Property Details
The Boathouse is a glass-fronted lodge for two, sitting on the edge of a private lake in South Cerney. Architect-designed and built to face the water, it’s made for people who want to genuinely switch off. Mornings here begin with light across the lake, whether you’re out in a kayak at sunrise or still in bed, coffee in hand, watching from the mezzanine window.
Afternoons drift by on the sun deck or in the hot tub, where the only sound is birdsong and the quiet ripple of the water. When evening falls, the log burner glows, the stars come out and the world beyond these shores feels a long way off.
This is where you come to slow down. And if you’d rather stay wrapped in a blanket all weekend, that’s an excellent choice too.

Exploring nearby
The Boathouse sits within Little Horseshoe Lake, a private gated estate of just five homes across two tranquil lakes. You’re in South Cerney, surrounded by open Cotswold countryside, yet within easy reach of everything the area has to offer.
Within a 10-minute walk you’ll find more than 10 pubs, cafes and restaurants, including award-winning dining and relaxed local spots. The village itself has stone cottages, independent shops and lanes that connect directly to the wider Cotswold Water Park, a landscape of over 180 lakes ideal for cycling, paddleboarding and walking.
Cirencester, the Cotswolds’ largest market town, is 10 to 15 minutes by car: boutique shops, restaurants, a twice-weekly market and nearly 2,000 years of Roman history.
Kemble Station is 7 miles away with direct trains to London Paddington, making The Boathouse a practical escape for city-based couples as well as those already in the region.
