10/10 Excellent

Beautiful stay!
We stayed in Libelle lodge for a little ‘minimoon’ break after we got married. We were blown away when we arrived at the beautiful interior and stunning lake views. Fantastic hot tub and little snug areas around the lodge to relax and cosy up. We didn’t even leave the lodge that much in the end we enjoyed it so much! Would love to visit again. Thanks to the whole team. ✨

About the host

Hosted by Housekeepers

Host profile image
We are Barry and Jo and we have an amazing collection of Cotswold holiday lodges on Cotswold Water Park near the old Roman town of Cirencester with most of them dog friendly.
We’ve been coming to this beautiful area for many years and about 5 years ago we decided to make the move permanent. We set up our company in 2018, starting with our own holiday home on Windrush lake but as you can see from our portfolio now, we have grown quite considerably!We love to travel and just before the “you know what pandemic” we spent 12 months travelling around the world ending up in New Zealand for Christmas and New Year and then working our way up to Hawaii and North, Central and South America. We think we know what it takes to get a place right for our fantastic guests but we are always learning!

We couldn’t do this without our fantastic team which is growing year by year. Unlike many of the larger companies selling holiday lets we, and our team, know all of our properties intimately because we provide the full service from cleaning and hosting through to managing the hot tubs, the plants on the decking and even window cleaning! Jo, Adele and Meg are the last ones to visit your holiday lodge just before you get there to make sure the place is perfect for your stay – you may even bump into one of them on your way in!

Why they chose this property

Whether your preference is for high-octane mechanised water sport, the more gentle and sedate wind or oar-powered sports or maybe experience the fantastic walks and cycle rides the area has to offer. Or maybe you just want to spend the time relaxing in and around the lodge and hot tub. Cotswold Water Park Retreats is the place from which to base yourself.
The Cotswolds is a great place to visit – it combines chocolate box charm with attractive Cotswold stone properties. It really does have something for everyone – see our Local Area page and ‘like’ our Facebook page for more ideas of places to visit and things to do plus special offers
