Stays at Lechlade Lodge, on the Lakes by Yoo Cotswolds estate, are a hazy midsummer dream of dining on a sun-kissed deck with glittering views, kayaking across the water and exploring the green surrounds of this classic country break destination. The barn-wood-clad villa has been primped and preened into a breathtakingly elegant home by the Yoo studio (a stable for star designer Philippe Starck and his like). A neutral palette and window walls ensure it’s light and bright, and opulent touches – dabs of velvet; a button-back seat here, a chandelier or two there – make these cabins more regal than rugged.
