Lakeside Cabins, The Lakes by Yoo

The ultimate Cotswolds escape

We love these fantastically luxurious cabin retreats, overlooking stunning lakes in Gloucestershire and part of The Lakes by Yoo community – a place for families and friends to come together.

Inside the Cabins

The cabins are interior design-led homes that have been curated by the award-winning YOO Studio who have personally sourced and placed bespoke furnishings, eclectic artwork and vintage finds, giving it that cosy Cotswolds feel. The cabins also have super fast free wifi and many have EV chargers if you have an electric vehicle.

Each cabin has 2-bedrooms, 2-bathrooms, a double-height open-plan living area with dining space and an extensive outdoor entertaining deck. Open up the large retractable doors and spend your evenings chilling on the deck or floating around the lake. This is wonderful entertainment space to create memories in for you and the whole family, with pets allowed too.

Outside the Cabins

These are wonderful rural retreats which are also able to offer access to the onsite Spa, a 17-metre heated pool, gym, wellness retreat, treatment rooms plus sauna and steam room. The site has a wide range of concierge services including housekeeping services, spa treatments and private chef services too.

There are numerous activities to do on site. Waterbourne activities include sailing, kayaking, wild swimming and fishing. On land, there is bike hire, nature trails and 15km of walkways, tennis courts, fitness classes, a picnic area and garden to explore.

Elsa’s Cafe, which is also on site, offers a delicious lunch and dinner menu which features a variety of seasonal dishes, conveniently next to a great playground, which must mean surely that there’s a possibility of a more relaxing meal…

If you’re thinking about going away with family and friends, but need your own space, why not book more than one retreat at Lakes by Yoo? There are many options of rooms, suites and cabins (from 2-6 bedrooms) available for indulgent stays here.

The Area

Lakes by Yoo offers the perfect base in which to enjoy the numerous attractions that the Cotswolds offers. It is only a short drive from the beautiful Roman town of Cirencester and the charming village of Bibury – William Morris called it ‘the most beautiful village in England’.

The Location

Lakes By Yoo is 15 minutes drive east of Cirencester and just outside the town of Fairford. Getting there by car is 1.5-2.5 hours’ drive from London, 1.5 hours from Birmingham and 1 hour+ from Bristol. By train, the nearest mainline station is Swindon, 30 minutes by taxi.

Great for:

• Weekend break
• Romantic getaways
• Families and friends coming together
• A Cotswold escape
• A countryside retreat that’s not quite that remote
