Willow - Glass Lake Retreat with Hot Tub for Two

Summary:

Willow Lodge sits low on the water, quiet and undisturbed. You’ll wake to floor-to-ceiling glass views across the water and glimmering sunlight across the surface when the sun hits just right. Step onto the decking for a swim or sink into the hot tub, then curl up by the log burner as evening settles in. Ideal for two, it’s a calm, quiet lodge made for settling into the slower side of things



The Space:

Willow Lodge is an architect-designed, glass-fronted retreat set low on the water with uninterrupted lake views. The mezzanine bedroom overlooks the lake, and the open-plan living area has a log burner and underfloor heating for warm, quiet evenings. You’ll find a Smart TV with Netflix, Bluetooth speaker, Starlink WiFi, and a fully equipped kitchen with a Nespresso machine. Designed for calm, effortless stays.

Interaction with Guests:

Everybody finds peace in a different way, and that’s how it should be. From the moment you book, you decide the pace, and we’ll be there to help you plan, and create moments that really matter. It’s that little extra layer of support we offer to make sure everything runs smoothly. Thoughtful service, that never gets in the way of a good moment.



Whether that means a slow morning with a fresh pot of tea and a long soak, or a day out exploring neighbourhoods and nature - we’ll guide you, so it all unfolds just the way you’ve pictured it.
