Details

Situated in the heart of the West Country, surrounded by nature and tranquility, this property is the epitome of secluded luxury. All ten en-suite bedrooms are architecturally unique, each with unmistakable charm and opulent furnishings. A myriad of elegant living areas offer private nooks to curl up with a book, outdoor seating with open fireplaces, as well as spacious entertainment lounges including a fully-stocked bar and snooker table. Magic can be found amongst the selection of rare antique books, curated art collection and hidden doors scattered throughout.

The lodge sits upon a 400-acre estate and the culinary and sporting experiences on offer are inspired by the undulating valleys, brooks, and the property’s very own deer population. The property’s fantastic private chef produces delectable daily menus showcasing seasonal produce, with ingredients either sourced on the estate itself or neighboring townships. Guests can roam the grounds, and even meet the deer, with the guidance of the knowledgeable Estate Manager or pop across the courtyard to make use of the fantastic sports centre equipped with its very own padel court.
