We had a fantastic time at Eider Lodge, it’s the perfect family destination. We’ve already booked again for next year!



Perfectly placed for exploring the Cotswolds. Nice house.

Accommodation nice. Sun loungers on the deck might be a nice addition for when it's hot. We had our puppy with us and struggled to find an area close by where we could let him off the lead safely... Nice park in Cirencester though.



The most enjoyable stay.

Apart from the master bedroom the other two were quite small but comfortable. More suited to a family rather than 6 adults. Beautiful views over the lake and very clean. A lovely stay.

Great location if you're happy to watch the speedboat going up and down in the daytime (which we were!) and/or participating.. kept the kids entertained too! V relaxing being on the waterfront in general with ducks/swans and kids enjoyed the playground. Brasserie was busy but friendly service and you can buy ice creams as needed. Our only minor criticisms were the parasol needed replacing, one of the outside chairs was missing a cushion, the lightbulb above kitchen counter needed replacing, couldn't find a dustpan (only a brush!) and the bedding is synthetic and made nights rather hot.. (not a euphemism!) We'd go back though...

We really enjoyed our mini break in this property. It was lovely to find a nice location that also allowed us to bring our dog. The property was very clean and had everything we needed- including lots of sanitiser and hand wash which was great in the current climate. This is the first time we have ever bought our dog away and I was pleased it didn’t have other people’s dog hair or smells- the cleaning was perfect!

The master bedroom is very roomy and the beds in all rooms are comfy. The two smaller rooms are fine for a short stay but they are tight - so not much room for storage- which is stated on the website information before you book. This didn’t cause any problems for us though.

The staff at Orion provide you with so much detail before your stay that you have everything you need and know what to bring or not bring beforehand. Super friendly to deal with too.

The only downside was it rained all weekend so we couldn’t enjoy sitting on the lakeside outside as much as we hoped but the living area had French doors so we still got to enjoy the lovely views of the lake and keep dry!

Would 100% recommend and return- thank you!

Orion holidays were more than helpful with arranging this short break and the initial impression of the house was lovely. The setting over the lake was amazing and we were lucky with the weather so spent most of our time on the deck. The property itself could do with a bit of tic - the bathroom and deck especially. Apart from that it was a lovely break.

We booked this as stayacation due to covid when suppose to be in Mexico. First time in a while gone for self catering. On entering the house what strikes me was the view. Being on the lakeside was amazing.

The house it self was comfortable, very clean ..slightly dated but absolutely fine for us family of 4. The kitchen was well equipped. There a bbq on the balcony and we spent most of our time there.

From the lakes we went to lakeside brassierie a lot for drinks and their amazing brekkie. Watersports advisable book in advance.

It was peaceful there except for one night there was a huge party in of the houses with everyone on the balcony. Did not bother us that much..was reminded husband and I of our younger days! However our neighbours had babies and couldn't sleep.

Overall the stay was amazing and relaxing. Your can paddle in the lake and certain areas. Definitely booking again.

We received a fantastic welcome and everything looked fine on the surface. However the bed in master bedroom was not comfortable and prevented us from sleeping well.
For the price we paid our expectations were higher as other family members staying nearby received much more for their money.

Thanks for taking the time to submit a review and I am glad that, overall, you enjoyed your stay. Mattresses are a difficult one as it’s impossible to 100% satisfy everyone as everyone has their own view as to what they consider to be an ideal mattress with regards to how firm or soft it is. We do our best by buying hotel style mattresses that cater for the majority, however, this area, by necessity has to be a compromise. Thanks again for your review and hope to see you again soon.

We visited spring lake and booked a lodge to be lakeside and make full use of the Waterski and wakeboard boats which it is ideal for other than the fact the lake was closed for a full day and only open for half days. This meant the only time we got to use the lake where the lodge was located was on our last day after we checked out of the lodge. Not particularly ideal.
The lodge itself was clean and comfortable and we would recommend booking but if you book it with lake activity in mind you might find yourself back and forth to 4Lakes which is what we had to get on the water. Food on site is good at the bar but beware of the noisy floorboards in this lodge. It didn’t bother us we were out a lot and when I’m downstairs but something to consider




Mark Thomas replied more than 1 year ago
Thanks for your review and I am really sorry that you were disappointed with the access you had to the lake on which the lodge was situated. We are normally advised well in advance when there are closures, so can only assume this was an unplanned/late notice one. Although we do always recommend that you check availability with any of the activity providers, especially if that particular activity is key to your stay, I do see how having to travel to different locations, even close by, would have been frustrating. I am glad that you appear to have, overall, enjoyed your stay and hope you will come back and stay with us again.

Spring lake 52 was a great property to stay in, we had a brilliant time. The location is great with a 20 min walk into South Cerney and lots of beautiful walks.
Orion holidays were great at providing all the relevant information for our stay.
We will be back!

