The Lakes by YOO

Set within an expansive Cotswolds landscape shaped by lakes, woodland, and open meadow, The Lakes by YOO represents a progressive vision of modern rural luxury. Conceived as a private lifestyle estate and now evolving to include design-led hotel-style accommodation, it offers a rare fusion of architectural distinction, hospitality, and immersive countryside living.

Residences and lakeside apartments are individually designed, created in collaboration with internationally recognised designers through YOO Studio. Interiors are expressive yet refined, pairing sculptural furnishings with natural materials, generous glazing, and uninterrupted views across water and landscape. The atmosphere is residential in feel yet supported by discreet, high-touch hospitality, allowing guests to move seamlessly between private living and curated service.

Experiences are intentionally fluid and shaped by the estate itself. Guests can paddleboard or swim across freshwater lakes, explore woodland trails, or unwind through lakeside wellness experiences, spa facilities, and tailored fitness sessions. Seasonal events, visiting chefs, and curated gatherings add a social and cultural dimension that evolves throughout the year.

Dining centres around relaxed yet elevated, produce-led cuisine at the estate’s restaurant and social spaces, alongside private chef experiences, in-residence dining, and bespoke culinary moments arranged through concierge. Personalised services extend from curated outdoor adventures to private celebrations and tailored family experiences.

Ideal for extended countryside stays, design-focused retreats, or as part of a wider journey through the United Kingdom and Europe, The Lakes by YOO offers something quietly distinctive; a private world where architecture, hospitality, and nature are carefully orchestrated to create an experience that feels both deeply personal and exceptionally considered.
