Jack-and-Jill bathroom. A delightful second king-size bedroom and family shower room complete the ground floor. The first floor features a spacious open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner that opens onto balconies at the front and back. Magnificent floor-to-ceiling windows provide abundant natural light and frame wonderful views across Howell's Mere Lake, keeping you connected to your stunning surroundings at every turn. Sit back and enjoy the view from the comfort of the plush sofas; on a fine evening, throw open the patio doors to the delightful balcony to make the most of alfresco living. At the other end of the open-plan living space, the kitchen and dining table provide everything you need to enjoy local treats with the whole party. The lovely balcony, opening from the dining space, offers additional outdoor space to enjoy drinks and meals in the fresh lakeside air. On the second floor, the third king-size bedroom provides a calm sanctuary to retire to, with a handy en-suite shower room.

During the warmer months, enjoy the beautiful Cotswold countryside by dining alfresco on the ground floor decking area, admiring views across Howell's Mere Lake before stargazing in the clear, dark skies. There’s something for everyone to enjoy across the surrounding Lower Mill Estate, with shared facilities spanning from nature walks and mountain bike trails to an indoor pool and tennis court. There is private parking for one car, with additional parking available at the main car park on-site.
