OUR HOME AND THE LAKES
Bowmore Lodge is not your typical rental property, its our second home that we rent occasionally.

The House

The Lakes is built on six clear water lakes. Bowmore Lodge is built on the edge of the estate’s largest lake, Bowmore. South-facing, the open-plan home is bathed in natural light all year around.

Because it is our family holiday home, Bowmore Lodge is designed and furnished to a very high level. We want our guests to feel as at home as we do.

Bowmore Lodge, which is 3,500 sq ft, offers a wide range of amenities. For the children we provide: travel cot, high chair, booster chairs, stair gates, and a wide range of board games to keep everyone entertained. We also have a large TV / play room, with a pool table. The lodge includes a wood-burning fireplace inside and a beach area and fire-pit outside, with logs supplied. Guests are welcome to swim in the lake and use our kayaks, canoe and paddle board (which can be used late spring and throughout the summer). The kitchen is fully equipped but if you wish to relax, the Lakes concierge service is happy to arrange bespoke catering from breakfast hampers to a chef for a special dinner party, or pop over to Elsa cafe in the teepee for a coffee or bite to eat.

Guests can have access to all the facilities at the Lakes, including tennis courts, boating fishing (Spring and Summer months), zip wire, play ground Spa and Gym (between the hours of 2-5pm).

We have a wonderful caretaker called Emma who's on hand to help with anything, plus the Lakes Concierge Service with a range of 5 star services

Dip into a refreshing pool after tennis and a gym session, book a spa treatment, then go boating and try out the zip wire. All of these are available on the estate.

Lakes by Yoo is set in the heart of the Cotswolds, between Lechlade on Thames and Fairford. The Cotswolds region is famous for its beautiful quintessentially English countryside and villages, charming local pubs, antiques fairs and village fetes.

The estate provides access to a simpler rural life, with weekends spent browsing local farmers markets and farm shops replacing the supermarket run, and fresh produce can be delivered directly, probably by the butcher or cheese maker themselves.

The Lakes are ideally located to explore the Cotswolds, designated an area of outstanding natural beauty, with close proximity to many renowned Cotswold towns such as Bourton on the Water (the Venice of the Cotswolds), Burford, Stow on the Wold, Moreton in Marsh and Chipping Camden.

The larger spa towns of Bath (a World Heritage Site) and Cheltenham (famed for it’s beautiful Regency architecture) or Oxford (the city of dreaming spires) are all within easy reach.

Local pubs within walking distance include The Bell at Langford, our favourite, a beautiful country inn and local celebrity haunt. Other nearby pubs include The Swan at Southrop, The Falcon Inn near Fairford, and The Plough at Kingham. There are a variety of restaurants to suit all tastes within easy reach, whether you are looking for Italian, Indian, traditional British cuisine or even fine dining at the Ox Barn nearby.
