Mallard Lodge

𝗦𝘂𝗺𝗺𝗮𝗿𝘆:

Mallard Lodge has a playful streak running through its calm, refined interior, and it’s exactly what makes the home so memorable. The open-plan living area is warm and inviting, all soft textures and natural tones. Creative design choices feature throughout, especially the wooden kayak suspended above the dining table.

Mallard Lodge sleeps six across three en-suite bedrooms, including a ground-floor room ideal for accessible stays and a master with a private lake-view balcony. The third bedroom can be arranged as a super-king or twins. The open-plan kitchen, dining and lounge area has calm, natural interiors, with Sonos sound, a Smart TV and fast Wi-Fi. A Space Invaders arcade game adds a playful touch.

You’ll have full use of the lodge, the enclosed lakefront deck, the private hot tub, the outdoor dining area and the BBQ. The deck has direct access to the lake, and private parking is right outside the property.

You can arrive at your own pace with self check-in via key box, just give us a call if you have any issues.

Set within the beautiful Cotswold Lakes, you’re surrounded by over 180 lakes, woodland trails and quiet village lanes. The landscape feels open, green and peaceful in every direction. It's the perfect space to be active and explore, ideal for cycling, paddle-boarding, or just walking and enjoying the abundant wildlife and fresh air.

South Cerney is only a few minutes away and is one of the area’s most established villages. Think traditional stone cottages, small, friendly shops, lovely pubs and delightful cafés. Tree-lined lanes and village greens all lead directly towards scenic lakeside routes, so nature’s nearby even when you’re shopping.

Cirencester is about 10-15 minutes by car and offers boutique shopping, restaurants, markets, and a rich sense of history. Kemble Station is also close, with direct trains into London, making this spot practical for quick weekend visits as well as longer stays.

𝗚𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗔𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱:

A car is ideal for exploring the surrounding villages and lakes. That said, Kemble Station (direct trains from London) is just 7 miles away, and the 51 bus runs from the end of the lane to Cirencester and Swindon. Once you arrive, walking and cycling are great ways to enjoy the peaceful landscape.

The house is pet friendly. Two well-behaved dogs are welcome (£35 per dog). A travel cot and high chair are provided. Paddleboard hire is available on request, and decoration services can be arranged for special occasions.

Quiet hours run from 10:30PM to 8AM, and we ask guests to respect the peaceful setting: No parties, and no smoking indoors.
