Isis Lakes 84, Tortola Lodge (P) - Lakeside Lodge, On-Site Activities, Sleeps 8

Relaxing break which was needed by all. Great location and the property had everything we needed. :)

The property we stayed in was perfect. We were three generations, ranging from 7-70+ years. There was lots to do for all of us. At the property, there was a good internet connection and plenty of TV streaming services to keep the kids happy. The property was very well equipped with a good kitchen area. The couple of utensils that were not available were quickly supplied after a quick call to the reception number. Beds were wonderful with high quality mattresses. The only slight downside was a standard 9 tog duvet all year round. We could have done with something lighter in the summer. Not a major issue. The property is set in a very peaceful gated estate which was kept impeccably clean. There are good free activities on-site, including a children's playground, tennis courts, table tennis. An indoor area provided two pool tables (£1 per game) and table football (50p per game). There is free fishing on site (mixed course, carp and some fly fishing). Under 5 minutes walk from the property there is a water sports lake offering kayaking, canoeing and stand up paddle boards. We all enjoyed those activities. We also visited the nearby Cotswalds County Park & Beach for the Aquaventure session. This was brilliant. It's a bit pricey but definitely worth planning a full day visit. Cirencester is nearby and we visited the open air assuming pool there, which was excellent. There is a magnificent sculpture park nearby, which everybody enjoyed a lot. Definitely worth a visit. Our 7 year old was must enthusiastic and we played "guess the price ticket" as we went round. It takes 1-2 hours from start to finish. When you finish, the on-site cakes are awesome. 5 minutes drive away there is a Tesco and an Aldi. Supermarkets also deliver to the site. In about 5-10 minutes bike ride, you can get to South Cerney which is a very pretty villages with small shops (including pharmacy) and a couple of pubs (we did not make it to the pubs, but did notice that The George Inn had a fire engine converted to a pizza coming area!). Overall, a fantastic holiday with lots to do. Absolutely definitely take your bicycles, especially for the kids who can safely cycle around the area off of the roads.
