    “This place is a proper retreat!”

    The lodge is small and cosy, with everything you need for a relaxing stay. Brendan had heated the hot tub for us so we could use it as soon as we wanted. The hot tub stays hot if you leave the cover on when not in use, so even the following morning it was still hot. The lodge has a small kitchenette with a decent size fridge, 2 ring hob, oven, kettle, toaster etc. so you can prep food during your stay. We stayed for 3 nights and had a bbq on the fire pit every night! The lake is beautiful, ...

    The lodge is small and cosy, with everything you need for a relaxing stay. Brendan had heated the hot tub for us so we could use it as soon as we wanted. The hot tub stays hot if you leave the cover on when not in use, so even the following morning it was still hot. The lodge has a small kitchenette with a decent size fridge, 2 ring hob, oven, kettle, toaster etc. so you can prep food during your stay. We stayed for 3 nights and had a bbq on the fire pit every night! The lake is beautiful, the trees are full of birds singing which I absolutely loved. There are 5 lodges and a converted tunnel - which Brendan let us look around. So much thought has gone into these properties so make sure guests have what they need. Brendan was really friendly and made time to check in with us throughout our stay to make sure we had everything we needed. We purchased a bin full of logs for the fire pit and hot tub, and it lasted the whole 3 days and nights we were there. There really was nothing we could fault. The location is stunning, the lodge was delightful, the hot tub was bliss, and Brendon and his team do a wonderful job of maintaining it all. We will definitely be returning, hopefully for a little longer next time.

Spend cold winters nights snuggled up on the plush sofa as you enjoy a quiet night in front of the TV around your firepit, or embrace your stunning surroundings and views of the tranquil lake as you indulge in a dip in the hot tub.

Delight in drinks at the outdoor dining space, take a seat on the floating pontoons sipping on a refreshing glass of bubbly as you watch the sun set on another incredible day, before grabbing a quick wash in the shower room and laying your head to rest.

The local pub dates to 17th Century and It is a short 5 min walk up the footpath just outside the gates of the site, As well as its warm welcome and its specialty ales it offers excellent locally sourced freshly made food either eat in or take away.

The public footpath that passes through the entrance to the site is part of the Jurassic way which follows a seam of Jurassic limestone starting in Banbury through Northamptonshire up into Lincolnshire.
