About this apartment rental
Swap the big smoke for the great outdoors at this luxurious Cotswolds lakeside estate, located just a five-minute drive from the pretty market town of Lechlade-on-Thames.
Surrounded by rolling meadows, woodland, and pristine waters and offering a five-star concierge service (think private dining with a bartender and spa treatments), this is lakeside living, but not as you know it.
Conceived by Philippe Starck, with eye-popping interiors designed by Kelly Hoppen and Jade Jagger (to name a few), and zip-lining and forest activities created by the likes of Ben Fogle – this place has been given the star treatment.
Inside the lodge, a chef-worthy kitchen is ready to put to use for a big dinner party. But if you fancy a night off cooking, let a private chef take the reins for fine dining while you soak up the lakeside magic outside – there's room for you all around the outside dining table for alfresco meals beneath the stars. Then take things inside and spill into the open-plan living space (the wood-effect fireplace keeps things extra toasty in winter months) or sneak away to the cosy snug with a good book for some time out.
When it's time to get active, you can enjoy wild swimming or paddle about in the home's kayak. Or take it easy with a relaxing afternoon in the spa – an indoor swimming pool and sauna are at the ready.
