Pond Lodge - Hot Tub Stay with Views & Log Burner

Summary:

Pond Lodge is a two-bedroom lakeside retreat with its own hot tub, log burner, private garden and big views across the water. It’s the original lodge at Little Horseshoe Lake - it's quiet, calm, and perfect for couples or small families. You’ll have access to wild swimming, fishing, kayaks, BBQ and walking trails around the estate. One small dog is welcome. Ideal for reconnecting - with nature, each other, or just yourself.

The Neighborhood:

The neighbourhood is full of lakes which were originally gravel pits. They have matured into a wonderful parkland and offer many activities. South Cerney is a very old village with 2 pubs and a few small shops. It dates back to the 10th century.

Cirencester offers excellent shopping, markets and good cafes and restaurants, probably the best small museum in England and a magnificent Church.



Getting Around:

A car is ideal to make the most of the area, though the 51 bus route (Cheltenham to Swindon) runs nearby, and Kemble Station is just 7 miles away with fast trains to London. Taxis should be pre-booked.
