Dove Villa has been styled and furnished to perfection! It is absolutely gorgeous and just when you think it cannot get any better, you notice another brilliant feature! This contemporary gem sleeps 7 guests in 4 exquisite bedrooms, and yes even the single is gorgeous! Every single piece of furniture, every tile, every light, every cushion, every throw has been handpicked to blend brilliantly with everything else. The attention to detail is incredible and you will not be disappointed.
Dove Villa is approached across a small footbridge over a small waterway. It enjoys large lawns to the rear and a second garden area accessed via a shared footbridge adjoining Somerford Lagoon. Guests also enjoy the various terraces, one on the ground level for alfresco dining or lounging and others for the master bedroom suite and second king suite. You will certainly love your morning cup of coffee with a beautiful Somerford Lagoon view.
The architecture of Dove Villa is modernist and somewhat quirky with brilliant angles, windows and glass where you might not expect them and fantastic use of different materials. This stunning holiday home offers the ultimate in luxurious, utterly contemporary living. It is evident in all of the rooms, but none more than the ground floor open plan living space. A glorious grey and white kitchen offers outstanding appliances and a breakfast bar where guests can pull up one the trendy stools and keep the chef company. A very contemporary wood burning stove lies within a wall of brilliance and is surrounded by a plush, sumptuous corner sofa, chairs and stylish, in vogue pouffes. Interior designers have worked their magic for sure! Even the understated dining furniture has the wow factor! Floor-to-ceiling doors and windows all around offer amazing views and illuminate the whole space. Two sets of doors open onto terraces and the gardens.
The exquisite master bedroom suite is a swanky palace with stunning interior design including the same feature wall as the living room. It boasts a pristine ensuite bathroom and a gorgeous balcony where you can enjoy a pre-dinner drink and enjoy the natural splendour of the lake. The second king bedroom is another dreamy space with an equally stunning feature wall, a private balcony with a gorgeous egg chair, perfect for snuggling up with your holiday read and lounge furniture for your morning cup of coffee. In addition, there is a fabulous double with its trendy four poster styled bed and a delightful single, all adorned with beautiful accessories. These two bedrooms share an exceptional family bathroom with a bath and attached shower.
Dove Villa’s location means that guests share exclusive access to a small outdoor swimming pool which is heated and open in high season, a well-equipped gym and a sauna. Guests can also use any of the estate facilities and participate in relaxing and adventurous activities. Quality family time is definitely on the agenda, along with some wonderful well-being treats. This luxury estate boasts hundreds of acres of lush green countryside including nine beautiful lakes, two rivers, stunning picnic spots and miles of lakeside and river trails. The lakes offer canoeing, kayaking, windsurfing, paddle boarding and fishing. The award-winning spa boasts fantastic luxury treatments, a steam room, sauna and three gorgeous swimming pools, one of which is a bracing eco-pool naturally filtered by water lilies. There are tennis courts, an outstanding children’s playground, a library, a ‘restful reading’ lounge and a very well equipped Technogym. Yoga is on the menu, as well as lakeside exercise classes. There is also watersports tuition and children’s clubs during peak holiday times.
Dove Villa enjoys a very special 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. Local equestrian events such as the Badminton Horse Trials, Gatcombe Festival of British Eventing and Beaufort Polo are all popular.
