Goosander Lake House

Great cottage in a fantastic location. Welcome basket including milk, bread, eggs and butter was a thoughtful touch. Decor needed a slight refresh and a few utensils /extra items are required. However, we had a lovely time and would definitely recommend this property. We hope to return again in the future.

Great location and facilities. Accomodation was rather 'lived in' and not reflective of the top dollar price charged. Areas to improve: Decking chairs broken, Cushions left outside and wet. Bedroom tv not tuned in Bathroom toilet seat ill fittting and loose Overall cleanliness not thorough Porthole window broken in bedroom Lacking washing machine and tv instructions - too many remotes Despite these issues Goosander is in an outstanding position and facilities generally of very good quality. We had a lovely, romantic honeymoon there, but feel that for the price charged the house should be maintained better. After reading reviews we would agree that the house is not suitable for 6 adults as the bedrooms are rather small

Lovely view from the lounge of the lake and enjoyed sitting on the balcony watching the wildlife. Thank you for the milk, butter, bread and eggs that were left. The main bedroom is great overlooking the lake but the other 2 bedrooms are rather tight if you have 6 adults staying. Lots of lovely places in the Cotswolds to visit from the cottage. We found a few maintenance and cleaning issues.

first impressions excellent & location lovely but after using the property noticed it was very tired & neglected. Now I know why there was no picture of the shower room - it's full of mould!! Also no plug to use the sink, no window or working extractor fan. There was no blind in the master bedroom velux window which disrupted sleep. There are no wardrobes in the other 2 double rooms and one of the doors did not close due to the lock missing. The upstairs bathroom had no showerscreen, the toilet seat was the wrong size so it moved around when you sat it , no toilet roll holder, the window is in the roof, unreachable and there are no poles to close it, so it was open all the time. The top of the cooker fell off every time was used as it hadnt been stuck in, the cutlery, crockery & pans had caked on food, broccoli & pasta had been left to dry in one of them. The fridge is'nt level so food had to be placed at the back so it didint roll out. One of the outside chairs had its arm hanging off. BBq broken underneath.

Great property to explore this lovely area. A well-equipped and clean kitchen with comfortable and bright bedrooms and living space. The main bathroom has some nice touches and the Decking area is excellent. The master bedroom is lovely, but the 2nd and 3rd bedrooms are a little snug for 2 sharing with luggage. Overall a lovely place to stay and well placed to make the most of the area.

Goosander Lake House is a lovely house set on the lake. It has excellent views in a great location. It is well presented and looked after.The lake is very handy for those who want to take part in the many water sport activities close by, but there are lots of other places to visit in the area that are of interest to visit also.

A great place for 6 plus dog to share and take advantage of the many lakeside activities around. The house is light and modern with a loo/wet room downstairs and shared bathroom upstairs. The decking area directly overlooks the lake, with no passers by able to walk between you and the lake, so is very private. It was lovely to enjoy the evenings watching the sun go down with a glass or two, and the BBQ is a welcome addition. There are a few footpaths from the front door, but the area is best explored by bike or car, as the footpaths don't always go around the lakes and the main roads are busy.

We stayed over Christmas 2020, so some leisure facilities that would normally have been open may have been closed. The Lake House is in a lovely position with a wonderful lake view, and a large real Christmas Tree had been provided in the open plan lounge/diner/kitchen, but we felt that the interior was smaller than the pictures and description led us to believe. We had to remove the breakfast bar stools to allow us to use the table properly. Some light bulbs were out and we had to swap lamps around to make sure we didn't have to use the overhead lights all the time. As it was Christmas during Covid, we stayed in for our meals and found there were items missing in the kitchen that we needed - so we had to go to the local Tesco to buy a whisk and a mixing bowl. We were disappointed that the bedroom labelled as the master room was not ensuite, and the second and third bedrooms had no room for wardrobes - thus limited clothes storage. We found out from reading the guest book and info that Spring Lake is a water ski lake - and we were really pleased that the water ski season ended in October, otherwise the holiday may not have been as quiet and tranquil as we experienced. Lovely area, but we would not stay in this house again - having stayed there for a week and not been entirely pleased with the space and facilities, we felt it was expensive for the week.
