Inside
Each lodge is named for a rural vocation; The Gamekeeper, The Shepherd, The Fisherman and The Herdsman, with the vibrant, bespoke decor of each being a subtle nod to its namesake. These award-winning lodges are designed around open plan living, with a fully fitted kitchen dining area that opens into a large lounge complete with smart TV and cosy log burner. Two bedrooms are situated at the rear of the lodge with a separate shower room. There is more than enough space for the whole family.
Outside
Each lodge has its own private patio, meaning al fresco cooking is a must. Gather around the fire pit and utilise the BBQ cooking grill, just like a proper camper or opt for a taste of Italy and prepare a pizza in the pizza oven. Once fed and watered slip into your wood-fired hot tub while taking advantage of being in one of the UK’s dark sky areas meaning little to no light pollution and ample stargazing opportunities.
