Cotswold Water Park Hotel says
A contemporary four-star hotel, we are superbly located in the heart of the Cotswold Water Park, three miles from Cirencester. With a wealth of outdoor activities and amenities right on our doorstep, this is a great choice for a short break.
Built to a very high specification, the hotel’s architecture takes maximum advantage of its stunning location, with wonderful views and a sense of space and natural light throughout. There are 318 rooms, suites and self-catering apartments, many of them with fantastic views of the lake and some with a balcony too.
Watersports on the lakes include kayaking, sailing, windsurfing, water-skiing and wake-boarding. Back on dry land, there’s golf, hiking, horse-riding and cycling.
We offer a range of themed weekends including a one-night fishing break, costing from £125 per person. It includes a day fishing ticket, overnight accommodation with breakfast and dinner, and a packed lunch. Fishing tackle is available for hire from the nearby Watermark Fisheries. Other themed weekends include spa breaks and, in the summer months, the popular Wakeboarding Weekend.
Cotswold Water Park is a member of Four Pillars Hotels which has a further five three- and four-star hotels located throughout Oxfordshire and the Cotswolds. They range from the Victorian grandeur of Tortworth Court, to the contemporary style and city centre location of Oxford Spires. Speciality Weekend Breaks include murder mystery, cabaret, falconry, painting, wine tasting and Bicester Shopping Village.
