Fancy a unique self-catering experience? Want to get away from busy everyday life? Then this is the accommodation for you! Set in a quiet wooded spinney spanning 2.5 acres on a working farm is this charming eco-lodge which is completely off grid. Hand crafted by an artisan carpenter using sweet chestnut and reclaimed materials where possible, this one of a kind lodge has been created for a truly comfortable stay, perfect for a couple looking to escape, unwind and enjoy the great outdoors.
Inside the lodge, you are greeted by a comfy double bed, seating and dining area, kitchen which includes fridge and gas stove, cosy wood burner and a separate shower room complete with heated shower and a compositing toilet.
