The Creative Crucible: Why Showrunners and Authors Book The East Wing

Every creative project eventually hits the “stuck” phase.

Whether it’s a production team breaking the plot for a new TV series, a corporate copy team drafting a major launch campaign, or a group of novelists escaping for a distraction-free writing week, the enemy is always the same: friction.

The typical modern hotel or generic holiday cottage is fundamentally unsuited for deep-focus creative work. The tables are too small for script layouts, the Wi-Fi drops when five people jump on a cloud document, and the environment lacks the gravitas needed to get into the flow state.

If your production room or writing circle is looking for an inspiring, deeply peaceful environment to lock in and get the work done, The East Wing at Rufford Park Lodge is engineered for deep focus.

Forget Cabins With Hot Tubs When You Can Have A Whole Cottage

Why Cabins With Hot Tubs Might Leave You Exposed

Many people now look for accommodation with hot tubs in the search for some much needed rest and relaxation during their getaways, but do they always turn out to be what you are expecting?

Their popularity means many cabin style lodges and log cabins have added tubs which can range from the smaller domestic spa to wooden barrel style tubs, but when you are paying a premium for this facility do you really want to spend your time away in something you might keep fish in at home, when you deserve the real thing?

Due to their size and weight they will almost always be outside and often not in a secluded spot, leaving you to put bravado before dignity. Then there is the question of water quality – if it smells like a stagnant pond then that’s essentially what it is. Never feel obliged to step into a tub just because it is there. If it doesn’t look or smell right then take it up with the management straight away as Legionnaire’s is a serious health issue that hot tub owners need to be continually vigilant about. Many are of course, but if you are not convinced, don’t chance it.

If you happen to be looking for family or group accommodation in the Nottinghamshire area, our holiday cottage sleeps up to ten adults and you will find a premium hot tub situated in our private courtyard where you can get all the rest and relaxation you need without concern. We use bromine rather than chlorine to ensure water quality as it is kinder to the skin, and our hot tub is inspected and cleaned by a professional company between every booking. During your stay it filters, cleans and heats itself automatically.
