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.
