Within the tranquil setting at Great Wood there are 4 fully equipped self catering lodges, the lodges overlook a lake and are surrounded by 20 acres of deciduous woodland.
The luxurious timber framed lodges have a galleried roof and wooden oak floors throughout. They have been built on eco friendly principles incorporating flax and recycled newspaper for insulation, plant oil based paints, water conservation and energy saving lighting. Douglas fir cladding has been used on the outside which has been protected with eco friendly paints so that, the lodges blend into with the woodland environment. The lodges are for adults only (over 18 years).
The lodges are light and airy in the summer and warm and cosy in the winter.
