Property Details
A lot of people plan a break to the Cotswolds, but then get overwhelmed by what to do and where to visit. So what if everything you could want to do were all right on your doorstep?
Harrier Lodge is based on Lower Mill Lakes – an estate that has it all. Check out our “Shared spaces” section for more info on all the activities. We’re talking spa retreat, yoga sessions, tennis courts, there’s even an indoor soft play if you have some younger adventurers with you.
The only trouble is, the lodge itself is so well equipped and designed you might find it hard to leave. You could go paddle boarding, but you could also sit in the hot tub and get the same lake views. However you decide to holiday, we can guarantee you’ll do it in comfort and style at Harrier Lodge.

Exploring nearby
Set within the beautiful Cotswold Lakes, you’re surrounded by over 180 lakes, woodland trails and quiet village lanes. The landscape feels open, green and peaceful in every direction. It’s the perfect space to be active and explore, ideal for cycling, paddle-boarding, or just walking and enjoying the abundant wildlife and fresh air.
South Cerney is only a few minutes away and is one of the area’s most established villages. Think traditional stone cottages, small, friendly shops, lovely pubs and delightful cafés. Tree-lined lanes and village greens all lead directly towards scenic lakeside routes, so nature’s nearby even when you’re shopping.
Cirencester is about 10-15 minutes by car and offers boutique shopping, restaurants, markets, and a rich sense of history. Kemble Station is also close, with direct trains into London, making this spot practical for quick weekend visits as well as longer stays.
