If you are lucky enough to secure a stay at The Glass House, prepare to be completely captivated by this extraordinary architectural masterpiece. Designed by renowned Dutch architects Mecanoo, this one-of-a-kind lakeside retreat sits within 850 acres of beautiful Cotswolds woodland on an exclusive private estate near Lechlade. Surrounded by tranquil water and accessed by a single bridge, The Glass House sleeps eight guests in exceptional luxury, with striking floor-to-ceiling glass walls creating an unforgettable connection to the surrounding landscape.

Guests enjoy access to an incredible range of estate facilities including paddleboarding, kayaking, fishing, cycling, ziplining, horse riding, wellness treatments and the luxurious Orchard Spa with its heated swimming pool, sauna and gym. The Glass House itself is equally impressive, with vast open-plan living spaces, a spectacular designer kitchen with six ovens, stylish dining areas and two elegant lounges separated by a dramatic glass fireplace. Four stunning bedroom suites include a breathtaking master suite with panoramic lake views and a luxurious freestanding bath.

The lower ground floor is dedicated to relaxation and entertainment, offering a private cinema, snooker table, bar, sauna and jacuzzi. Outside, expansive decking and a rooftop terrace provide perfect spaces for alfresco dining, wild swimming, sunbathing and enjoying the peaceful beauty of Huntsman Lake.
