Summer stays in the Cotswolds
Close to home. Far form everyday.
This summer, trade the rush of the everyday for a restoration of the soul in the heart of the Cotswolds. At The Lakes by Yoo, the season is a story written across 850 acres of private wilderness and 11 lakes. It’s a place where time slows down, giving every family member time to find their own pace in a landscape designed for both wild adventures and profound quiet.
Lakefront living
Our lakefront houses and design-led apartments are more than just a place to stay; they’re your private sanctuary for the season. With spacious terraces overlooking the water and floor-to-ceiling glass that brings the outdoors in, these homes provide the perfect backdrop for families to spread out, settle into the rhythm of estate life, and stay longer.
For the parents
While the kids disappear into their own adventures, the day belongs to you. Experience the luxury of time that’s actually yours – whether that’s a quiet coffee on your private deck as the mist rises off the lake, a restorative afternoon at the spa, or your own adrenaline-fuelled adventures.
For the little ones
Give them the freedom of a world without fences. From the adrenaline of zip lines through the forest canopy to the calm of paddleboarding at sunset, every day plays out differently here. Guided by experts at the School of Wild, children learn the art of bushcraft and independent exploration, making for memories of a well-spent summer and giving you total peace of mind.
Summer flavours
As the days stretch longer, dining at The Lakes Bar & Kitchen becomes an experience in itself – effortlessly blending relaxed lakeside living with seasonal, sociable flavours. Set against sweeping water views, guests can gather for laid-back summer BBQs, where the scent of the grill drifts through the warm evening air, or settle in for easy-going pizza nights, with wood-fired favourites served fresh to the table or enjoyed back at your lakeside retreat.
With its all-day, community atmosphere it’s a place designed for enjoying company whether over a long lunch, sunset drinks, or warm evenings spent sharing great food with friends and family.

A seamless summer reset
The Little Escape experience includes a two-night stay in a luxury cabin or apartment, greeted by a breakfast hamper of local Cotswold produce and a family picnic set ready for your first lakeside exploration. We’ve curated the details, including a visit to the estate farm to meet the animals and the flexibility of early dinner options at the Bar & Kitchen. And to ensure you can soak up every last moment of the landscape, we’ve even included a late checkout.
