Pond Lodge - Hot Tub Stay with Views & Log Burner

𝗦𝘂𝗺𝗺𝗮𝗿𝘆:

Set within its own quiet corner of the estate, Pond Lodge looks out across a private pond with a pontoon stretching gently over the water. Slow days can come easily here, from long lunches in the garden to evening dips, relaxing into your hot tub after. Underfloor heating, a log burner and calm lake views make it a place to unwind, with time to enjoy being together, with your dog too.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗲:

Pond Lodge is a light, Scandinavian-designed lakeside home with two bedrooms, the principal bedroom with a king-size bed and a second that can be set up as twin beds or a super-king. Full-height windows look across the water, and the open-plan living space has underfloor heating and a log burner for calm, cosy evenings. You’ll find a Smart TV with Netflix, Bluetooth speaker, Starlink WiFi, and a fully equipped kitchen with a Nespresso machine. Designed for families, couples or friends looking for space and stillness.

𝗚𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗔𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀:

Guests have full private access to the lodge, including:

• The lakefront sun deck

• Private hot tub

• Private pontoon with direct water access

• Two kayaks for exploring the lake

• Check in from 3:00 PM

• Check out by 10:00 AM.

You can arrive at your own pace with self check-in via key box, just give us a call if you have any issues.

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.

We had a great time. Place was lovely. Such a beautiful place. Great having cooker, microwave, coffee machine as felt like home. Such a wonderful wood burner and views and hot tub great!! We arrived at 3.30pm and I think by 8/9pm we could get in the hot tub - as takes a while to heat up. Cleaning was good. Loved the fact that we had basics such as olive oil, salt and pepper, tea and coffee pods- and a little welcome bottle of drink in the fridge so so great. We got a deal on our two night stay so it was great value. Thank you! A great stay for a reset before going back to work.

I loved this place. Communication was excellent with the host. I did feel like they were quite a few bugs and spiders around the house inside in the windows. I know this isn’t completely avoidable, but seemed like there could’ve been some spiderweb dusting that that’s my only feedback.
