Lake Cottage is a delightful, 19th century, Grade II listed country holiday home in a beautiful location, overlooking the steep-sided Nailsworth Valley and a deep and beautiful lake surrounded by woodland. The welcoming interior has an open fire in the dining room and living room and comfortably sleeps six in three bedrooms with two bathrooms. The cottage feels a million miles from the modern world, yet it is just a 10-minute drive from Stroud and Nailsworth, and has two pubs nearby that are easily reached on foot. The cottage is also in a superb location for exploring Tetbury, Cirencester, Cheltenham and Bath.

The perfect venue for a fantastic weekend away!

I stayed at Lake Cottage to celebrate my Mum's 60th birthday. The property was spotless and so well equipped. We all commented multiple times on how the owners had gone above and beyond to fill the cupboard with everything you could need for a short break.

The building itself is stunning and in a picturesque location. Not to mention the friendly pig on site who was a family favourite.

I would highly recommend staying at Lake Cottage. We will be looking at booking our next staycation there shortly.

Beautifully presented property, both indoors and out, in a great location for exploring the Cotswolds. We had a lovely relaxing family break!

This is a lovely holiday cottage. The setting is wonderful with the lake and a pretty path down to the cycle track. The cycle track is a real bonus, a level traffic free walk to Stroud, apart from one set of steps.
The house itself is delightful and the bedrooms are very comfortable.
We got a lovely friendly welcome from the owners.

We had an excellent stay at Lake Cottage. It was really clean, big, and spacious. Caroline was also super friendly and really helpful both before check-in and after our stay. Would highly recommend and would definitely stay again.

We had a wonderful Christmas break in this beautiful house. It was very cosy, the beds were extremely comfortable and there were lovely open fires in the sitting room and the dining room. The gardens were beautiful and the house owners were very friendly, kind, thoughtful and always happy to bring extra supplies.

The lake cottage was the perfect place for our stay in the country. Our children loved walking the beautiful grounds and feeding Winnie the pig every morning. We enjoyed coming up by the fire and appreciated the extra firewood. The hosts were welcoming and went the extra mile to help us on our stay. So many extra touches to make the place special. Also the perfect location for touring the Cotswolds. No complaints. I would recommend the lake cottage to anyone looking for a country get away.

We have just spent a wonderful weekend at Lake Cottage. The images really don’t convey how lovely this cottage truly is. The owners have thought of everything. The cottage is situated in stunning grounds. You won’t be disappointed staying here no matter what time of year. A great place to take your dogs as they are made to feel welcome with their own goody bag.

Thanks for a fabulous stay, such lovely touches having a bottle of bubbles (and tasty fancy nuts!) bread, butter, milk and local honey (which Im annoyed I forgot to try!) Lovely bedding, comfy beds and we loved the gorgeous pig who greeted us each time we left the house! We had a great, active stay - walking 20 miles on the Cotswold Way the first day and running 20 miles the second day! Visited The Old Fleece twice, 10 mins walk on the road (prob even closer across country, though it was a little too dark to attempt it!) Brilliant, thoroughly recommend for a group of friends on a break from the kids!

We traveled to England and had our reservation cancelled at another location. Bolthole saved us with this beautiful cottage against a lake. We have two small children and they loved feeding the pig. The footpaths are all close and take you anywhere you need to go. We didnt use a car the entire time. We could not be happier with how comfortable and clean this property is. If we come back for a holiday we would stay here again.

We very much enjoyed our stay at Lake Cottage. Caroline our host was very supportive and went even more than our expectations with her generosity and kindness making her among the leading hosts we ever interacted with. We wish her all the best and hope to visit her again in the future.
