We loved sitting in the hot tub watching the birds on the water with a glass of wine in hand. The place was plenty big enough with decent size rooms, enough seating for everyone and the kitchen was well equipped. We relaxed with beauty treatments and had a fun trip to to try archery at the Cotswold range. We even managed a gentle paddle across the lake using the canoe from the house.

The setting on the lake was peaceful and private with amazing sunsets. The hot tub, bbq and kayak were additional pluses. The property location was perfect, allowing us all to do varied activities such as bird watching, paddleboarding, horse riding and fishing - something for everyone within short distance. Also, two picture perfect cotswolds villages within walking distance and we manged to fit in an evening meal at Asha at The Crown, Cerney Wick, which we highly recommend. Loved our time here and didn't want to leave. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Helen S. Jun 29, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Fantastic getaway We stayed at the Water's Edge Lake resort for a weekend to celebrate my 50th birthday. The lodges are stunning & you couldn't ask for a more beautiful location. The weather was fantastic so we enjoyed using the hot tub of an evening whilst the sunset. Would highly recommend. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/e35690f1-c993-4044-863c-18a58eb4e70d-1751217386538.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/f6867814-fd64-4ce2-88dd-70d9da65cb19-1751217386699.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/e77ce5f6-e7fc-4c82-a01a-2069aec0eaab-1751217386822.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/a3cea415-44f0-4aa1-832c-25b8893b1f8f-1751217386897.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Helen S.
