Lakeside Homes - Cotswolds - UK

The Cotswold’s in England is famous for its old-fashioned countryside homes and scenery. One could say from a bird's eye view, it looks as if time has stood still in the Cotswold’s for a few hundred years.

Cotswold Landscape 

The Cotswold’s is located along the southwestern region of England and has been given the distinction of Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. If you haven't been there, please check out some pictures, and you will see why it deserves that distinction.

The Cotswold’s is home to many market towns where you can find stately homes, ancient and old-fashioned establishments like churches, and even pubs! One area that caught my eye were the lakeside homes situated in a scenic and peaceful area scattered all over the Cotswold’s.

These homes will take your breath away  in themselves are quite posh albeit in a very rustic way, due to the natural surroundings. Some lakeside homes can be leased for a couple of months, so should you want to, you can spend your summer vacation there. However, after just spending a few days there, you will find that having a more permanent place to stay might be what you prefer. 

Like any home near the lakeside you will get excellent scenery but also the perfect place for outdoor sports such as fishing, sailing, running and walking. There is nothing quite like enjoying your favorite sport amid a great landscape and breathing fresh air. It is for these reasons that these lakeside homes in the Cotswold’s have are much desired. It is a sign of status among the affluent and something many people in the UK aspire to have.

For those who want to just take a short visit, you will find that some of the Cotswold’s historical roots. The Cotswold’s is home to Stratford-upon-Avon (birthplace of the playwright William Shakespeare), and some manors and castles that are great tourist spots.

Alternatively the Cotswold’s currently has to offer has a good variety of places to stay. If you prefer a more modern living setup but still like the setting of the countryside, then you can go to the Cotswold’s Water Park, where you can find a place to suit your needs. Fro luxury vacation stays there is Lower Mill Estate.

It would be quite interesting to note that a number of the UK's finest artists have a property in the Cotswold’s or actually live there. Some of these individuals are Damien Hirst (artist), Elizabeth Hurley (model), J.K. Rowling (author of the Harry Potter series), Alex James (from the band Blur) and Stella McCartney (fashion designer). Perhaps it’s the charm of the countryside or the peaceful environment, but the fact is, the Cotswold’s offers such a beautiful location to build your life.
