Located in Ross-on-Wye, Herefordshire, Lynx Lodge is a spacious and light-filled cottage that offers a unique experience of total privacy and peace. Situated within an exotic animal retreat, guests can enjoy panoramic countryside views and the company of remarkable creatures. The cottage features a wood burner on each floor, cosy living areas, a well-equipped kitchen, and a hand-carved four-poster king-size bed on the ground floor. Guests can step out onto a stunning glass balcony with valley views and a fully enclosed dog-secure garden.
The shared grounds include an outdoor pool available between April and September, as well as solar-heated during July and August. At night, the surroundings come alive with solar lanterns and the sounds of owls, lynx, and honey bears. The owner operates a private animal rescue sanctuary with 200 exotic and farm animals across 35 different species. Income from the holiday cottages supports the care and well-being of the animals, including feed, medicines, vet support, enclosures, and enrichment activities.
Guests are reminded to leave the property as found and bring their own pool towels. Parking is available for one vehicle, and the cottage is suitable for adults only. Dogs are welcome, but no other pets are allowed. Lynx Lodge is one of four cottages available on the retreat, each offering a unique and enchanting experience.
