This exclusive, gated area is home to a handful of lodges and private fishing spots. Only residents of Lake Pochard can fish on this lake, making this the ultimate getaway for seasoned anglers. If fishing isn't your thing, you can enjoy a moment of quiet reflection by the water's edge or spend your time exploring all the Cotswolds Water Park has to offer. Just a short stroll away, you will find The Waterside Restaurant, offering delicious pan-Asian inspired food right on your doorstep. Rich wildlife, scenic trails, lakeside restaurants and hidden corners of natural beauty. Blending Scandinavian charm with curated elegance, this immaculate lodge has been thoughtfully decorated to an exceptional standard. Inside, a soothing, neutral palette of colours with gentle pops of vibrant accents create a serene and inviting atmosphere that perfectly complements the lodge's lakeside setting. The open plan kitchen, dining, and living area is calm and inviting, where glass doors frame the lovely view of Lake Pochard. Here, you can sit and relax in front of the wood burner, filling the room with chatter and making special memories. A veranda offers the ideal spot to relax and take notice of the abundance of wildlife and sip your morning coffee to the sound of birdsong. Two bedrooms and a bright bathroom await and offer the perfect place to relax after a day of exploring, fishing, walking and cycling around the Cotswold Water Park. There is direct access to the lake from the private veranda of Iris Lodge, and spacious green area shared with the other lodges, but with plenty of space to relax in your own little slice of nature. Breathe in the fresh Cotswold air and take in the rich wildlife, scenic trails and hidden corners that surround you. Ground Floor Living area: The bright and welcoming open plan living-kitchen-dining area is the perfect place to dine and relax. In the winter, cosy up in front of the wood burner and cheers with a glass of something special. Play board games and laugh the night away or curl up on the comfortable sofa with a good book. In the summer, open the doors to the veranda and look out over the glorious lake, letting the sunlight beam into the lodge. Kitchen/Dining area: The kitchen area also overlooks the lake and surrounding grounds, and you may even spot the roaming geese and swans whilst making your cup of tea. The kitchen is well-equipped with everything you need to whip up a feast after a day of exploring with an oven and hob, microwave, dishwasher and fridge with a separate freezer. Dine in the kitchen or prepare meals that can be taken out and enjoyed on the veranda on sunny days. Bathroom: The bathroom is easily accessed from the living/dining area and is spacious with a walk-in shower, WC and sink. Bedroom One: The master bedroom is a peaceful escape. The sun dances through the trees outside, and its warmth adds a gentle glow to the room. Little splashes of yellow are woven throughout the room, and the wooden floors are rich with the charm of nature, and rattan accents in the interiors bring an earthy, rustic feel. There is a double bed, two bedside tables with lamps and drawers for storage. Bedroom Two: The twin bedroom feels both cosy and bright, a perfect of rustic charm and tranquil warmth. Two single beds invite relaxation, with pops of yellow soft furnishings brightening the room. There is a large wardrobe in honey-toned wood with ample storage space. Outside The veranda is a perfect mix of outdoor charm and cosy shelter, offering a spectacular spot to unwind no matter the weather. With wooden flooring that complements the rustic-scandi style lodge, it's a place that invites you to relax and soak in the peaceful surroundings. Accessed through open doors from the living area, the veranda effortlessly extends the home's sense of openness, seamlessly connecting indoor and outdoor living. From here, the view of the lake is undoubtedly beautiful. There is a table and chairs with enough seating for four, and a BBQ ready for grilling, perfect for an evening with family and friends. The atmosphere is calm and the ideal spot for long, lazy afternoons or dinner under the stars. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the cabin: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Hair dryer - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room - Wood stove ### Entertainment - Games - TV ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Patio ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In a rural location - On the waterfront ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher ### General - Unit size: 700 square feet ## Similar properties ![Game room](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/111000000/110660000/110653200/110653123/e9bb0939.