    Pepperpot was lovely, with everything we needed. Dog throws provided so we didn't have to worry about the dogs moving from their beds to the sofa overnight. Good outdoor space. Peaceful location with lots of walks & pretty villages nearby....

    The property enjoys a beautiful, peaceful setting with water views all around. I know this area well and particularly like the Isis and Windrush spots, and this lodge is a standout. As the owner notes, it isn’t a “hotel-neutral” stay—it’s a true...

About the property Lovely Lakeside Holiday Lodge with Excellent On-site Facilities & Watersports Nearby At a Glance Property & Overview: • Turret style set over three floors • Sleeps up to 5 in 3 bedrooms & 2 bathrooms • Lakeside furnished decking area & grassy to rear • Pet Friendly – Furry friends welcome: max 2 dogs unless previously agreed • Set on secure landscaped gated holiday home lakeland development • On-site facilities: games rooms, tennis courts, play areas & superb coarse & fly fishing • Close to South Cerney & Cirencester • Great for families, friends & couples • Ideal for short breaks & week-long stays • Several pubs, cafes & restaurants all within walking distance • Many watersports, activities & visitors attractions nearby • Easy access to popular Cotswold towns, villages & attractions ‘Pepperpot’ Layout & Facilities 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms set over three floors with large dining & living area leading out to well furnished decking area with BBQ with views to Isis Lake. There are two large double bedrooms and one single room, perfect for up to 5 people. Fully-equipped kitchen, dining/living area, Smart TV and good WiFi / Broadband. Outside there is wrap-around decking, fenced in by traditional white picket fence, with patio furniture & traditional charcoal BBQ (please bring charcoal). Please be aware that this quirky and characterful property is someone's home let out between the owners' stays at the lake. There are personal items and trinkets throughout, so quite different to a 'purpose built' holiday lodge. Much of the furniture in ‘Pepperpot’ was handmade by the owner's father! This all ads to the charm of this cosy, well-loved home. We invite you to relax, enjoy, embrace the quirkiness and the rocking horse! Living / Dining / Reception Rooms - The front door entrance leads directly into the open and spacious living / dining room area. The French doors lead out to a well furnished decking area with BBQ.
About the host: Sue & Andrew Blow moved to The Pepperpot in 2022. We live full time in a cottage in Scotland but spend as much time as we can at our lodge, where we host family and friends. It is full of our pictures and furniture so please do not expect ‘Hotel Neutral’! We chose the area because Sue is a swimmer and a member at Lake 32. She also dips in the Thames, Lake 86 and Lake 12…next to Windrush and Isis. Andrew loves walking and has amassed a collection of books & pamphlets on local trails. We always bring our lurcher Willow with us, but sadly we, like every other dog owner and visitor, have to keep her on the lead at all times. However, there are great walks round the perimeter of the site, and lots of poo bins. Please bring plenty of poo bags and pick up after your pooch. Go online to find secure fields in the area. Athough swimming is not allowed in any of the lakes on site, there are two little beaches for children. There are sand play toys in the large box on the deck. The one we use is just beyond the willow tree nearest to The Pepperpot, but there is another on Windrush, which is opposite the lodge and across the grass. Please scrape sand off before going back into the Lodge. There is an outside tap beneath the kitchen window. We love to visit Cirencester and Kelmscott is only a short drive away. There are so many lovely places to eat and drink that we are spoilt for choice. A personal favourite is the Waterside Kitchen & Bar about half a mile up Spine Road that does terrific small plates of PanAsian food. For a quick lunch, try the small café at the lake next door. In the summer you can sit on the deck over the water, and in winter, stay snug indoors. It has a great reputation for interesting street food – but the availability changes between winter and summer so check opening hours. Our grandchildren adore the pizzas from the Gateway café area: walk across and check it out. A short drive away is South Cerney with three brilliant family pubs.
Isis & Windrush Lakes On-site Facilities: The New England style lakeside cottages are all set within this well maintained & secure gated holiday home development. It is a very good choice for families, couples & friends as it offers an extensive range of facilities & sports on site. • Three all-weather tennis courts, one is floodlit • Children’s adventure playground, zip wire & play area • Football goals, croquet lawn, a gravel 'Boule' area, table tennis, golf practice net • Indoor games room – pool table, table football & video games • Canoeing, kayaking & paddleboarding is available on the larger Windrush Lake • Lovely local dog walks onsite and well-marked footpaths to the canal or south Cerney Fishing: Coarse & carp (up to 40lbs) fishing is available on both Windrush and Isis lakes but you will need a permit from security. Details will be available on arrival. Fly fishing only is reserved for the first Isis lake on the left as you enter the site. All fishing lakes have platforms. You can relax on the lakeside decking with the BBQ and watch the local wildlife & wildfowl. Alternatively get active & enjoy a wide range of watersports, try water skiing, go cycling, walking or simply explore the many well marked local trails. ‘Pepperpot’ is a great location to head out and visit the pretty villages, market towns and many visitor attractions all around the Cotswolds. Local Facilities & Useful Information - Over the road is the popular De Vere Cotswold Water Park Hotel which offers several restaurants (including the Boathouse Brasserie), bars & an excellent Spa & Pool option for luxury indulgence (bookable option). Bike hire is also available from the hotel. • Good selection of local pubs within walking distance or short drive away • Gateway Information Centre & Cafe • Pizza Takeaway & Hideout Lakeside Bar • Lakeside Bar & Brasserie on Spring Lake (short walk away) • South Cerney Village – 3 pubs & takeaway options • Many lovely local country pubs to visit
