An Exclusive Outdoor Sanctuary for Unwinding Together
While the historic stone walls of the lodge protect your peace inside, the generous layout opens up beautifully into a private, fully enclosed courtyard engineered for effortless outdoor living. Acting as the true central hub of your stay, this versatile space seamlessly bridges the gap between the indoors and out.
With direct access from the kitchen’s main door, alongside independent double French doors opening out from both the living room and the dedicated dining room, the layout allows a large group of ten to drift naturally between social spaces.
Freedom to Relax: Secure, Pet-Friendly Living
A true country escape should mean total peace of mind for every member of the family—including the four-legged ones. Because the courtyard is completely enclosed, secure, and entirely private, it serves as a worry-free safe haven. Parents and pet owners can truly kick back; you can safely let the dogs off the lead to stretch their legs and let the children play freely without the need for constant, high-alert supervision.
Alfresco Dining & Adaptable Comfort
Designed to adapt quickly to your group’s dynamic, our premium all-weather seating can be effortlessly configured to suit the mood. Set it up as a traditional arrangement of six chairs and four modular seats for a full family gathering, or transform the pieces into relaxing chairs and deep footstools for a lazy afternoon in the sun.
At the center sits a large, elegant glass-topped table built for long, sprawling alfresco lunches and evening drinks. Positioned just steps from the indoor living areas, keeping the table stocked with chilled wine from the American-style fridge or fresh ice from the freezer is completely frictionless.
The Hot Tub Experience: Daylight or Starlight
When the evening cools down, a dedicated wooden decked path—softly illuminated by low-voltage post lights—guides you down to the premium six-person hot tub.
To maximize your time here, the water is heated and ready for you the exact moment you arrive. It is a true all-season luxury; whether you are catching the crisp morning air under the winter sun or melting away the day’s walking lines under a canopy of Sherwood starlight, the experience is completely unaffected by the weather. To keep the temperature locked in perfectly between your sessions and to ensure the courtyard remains completely safe for little ones, the insulated cover is easily replaced when not in use.
Sprawling Green Views
Beyond the courtyard walls, the lodge’s grounds continue to unfold. Behind the secure electric gates at the front of the property lies a manicured garden area, while a further garden stretches out across the rear of the estate. From almost every vantage point, your view is framed by rolling panoramas over the historic Deer Park and the ancient, whispersome edges of Sherwood Forest.
