Scout on the Water, sleeping six, is a beautifully furnished New England style retreat set within the gated community of The Landings in the Cotswold Water Park.

Situated in landscaped surroundings overlooking a stunning 114 acre sailing and fishing lake, it’s perfect for an adventurous family holiday or special celebration, with water sports, walking and cycling on tap. Or fire up the bubbles and kick back in the relaxing hot tub and stare at the ever-changing sky and water!

The pretty clapper board-style exterior and fantastic setting make a brilliant first impression and the decked area providing plenty of space for sitting out and enjoying uninterrupted lake views comes a close second.

Relaxed stay in the Cotswolds
We spent a wonderful week at Kevin's house by the lake. The location and the house are as described in the listing and after two unfortunate experiences with other homes we can't rate this highly enough. Modern and comfortably furnished. The communication with the agency and the owner was very good and we can only recommend the accommodation. Thank you very much.
