Fantastic. Beautiful location in Little Stretton. Off road parking for one car.
The pictures don’t do the scale of the accommodation justice; in addition to what is photographed there is a downstairs room with a small sofa, perfect for putting luggage etc out of the way. There is also plenty of storage in the kitchen with a laser cupboard. You don’t have to worry about using the spiral staircase if you prefer not to as there is another outdoor staircase leading to your private enclosed courtyard garden with an entrance door to the bedroom (and outdoor table and chairs). Perfect place to sit and watch the sheep on the hill.
Wendy greeted us warmly (and socially distanced due to the pandemic!) and to our amazement had provided fresh scones with clotted cream, strawberries and jam. That I’m addition to a fresh loaf of cornbread, milk and plenty of tea/coffee.
The kitchen was well equipped and had basics including salt/pepper, sugar and oil. Again in the kitchen I couldn’t believe the space- the vaulted ceiling with exposed wooden beams is lovely. Great view of the hill too!
Bedroom with en suite: large shower with good water pressure, comfy bed with storage under, large dressing table and huge wardrobe.
Heating worked a treat and plenty of hot water. Haven’t tried the wood burner but it adds even more character to the lodge. Would recommend to anyone and will hopefully find dates to come back again!
