This beautiful three-bedroom home sleeping up to six is a New England-style lodge perched on the edge of Isis Lake, perfect for lakeside living with family or friends. With cosy bedrooms, open plan living areas and a waterside sun deck, this house really makes the most of the beautiful views across Isis Lake. This is the perfect base to explore all the activities that Cotswold Water Park has to offer; while the fishing opportunities from Mayfly Lodge are particularly fantastic, with three lakes close by to choose from.

A delight in the Cotwolds

Lovely clean accommodation in the Cotswolds overlooking the lake. Great for a family get together, with walks on the doorstep. Has a communal games room and tennis court.



Accommodation good but let down by cleaners

The accommodation was well situated and well presented. The facilities were excellent and the family extras were much appreciated by our granddaughter and her mum and dad.

My only criticism was that the property had not been sufficiently cleaned prior to our arrival. It was first noticed when we went on the outside decking which was strewn with leaves and debris as was the table and chairs. The patio windows were covered in cobwebs and spiders both outside and to a lesser extent inside. Further investigation showed that there were cobwebs and flies both dead and alive behind the curtains in some of the bedrooms. These did not spoil our holiday but having paid £140 for cleaning we didn't expect to have to remove the offending items to make the property feel more comfortable.

The Cotswold Water Park was really lovely, - beautifully maintained and very peaceful. Unfortunately the lodges (which seem to be individually owned, ) varied in the quality of their maintenance).
Mayfly Lodge looked a bit tired ( end of season?) There was less crockery, glasses etc than needed - especially for 6 - and the quality of the bedding and towels was not what I would have expected.
We enjoyed our holiday, loved the lakes and the views, and the ducks at our gate were a delight.



Beautiful weekend retreat

We had a really lovely stay in Mayfly lodge. The cottage is really well equipped with lots of little extras which made life a lot easier. It was exceptionally clean and and a lovely warm feel to it. The location was superb with water sports facilities just round the corner. Communication with the owner was quick and easy. Would definitely return.

A lovely, comfortable house with a wonderful outlook.
Very well equipped with an attractive interior and most comfortable seating. Also beautifully light. A home away from home.
Had a lovely decking area to enjoy the lake wildlife and fountain.

Although the stay was excellent, we were greeted with a very rough welcome. We were early and was told that in no uncertain terms. We was Only making sure we knew where to go and when this has happened at other properties we were welcomed with open arms and asked if we could go and come back and was pointed to a cafe or lunch spot. This did not happened and we felt very unwelcome
