Cotswold Country Park & Beach Spratsgate Lane, Shorncote, Lechlade GL7 6DF

"Fabulous place to have a good and fairly safe splash and swim and also there's usually circus show during summer for entertainment and it's very good. For additional fee you can hire equipment for water activities or do obstacle course in water (aquaventure?). Plenty to do on quite small area."

"Brilliant couple of hours spent here today. Parking available on site or another parking area just round the corner. We came to have a go on the Aquaventure Inflatable course, 3 adults and 3 children. Wetsuits are available to hire for the hour (short £7.50 and long £8.50). You get an hour on the inflatable after being given an introduction and rules of Safety by a member of staff. Plenty of lifeguards situated around the course so any questions or help needed, go to them. Food and drinks available on site although a temporary menu at the moment - Burgers, Hotdogs, Chips and ice creams. Very fairly priced and staff were absolutely fab. Will be looking to go back soon as there are other activities available such as Paddle boarding, SUP and Pedalos for hire"

"While this is a lovely place to visit. If I understand correctly the water was low, water in the beach was small, kept getting stranded with pedal boats... But the big downer was no place to have a shower Very hot day and ice-cream place was closed by playground.... Main cafe ran out of ice-cream early too... Not much in shop... But very fairly priced family place. Great fun for kids. The inflatable adventure course was great fun, but very crowded you have to wait around more to do the main bits than you would expect. Maybe if you had less time but would have less people on it it would be better...."

"There are endless things to do at Cotswold Country Park but it could get pricey if you're a family. We had pre-booked entry and the inflatables and arrived before 10am to get a spot by the beach. (Next time I would not sit there because it gets so packed). Overall a relaxed vibe though. Really loved the inflatables and the lake did not feel at all cold; no wetsuit needed. I walked around the lake (that has the beach) and went bird watching near the gravel pits, which was wonderful. Wild flowers everywhere... It would have been even better with a bird guide / tour."

"Dropped in on a random day off so was nice and quiet. Lovely place for the family with a 7 month year old and 6 year old. Lots to see and do, nice play area, beach and walks. No water sports open but was still a lovely place to have an ice cream. Entry a little steep at £12 but overall everyone was happy."