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Lodge Sleeps 6 with Pool and WiFi Cirencester - Pool - Pet friendly - Game room - Parking available 6.0 1 review [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-09&endDate=2026-01-10&selected=110653123&PinnedHotelID=110653123&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/107000000/106570000/106569100/106569070/793fb707.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Squirrels Drey | Hot Tub Stay in the Cotswolds Upper Minety, Malmesbury - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-09&endDate=2026-01-10&selected=106569070&PinnedHotelID=106569070&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor spa tub](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/107000000/106380000/106377600/106377562/1529e09e.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Foxes Den | Hot Tub Stay in the Cotswolds Upper Minety, Malmesbury - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 10 Exceptional 2 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-09&endDate=2026-01-10&selected=106377562&PinnedHotelID=106377562&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Lobby sitting area](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/106000000/105450000/105441300/105441203/112e232d.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Ingleside House Cirencester - Free WiFi - Restaurant - Breakfast available - Bar 9.0 Wonderful 44 reviews CA $208 CA $249 total includes taxes & fees Jan 4 - Jan 5, 2026 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-04&endDate=2026-01-05&selected=105441203&PinnedHotelID=105441203&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Restaurant](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/1000000/20000/13400/13353/5a6076af.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### No 38 The Park Cheltenham - Pet friendly - Free WiFi - Restaurant - Breakfast available 9.4 Exceptional 470 reviews CA $172 CA $206 total includes taxes & fees Jan 5 - Jan 6, 2026 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-05&endDate=2026-01-06&selected=13353&PinnedHotelID=13353&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Courtyard](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/10000000/9250000/9242000/9241983/1311ec0f.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Wild Thyme & Honey Cirencester - Pet friendly - Parking included - Free WiFi - Restaurant 9.6 Exceptional 321 reviews CA $256 CA $308 total includes taxes & fees Jan 6 - Jan 7, 2026 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-06&endDate=2026-01-07&selected=9241983&PinnedHotelID=9241983&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/24000000/23330000/23324600/23324533/c8235a1f.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### The Frogmill Cheltenham - Pet friendly - Parking included - Free WiFi - Restaurant 9.4 Exceptional 320 reviews CA $159 CA $190 total includes taxes & fees Jan 4 - Jan 5, 2026 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-04&endDate=2026-01-05&selected=23324533&PinnedHotelID=23324533&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Breakfast, lunch, dinner served;

The lake and surroundings are lovely and the lodge itself very comfortable with everything we needed- including a fab power shower! ##### Hannah Oldridge This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Annie P. Sep 14, 2025 #### Lovely place to stay Iris lodge was a joy to stay in. Fabulous location. Well stocked kitchen, whole place was very clean inside and out. Comfortable beds. We were lucky with the weather and able to make use of seating area outside overlooking the lake, extremely peaceful. Beautiful surrounding villages and great eating places particularly The Royal Oak in South Cerney where we went for evening meal. If you’re looking for somewhere for breakfast after checking out use Pennycress Garden Cafe in South Cerney where you can enjoy a wonderful atmosphere and amazing food. Coffee great too. Loved the area and would definitely recommend Iris lodge as a base. ##### Annie P. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### Teresa H. Aug 26, 2025 #### Quiet A relaxing area to stay in, very peaceful. The lodge itself was comfortable, although the double bed seemed to be a bit on the small side! The lodge would have benefited from a larger TV. The kitchen was well equipped only lacking a small frying pan and slightly bigger drinking glasses. The fridge door is very creaky. ##### Teresa H. