THE GLASS HOUSE - Gloucestershire

The Glasshouse packs a mighty punch when it comes to wow factor; this stunning large group holiday house exudes luxury and stands in a secluded setting, partly submerged beneath the waterline at the very edge of a lake on a sustainable private estate close to the Cotswolds. Inside and outside come together seamlessly via full height glass walls, nature is forever in your sight. 4 spacious bedrooms sleep 8 guests, there’s a spa room with a hot tub and sauna, a professional cinema room, and a games room with a full-size snooker table and bar. Outside there’s a wrap around balcony, a waterside garden and a rooftop terrace with far reaching views over the lake and the Gloucestershire countryside.

You won’t need to go far to find things to do when you stay at The Glass House, because there’s so much on the estate to keep you smiling. Guests can make use of the exceptional facilities and enjoy watersports, a high ropes course and zip wire, tennis, bike rides, spa treatments and a swim in the indoor pool, Wander up to The Lakes Bar & Kitchen for breakfast or lunch or Sunday roast.

If you want to venture further, go and discover Lechlade-on-Thames, just up the road; take a walk along the Thames Path, hire a boat or a pedalo, stop for lunch in a waterside pub, have a browse around the antique shops and no matter what the time of year, pop in the Cotswold Christmas Shop.  

Spend a day exploring the beautiful Cotswolds – all those picturesque villages with honey coloured stone cottages and charming names like Bourton-on-the-Water, Stow-on-the-Wold and Moreton-in-Marsh. Discover the little town of Burford, or head to Oxford to see the dreaming spires, the museums and galleries, and go punting on the River Cherwell.

Have a family day out at Birdland Park & Gardens or the Cotswold Wildlife Park & Gardens where you can see over 260 species of animals from around the world. Anyone with a fascination for reptiles will love Crocodiles of the World – a chance to see some of the most fearsome beats on the planet!

Take a trip down memory lane at Cotswold Motoring Museum & Toy Collection, or to travel further back in time, go to Chedworth Roman Villa. For country house splendour you won’t get much better than Blenheim Palace, the birthplace of Sir Winston Churchill; closer to home, Buscot Park is worth seeing, or go to Kelmscott Manor and have tea in the riverside garden.
