Butterflies in the Blue

Lakeside living awaits at this contemporary, pet-friendly lodge perched beside the banks of Howells Mere Lagoon in the heart of the Cotswold's Water Park. Part of an exclusive holiday estate, shared perks include eight lakes for water sports, three swimming pools, an award-winning spa, and an on-site restaurant. After a little more seclusion? There are hundreds of acres of green space to explore. Then head back home to the privacy of the lodge's two decked terraces or impressive atrium living room with a log burner. The views of the lake are sensational wherever you choose to be.