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### Jean W. Jun 23, 2025 #### Very peaceful The location of these Lodges is excellent. Very tranquil and peaceful, the lake is lovely with swans and cygnets floating about. There were a great number of Canada geese and their goslings wandering about, but they don't interfere with the guests. The Lodge itself, Number 12, could do with a bit of an update, especially the appliances, fridge in particular which was leaky and old. The outside of the Lodge could do with a coat of varnish and really could do with a path in front of the porch and round the side, like most of the other Lodges have as the geese make a bit of a mess and you have to avoid taking it into the Lodge on your shoes! The furnishings inside are comfortable, the bathroom is great with a lovely big shower and the beds are comfortable. All in all we had a lovely stay and would definitely consider going back. We didn't go for the fishing, just a nice rest and we certainly got that. ##### Jean W. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent Sep 16, 2025 #### Lovely short stay Had a lovely time with my family on a 2 night stay. Lodge had everything we needed and very cosy. Great location and lots of things/walks to do in local area especially during the summer. Nearby restaurants really nice. Would recommend and hope to return. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Royal Whitby](https://www.expedia.ca/Whitby-Hotels-The-Royal-Hotel.h57917040.Hotel-Information) > > [Excellence Playa Mujeres - Adults Only All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Cancun-Hotels-Excellence-Playa-Mujeres-All-Inclusive-Adults-Only.h1672497.Hotel-Information) > > [Burgh Island Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Kingsbridge-Hotels-Burgh-Island-Hotel.h34611055.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Hull Marina by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Hull-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Hull-Marina.h10609.Hotel-Information) > > [The Greenway Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Cheltenham-Hotels-The-Greenway-Hotel-Spa.h520203.Hotel-Information) > > [ARIA Resort & Casino](https://www.expedia.ca/Las-Vegas-Hotels-ARIA-Resort-Casino.h2565776.Hotel-Information) > > [Cave Hotel & Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Faversham-Hotels-Cave-Hotel-Golf-Resort.h33410673.Hotel-Information) > > [Lakes Hotel and Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Windermere-Hotels-Lakes-Hotel-And-Spa.h901040.Hotel-Information) > > [Delta Hotels by Marriott Heathrow Windsor](https://www.expedia.ca/Slough-Hotels-Heathrow-Windsor-Marriott-Hotel.h3830.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Hotel Manchester City Centre, A Verified Net Zero Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Manchester-Hotels-Park-Inn-By-Radisson-Manchester-City-Centre.h2601411.Hotel-Information) > > [Pine Lake Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Carnforth-Hotels-Pine-Lake-Resort.h1928661.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Point Pelee National Park](https://www.expedia.ca/Point-Pelee-National-Park-Hotels.0-l6089413-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [The Belfry](https://www.expedia.ca/Birmingham-Hotels-The-Belfry.h3976.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Seasons Hotel Hampshire](https://www.expedia.ca/Hook-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Hotel-Hampshire.h986107.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn London-Gatwick Airport by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Horley-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-London-Gatwick-Airport.h16918.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Banff National Park](https://www.expedia.ca/Banff-National-Park-Hotels.0-l602291-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [The Porch House](https://www.expedia.ca/Cheltenham-Hotels-The-Porch-House.h4595892.Hotel-Information) > > [Millcroft](https://www.expedia.ca/Penrith-Hotels-Millcroft.h26994538.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Vancouver (YVR) to Los Angeles (LAX)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/lax/vancouver-to-los-angeles) > > [Flights from Canada](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/31/flights-from-canada) > > [Flights from Calgary (YYC) to Toronto (YYZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyc/yyz/calgary-to-toronto) > > [Flights from Vancouver (YVR) to Santa María Huatulco (HUX)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/hux/vancouver-to-huatulco) > > [Asiana Airlines](https://www.expedia.ca/Asiana-Airlines-Flights.cOZ.Travel-Guide-Airlines) > > [Flights from Vancouver (YVR) to Guangzhou (CAN)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/can/vancouver-to-guangzhou) > > [Wizz Air](https://www.expedia.ca/Wizz-Air-Flights.cW6.Travel-Guide-Airlines) > > [Flights from Montreal (YUL) to Mumbai (BOM)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yul/bom/montreal-to-mumbai) ### Packages
