Modern Cotswolds lakeside retreat, spa and pool

Summary:

Tranquility Lodge is based on Lower Mill Lakes – a lakeside Cotswold estate that has a host of activities and experiences to keep everyone engaged for the length of your stay. From tennis courts to paddle boarding lessons, spa days and playgrounds, even indoor soft play if you have younger members of the family with you.



The Space:

Tranquility Lodge sleeps up to six guests across three bedrooms, including two double rooms and bunk beds. The open-plan living space includes a fully equipped kitchen, dining area for six and a Smart TV with fast and reliable WIFI.



Outside, the enclosed, glass-fronted terrace looks out over the lake and offers a quiet spot for meals, reading or simply taking things slowly during your stay.



Guest Access:

You’ll have full private use of the lodge and access to the wider Lower Mill Lakes and the incredible facilities throughout your stay. Parking is available on-site, with one allocated space and additional room for visitors.



Shared Spaces:

You’ll be staying in Lower Mill Lakes, a dedicated holiday estate, which means you also get access to an amazing range of shared outdoor spaces and facilities. It’s a relaxed, family-friendly setting, with plenty to dip in and out of throughout your stay. Across the estate, you’ll find indoor and outdoor swimming pools, spa and wellness facilities, tennis courts and multi-use sports courts, along with children’s playgrounds and an indoor soft play area (a rare find).



Explore all the lakes have to offer by fishing, kayaking and paddleboarding, with cycling routes, walking trails and wildlife-rich grounds running throughout. Some facilities and activities may be subject to availability or additional charges depending on the time of your stay.



Nearby Food & Drink:

Even though you have a full kitchen, sometimes it’s nice to make life a little easier and have someone else do the cooking for a change. Thankfully, at Lower Mill Lakes there’s a great mix of food and drink options across the estate, giving you flexibility throughout your stay without needing to travel far. Whether you’re planning a proper meal or just need a few extra bits, Ballihoo Restaurant serves relaxed breakfasts, lunches and dinners on site, while The Pizza Shack offers wood-fired pizza for easy takeaway. You’ll also find The Snug for drinks and light bites, the Wine Room at Ballihoo with its self-serve wine dispenser, and Ballihoo Market for essentials, fresh bread and ready-made meals. For a short walk beyond the estate, The Baker’s Arms pub in Somerford Keynes is only around 15 minutes away.



The Neighborhood:

Set within the beautiful Cotswold Lakes, you’re surrounded by over 180 lakes, woodland trails and quiet village lanes. The landscape feels open, green and peaceful in every direction. It's the perfect space to be active and explore, ideal for cycling, paddle-boarding, or just walking and enjoying the abundant wildlife and fresh air.



South Cerney is only a few minutes away and is one of the area’s most established villages. Think traditional stone cottages, small, friendly shops, lovely pubs and delightful cafés. Tree-lined lanes and village greens all lead directly towards scenic lakeside routes, so nature’s nearby even when you’re shopping.



Cirencester is about 10-15 minutes by car and offers boutique shopping, restaurants, markets, and a rich sense of history. Kemble Station is also close, with direct trains into London, making this spot practical for quick weekend visits as well as longer stays.



Other Things to Note:

The house is pet friendly. One well-behaved dog is welcome for £35. A travel cot and high chair are provided. Paddleboard hire is available on request, and decoration services can be arranged for special occasions.



Quiet hours run from 10:30PM to 8AM, and we ask guests to respect the peaceful setting: No parties, and no smoking indoors.



Interaction with Guests:

Everybody finds peace in a different way, and that’s how it should be. From the moment you book, you decide the pace, and we’ll be there to help you plan, and create moments that really matter. It’s that little extra layer of support we offer to make sure everything runs smoothly. Thoughtful service, that never gets in the way of a good moment.



Whether that means a slow morning with a fresh pot of tea and a long soak, or a day out exploring neighbourhoods and nature - we’ll guide you, so it all unfolds just the way you’ve pictured it.
