Firefly Lodge – Lakeside Cotswold Stay with Kayaks

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.

The entire house is yours to enjoy – no shared spaces, just the calm of the lake and the freedom to settle in. Check-in is flexible and simple, with a lockbox waiting on arrival. We’ll send the gate code and all the details ahead of time, so everything feels easy from the start. Two dedicated parking spaces are right outside, with extra visitor spots nearby. You’ll also have access to The Landings’ peaceful grounds and tennis court.
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.
Interaction with guests
We’re here if you need us – but we won’t intrude. You’ll receive everything you need ahead of your stay, including access details, recommendations, and how to reach us if anything comes up. Once you arrive, the space is yours to enjoy at your own pace. Whether you prefer total privacy or the occasional local tip, we’re only ever a message away.
