The early light catches the water meadows and you can hear the Thames sliding quietly by before you've even unzipped the door of your pod.
This is one for couples after a proper escape and anglers who know the stretch — Lechlade & Bushyleaze Trout Fisheries is close enough to make this a solid base for a few days on the water. The Cotswold fringe feels gentle here, all willows and lock gates, less touristy than upstream. Pods and chalets mean you're sleeping warm whatever the weather, and the river's right there if you fancy a morning walk along the towpath or just sitting with a brew watching the narrowboats chug past.
Facilities aren't listed in detail, so do ask ahead about what's provided. Dogs are welcome by arrangement. Campfires need checking on arrival — likely depends on the season and how dry it's been. It's a quiet, tucked-away sort of spot, the kind of place where the biggest decision is whether to fish, walk, or just let the river do its thing while you do very little at all.
