Sandpiper House United Kingdom

Sandpiper House is one of the gorgeous Leda Apartments adjoining the tranquil Swillbrook Lake and Nature Reserve. This stunning holiday apartment is located on a first class development, just south of Cirencester, with acres of beautiful, lush greenspace and an incredible range of facilities and activities to entertain the whole family. The ground floor, three bedroom apartment sleeps six guests very comfortably and benefits from a west facing aspect with an outdoor furnished deck and a beautiful shared garden adjoining the lake. It is within a five minute walk of the resort style activity hub, on-site luxury spa, swimming pools and restaurant.  
Sandpiper House is contemporary, swanky and a perfect base for a family wanting to enjoy the nature outdoors and some competitive and fun activities. Your week will be thoroughly enjoyable with so much choice on offer. It is the perfect place to meet new friends so it is not surprising that many visitors return year after year so that they can meet up again. You may want tuition in a new sport, to get fit in the Technogym, to indulge yourself with some pampering in the spa, to swim in the bracing eco-pool naturally filtered by water lilies, or perhaps the indoor one if the weather isn’t too good or you might want to treat yourself to a few relaxing yoga sessions. There are miles of riverside and lakeside trails to meander and BMX mountain bike tracks. If you don’t take your own bikes, you can hire them. Perhaps you may want to practice your serve or just enjoy lovely family picnics in dreamy, picturesque spots without having to drive anywhere. There are nine lakes and two rivers within the ‘resort’ and a fascinating collection of resident birds, otters and other animals. During peak holiday seasons, children’s clubs offer a huge range of activities. There is a useful on-site shop and a wonderful restaurant which also has its own pizza ovens, perfect for takeways.  
Sandpiper House is a great example of contemporary waterside living. Within the apartment you will find a beautifully appointed master bedroom suite for Mum and Dad. It boasts a pristine en-suite bathroom with a huge shower. There is another double bedroom with lovely throws and cushions adorning the bed and a fun bunk bed room. Though children may think this is the perfect place for late night chatter and midnight feasts, they will probably be far too exhausted after all the action! The smart family bathroom offers a bath with a shower attachment.
The bright and airy living area is open plan in design with huge bi-fold doors opening onto the large covered deck. The living room is elegant and serene with a lovely squishy corner sofa, modern dining furniture and a very stylish, glossy, well equipped kitchen. The deck is wonderful with deluxe outdoor lounge furniture and alfresco dining. You just need to open that lovely chilled bottle of wine and count your blessings. Sandpiper House enjoys a delightful lakeside location within a gated resort in the heart of the Cotswolds. Just south of Cirencester, guests enjoy many entertainment options within the development as well as being located on the doorstep of fabulous Cotswolds attractions. The Cotswolds boasts idyllic villages, historic towns, a rich heritage of country houses, stunning gardens, wildlife parks, arboretums and enchanting nature reserves. Popular visits are to Bourton-on-the-Water, Stow-on-the-Wold, Tetbury, Cirencester, Malmesbury and Lacock as well as the regency pleasures of Cheltenham and the Georgian glories of Bath which are less than twenty miles away.
Bourton-on-the-Water, like most of the Cotswolds, lies in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. It is the Venice of the Cotswolds with beautiful bridges crossing the River Windrush. Gorgeous cosy cafes line the pretty streets together with houses made with enchanting honey coloured Cotswold stone.
Stow-on-the-Wold is a delightful market town, the highest of the Cotswold towns exposed on the 800 feet high Stow Hill at the crossroads with the Roman Fosse Way. The town boasts a fascinating history. At the height of the Cotswold wool industry, it held annual fairs where as many as 20000 sheep were sold at one time. The Market Square is very attractive with its ancient cross, town stocks and an elegant array of Cotswold town houses and shops. You will find many fine antique shops, art galleries, gift and craft shops.
Tetbury is another historic wool town. It is an architectural gem with many of the wool merchant’s houses remaining the same as they were in the 16th and 17th centuries. The Parish Church of St Mary’s has one of the tallest and most elegant spires in the UK. Tetbury is popular for its independent shops including antique shops, vintage and interior shops, exclusive boutiques and the Highgrove shop. Tetbury holds many regular events including the May Day Wacky Races, the Spring Bank Holiday Woolsack Races when contestants carry 65lb woolsacks up and down the 1 in 4 hill, the August Summer Show, the September Food and Drink Festival, the October Tetbury Music Festival and the Christmas Lights Switch-on.
Close by, visitors can enjoy the stunning botanical experience of the National Arboretum at Westonbirt, the glorious Elizabethan Chavenage House used for many famous films and TV series, the beautiful Arts and Crafts Manor at Rodmarton, the 13th century Lacock Abbey and HRH Prince of Wales’ stunning garden at Highgrove.
