Island | Private Lake Retreat + Hot Tub Escape
Summary:
Tucked away on a quiet stretch of Little Horseshoe Lake, Island is a sleek, glass-fronted stay with its own hot tub, kayaks and multiple sun-drenched decks. Perfect for couples or solo escapes, this lodge gives you space to fully switch off - with trails to wander, wild water to swim in, and not a neighbour in sight. Just you, the water, and that exhale you didn’t know you needed.
Dates gone? Check The Boathouse, Willow or Waterlily - same design, same lake, same magic.

The Neighborhood:
Little Horseshoe Lake is a private gated retreat with just five homes on two tranquil lakes. You’re in South Cerney, surrounded by peaceful nature but only a short drive from the independent charm of Cirencester and the 180+ lakes that make up the Cotswold Lakes.
