The Duck House | Dog-Friendly Lakehouse + Hot Tub

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.

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. Once you arrive, walking and cycling are great ways to enjoy the peaceful landscape.
