Firefly Lodge - Lakeside Cotswold Stay with Kayaks
Summary: Welcome to Firefly Lodge, a lakeside escape on the Cotswolds’ largest lake, where time slows down, days stretch out, and the water is always close. Paddle boards, kayaks, and wide lake views invite you out, while soft, thoughtful interiors draw you in.
Set in a private, open position, it’s a perfect base for families to relax and roam. Soak in the hot tub, share long dinners on the deck, or enjoy easy mornings indoors. At Firefly Lodge, there’s no pressure - just space to make endless memories.

Other Things to Note: Firefly Lodge is a peaceful place designed for calm escapes, slow mornings, and meaningful connection. It’s not suitable for parties or noisy gatherings, and we kindly ask all guests to respect the tranquillity of the lake and the community around it.
