The Duck House | Dog-Friendly Lakehouse + Hot Tub
Summary: The Duck House is a modern, dog-friendly lakehouse with stunning water views, a private hot tub, and space to fully switch off. With four bedrooms, a chef’s kitchen, and sunlit interiors, it’s perfect for group getaways or laid-back escapes. Located on our gated Waters Edge estate in South Cerney, the home has three outdoor spaces, a lakeside deck, and its own gate straight to the water. A proper retreat - with comfort built in.
The Space: • Brand new, detached lake house • Beautiful high-end interiors • Four bedrooms inc. ground-floor en-suite • Chef’s kitchen, open-plan lounge, and dining area • Private hot tub with lake views • Three decking areas providing sunshine all day • Smart tech and fast WiFi throughout • Sleeps 8 across flexible bed configurations • Fully dog-friendly (up to 2 dogs per stay)
Guest Access: • Full private access to the entire home • Three outdoor spaces including a secure, enclosed lakeside deck • Direct lake access through a private gate • Parking for up to four cars • Entry to our gated Waters Edge estate • A calm, design-led space with all the essentials
The Neighborhood: The Duck House sits within the Waters Edge estate in South Cerney, part of the Cotswold Water Park. You’re surrounded by lakes, walking trails and wildlife—perfect for a morning paddle or golden hour stroll. The village has great pubs, coffee stops and local shops, and you’re only 15 minutes from Cirencester for markets, dining, and a bit of Roman charm. Think nature on your doorstep, but everything you need close by.
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.
