Essitone: Cinema Room, Games Room, Gym & More!

Summary:

If you’re a games family, this is very much your kind of break. And if you’re a group of adults who know how to have a good time, it works just as well. Arcade games, pool, darts and a home gym keep everyone busy, together. When it’s time to slow things down, the home cinema and Blu-ray library are ready for a proper movie night. And if you head out, lakeside walks and village pubs are just around the corner.



The Space:

Essitone House sleeps up to ten guests across five bedrooms. The principal bedroom features a king-size bed and en-suite, with three further king-size bedrooms and a fifth bedroom set as twins. There are three bathrooms in total, plus a downstairs toilet.



Inside, the open-plan living, kitchen and dining space is designed for time together, with a dining table for ten and a fully equipped kitchen with appliances and cookware. You’ll also find a dedicated cinema room (yes, really) with surround sound and an extensive Blu-ray library, a games room with pool table, darts and arcade machine, and a private home gym complete with equipment.



The house includes a Smart TV with Bluetooth speakers, fast and reliable WiFi, a log burner to keep things toasty, and a utility space with washing machine and tumble dryer. Wildsmith Skin toiletries are included with every stay, along with bed linen and towels for every guest.



Outside, there’s a private garden with outdoor seating for al fresco drinking and dining, plus a charcoal BBQ.



Guest Access:

You’ll have full private use of the house and garden throughout your stay. Parking is available in a gated driveway with space for up to four cars, and an EV charging point is available.



Check in from 4PM and check out by 10AM. You can arrive at your own pace with self check-in via key box, just give us a call if you have any issues.



The Neighborhood:

Essitone House sits in the village of Ashton Keynes, a peaceful spot surrounded by water, footpaths and quiet countryside lanes. It’s the kind of place where you can step outside and head straight out for a walk, or wander into the village for a drink without needing to plan too far ahead.



From here, the wider Cotswold Lakes open out in every direction. There are miles of waterside paths and cycle routes to explore, along with plenty of opportunities to get out on the water, whether that’s booking activities, hiring equipment or simply spending time by the lakes and watching the wildlife go by.



For food and drink, Ashton Keynes has a well-loved village pub at its heart, with more cafés, pubs and casual dining spots dotted around the lakes and nearby villages. If you’re after something a little bigger, Cirencester is close by and offers boutique shopping, markets, restaurants and a strong sense of history.



Kemble Station is also within easy reach, with direct trains into London, making Essitone House a practical base for weekend breaks as well as longer stays.



Getting Around:

• A car is useful for exploring the area

• Easy access to Cirencester, Cotswold villages and lakes

• Taxis available locally

• Nearest station: Kemble (15 mins)



Other Things to Note:

The house is pet friendly. Two well-behaved dogs are welcome (£35 per dog). A travel cot and highchair are available, and decoration services can be arranged for special occasions.



Quiet hours run from 10PM to 8AM, and we ask guests to respect the peaceful setting: No parties, and no smoking indoors.



Interaction with Guests:

Everybody finds peace in a different way, and that’s how it should be. From the moment you book, you decide the pace, and we’ll be there to help you plan, and create moments that really matter. It’s that little extra layer of support we offer to make sure everything runs smoothly. Thoughtful service, that never gets in the way of a good moment.



Whether that means a slow morning with a fresh pot of tea and a long soak, or a day out exploring neighbourhoods and nature - we’ll guide you, so it all unfolds just the way you’ve pictured it.
