Carle’s Coffee Shop

Carle’s coffee shop is on the corner of the Spine Road and Cerney Wick Lane and often frequented by us as we zip between lakes. I can highly recommend the flat white and the flapjacks although you’ll find much more there to try including a quiet corner where you can enjoy a cake or sandwich. Carle also provides bike hire and is the centre of some serious riding that goes on around the area. You’ll also find them up by the Relish cafe where they hire bikes. Carle will deliver the bikes to the door at a reasonable price – if you want to find out more then please speak to us

House Rules

We try not to impose too many rules for our guests – we are pet friendly and welcome a well behaved companion along with you otherwise we really understand your enjoyment is not as great as it can be.

We know that your pets will climb on the furniture so we do provide throws to put on the furniture so please use them. We also prefer your pet not to be left unattended in the lodge unless he/she will happily sit in a cage until you come back without disturbing your neighbours.

We are a no smoking – our preference is that the site is smoke free but we do provide outdoor ashtrays – we would be grateful if you clean up before you depart and get rid of the ashtray contents.

There are a few communal areas for your enjoyment including a laundry area as well as a fire pit and pizza over – we will add to this in the future but please keep the area clean and tidy for our other guests.

We are a quiet site in the middle of the Cotswold countryside so we are grateful for your support in keeping light and noise pollution as low as possible.

A beautiful house in a peaceful location. Stayed here for our ‘mini moon’ after our wedding, and it definitely hit the brief! The right amount of luxury that still feels homely.
Everything was just perfect, had the best time.
My favourite part of the house- the hot tub on the decking overlooking the lake 👌🏻

Had a really nice time at this place. The house has quite unique architecture, with huge windows and an incredible view. The well-designed interior and lakeside area are stunning, and the height of the ceiling — uh, wish we had this at home! It feels very special and sets the right mood for relaxation. We had a lot of fun observing the local wildlife and using the hot tub.