Excellent location. Particularly peaceful during the week. For trail runners and walkers, lots of on-the-doorstep routes. For water sports - perfect with a range of activities.
Cirencester is worth a visit as is the South Cerney village for essentials.
Staff in Orion really helpful and responsive.

Ours was a temp 4 week stay between house moves. We know area well. The Lake & Lodge are outstanding in position & "feel". South facing - sun rising from left then all day before setting to the right. So we overlooked a bright peaceful lake of natural attractiveness - full of birds - gulls, cormorants, mallards, swans, storks and others ...Lodge clean warm well equipped. Great bright sunny views from decking and this was December / January time. Brasserie/sports bar a great amenity - gym is great.

My only comment was that it was a bit of a shame as we sat out in the gorgeous weather having lunch on the balcony that the speed boat went roaring past every thirty seconds. It would have been complete if we had been able to enjoy the peace and serenity of the environment. But the house and everything else was wonderful.

This was a perfect break suitable for any age we went not for the abundance of water sports but for a relaxing stay on the water and we were in awe sat out on the decking we watched an abundance of wildlife and it was entertaining to see all the water sports you felt a million miles from hustle and bustle yet so much to do on your doorstep the home was so comfortable and I can't think of anything I would change so glad I found this as it's now going to be a break I take regularly thank you Orion

The layout, comfort, amenities and location of this property is really great. Fab place if you like water, water sports, nature or fishing.
The only negative point about the property was every door, door handle and floorboard creaked upstairs so going up to bed after the kids or getting up in the night could have been a lot quieter.the property was every door, door handle and floorboard creaked upstairs so going up to bed after the kids or getting up in the night could have been a lot quieter.

We stayed at Eider Lodge at the end of June 2016 and were so happy with it we came back. Just as good this time, comfortable and well furnished lodge and a great location for walking to the Brasserie on Spring Lake, the De Vere hotel & outdoor centre, South Cerney etc. I'm sure we'll return!

The house had decking that looks onto the lake, which was the main reason for our stay. It didn't disappoint. We were next to the Lakeside Restaurant and Bar which was great for lunch/dinner and a few drinks in the sun.

The house is in a great location. The shop in the high street was a 25/30 minute walk away or 5 minutes in the car.

There are lots of lovely restaurants/pubs close by.

Eider Lodge was a good base for exploring the Water Park and Cotswolds. Loved the views from the balcony and enjoyed watching the water sports. Nice to find a property that welcomed dogs, it was well equipped and comfortable. The home felt a little impersonal and unloved, but dog friendly properties can't be expected to have fluffy carpets and white sofas! Overall we had a great week and would stay again. A note on the water park in general, we were shocked at the amount of fast traffic (50mph speed limit) and heavy lorries (from the quarries) on roads where families were cycling and crossing. A lower speed limit or safe pedestrian crossings are needed before there is an accident.



Mark Thomas replied more than 1 year ago
Thanks for taking the time to submit such a detailed review. We will pass your comments onto the owner and I am sorry about the Wi Fi.... It seemed to be intermittent as when we attended to take a look, everything appeared to be working OK; we also called BT but, as you can imagine, that was a waste of time! Your comments on the Spine road traffic and speed is extremely valid and topical as there is a major campaign under way to introduce some serious traffic calming measures. Thanks again for your review and hope to see you again soon.

We had a fantastic weekend in the Cotswolds Water Park. The scenery was stunning and the house was in a lovely spot, cleverly positioned so as not to be overlooked. Waterskiing on the lake did not cause any disturbance and actually provided some entertainment at times! House was very clean and in great condition although 2 of the bedrooms were rather small - don't take too much luggage!

Aided by the glorious weather we had a great time kayaking, sailing and cycling all within very close proximity to the house. We would definitely recommend a visit

Enjoyed staying in the area. We are new to the Cotswold Water Park and were curious. Lovely to have accommodation on the lake, but we would not choose to stay again near the waterski area as it was quite loud from 9 in the morning. Lots of day trips on offer. Enjoyed BBQs on the deck when the sun shone!

Surprisingly the development was really easy to find.The accomodation was modern and clean , offering everything we could want during our stay.Lovely quiet location with really friendly locals.Our main concern was the dog but she loved it from the balcony at the back of the property overlooking the lake to the numerous foot and cycle paths surrounding the area. We really enjoyed our stay and would like to return, so much to see and do...3 days was not enough.

Lovely location looking out at the tree lined opposite bank of the lake. Sun most of the day on the deck. Everything good standard, but needs some tlc throughout - frayed rug at top of stairs, downstairs shower needs grouting work, paintwork patches throughout needs attention. However view made up for it, especially from upstairs bedroom, with full-length window over lake. Good base for walking around the water park, visiting Cirencester, Bouton on the water etc. Tasty food (£8-15) main course at the Boatsman pub/restaurant, next door excellent coffee shop with good food. Would love to visit again!
