Summary: We all loved the hot tub and the peace and quiet of the Malachite Lakehouse. Waking up to the lake views was wonderful, especially during the quiet, peaceful mornings spent watching the birds on the water. The lake setting is peaceful and private, with amazing sunsets.The views out of the windows, both upstairs and downstairs, are absolutely stunning and really make the property special. The host communicated well and was responsive throughout our stay.One small note is that the open bathroom and shower in the master bedroom felt a bit unusual, but it did not detract significantly from our overall experience.Overall, this is a beautiful, relaxing lakeside property and we truly enjoyed our time here.

Summary: We stayed at Malachite as 2 families and had an amazing long weekend, we all loved the hot tub and the peace and quiet of the property, waking up to the lake views was wonderful!The house was extremely clean and the layout is very family friendly (enough space for a game of twister!), the children also really enjoyed the "open up" wall between the bedrooms they used.The kitchen had everything that we needed we plenty of space to get everyone involved in meal preparation. The open space downstairs with the decked area was brilliantly laid out.Despite the October weather we even managed to have lots of fun making use of the kayak on the lake and then warmed ourselves up in the hot tub.The one small comment was that it was strange that the main bedroom doesn't have a door separating the bedroom from the bathroom.It was a lovely weekend, with Malachite making a great base from which we could explore the Cotswolds.

Summary: Enjoyed a weekend family get together at this fantastic property. The setting on the lake was peaceful and private with amazing sunsets. The hot tub, bbq and kayak were additional pluses. The property location was perfect, allowing us all to do varied activities such as bird watching, paddleboarding, horse riding and fishing - something for everyone within short distance. Also, two picture perfect cotswolds villages within walking distance and we manged to fit in an evening meal at Asha at The Crown, Cerney Wick, which we highly recommend. Loved our time here and didn't want to leave.

Summary: Can’t really give a review as my husband had heart attack not long after getting there so spent most of time in hospital So didn’t get the use of it
Feb 13, 2024 11:11:31 PM
Summary: The views out of the windows both upstairs and downstairs are stunning. We loved sitting in the hot tub watching the birds on the water with a glass of wine in hand. The place was plenty big enough with decent size rooms, enough seating for everyone and the kitchen was well equipped. We relaxed with beauty treatments and had a fun trip to to try archery at the Cotswold range. We even managed a gentle paddle across the lake using the canoe from the house.
