Lechlade Lodge

The Lakes, Cotswolds

The Cotswolds

It would be impossible to summarise the wealth of activities offered by the Cotswolds.

Nearby Lechlade is a pretty village, located at the source of the River Thames. It is known for its antique shops, friendly pubs and restaurants. We recommend the local Lechlade butcher for delicious meat and fresh local produce. The village also has a small post-office, a supermarket, a garden centre and a gas station.

Nearby Burford is our favourite Cotswolds medieval village, with streets lined with old houses and cottages and a beautiful Parish Church built from the wealth of the wool trade.

Other activities within short driving distance from The Lakes include several golf-courses, horse-riding stables, cookery schools, and centres specialised in gliding, water skiing, sailing, river cruises and clay pigeon shooting.

The Lakes by Yoo

The Lakes by Yoo is set in 650 acre of woodland around 6 lakes. It is a private community where nature and design work in harmony to provide the ultimate rural retreat and lifestyle.

There are over 15 kms of lakeside bike trails and walkways around the estate. Favourite activities for guests include biking, kayaking, sailing, swimming and fishing.

The Club House is the centre of the Lakes community with a 20-meter heated indoor swimming pool, children pool, sauna, steam bath, well-equiped gym, pool table and complementary teas and coffees.
