About this house rental
Allow us to introduce Oak Lodge, a 4-bed detached ‘sunhouse’ with spectacular views over Howells Mere Lake. Set in a nature reserve within 500 acres of Cotswold countryside, it is one of a few enviable south-facing sunhouses on Howells Mere. The balcony on the 1st floor provides elevated views - the perfect spot to sit & take in the natural light that pours into the home. On the large ground floor decking sits a private hot tub, which due to its position seemingly hangs you out over the water!

Great family property. We had 9 people, ages from 8 to 68. Hot tub was used a lot as was the arcade game on top landing. Access to the lake was just by the side of the house, so very convenient. Kitchen well stocked with all you need for a home cooked dinner etc. Great location overlooking Howellys Mere and only 5 min walk to swimming pool, tennis courts and centre. We had an evening meal at Balihoos which was very nice, albeit the choices were a bit limited.
