One of our Coastal Retreats Collection
Located on the outskirts of this pretty coastal village, just a short stroll to Embleton beach, The Lodge is an independent wing of an early 20th century country house which has been lovingly refurbished by its owner, Anne, who taking inspiration from the works of Charles Rennie Mackintosh has styled this couple's Retreat in homage to the Glasgow Style.
2024 is a year of Celebrations at The Lodge@Shirewater as the house is 100 years old as well as it being 15 years in April since Anne first started letting it out. Any new bookings with an arrival date in 2024 will benefit from special price reductions to celebrate.
The Lodge is a peaceful haven for a couple looking to relax, take strolls around the extensive five-acre grounds of river, orchard and woodland or wander down to the white sands of Embleton Bay. Arriving to freshly baked bread, this property is romantic and inspiring, there are walks along the river and through the woodland and orchard at this 20th Century art nouveau era country house with its clever blend of contemporary wallcoverings, beautiful fabrics, quirky items, oak and painted furniture, relaxing colours and up to the minute kitchen and bathrooms - all of which would not look out of place on the pages of household interior magazines. Spend the evenings on the decked area outside the cottage enjoying some freshly cooked produce from the garden, which is complimentary for guests, or snuggle up in the spacious lounge with its stylish log burner. The exceptional master bedroom has a large ensuite with double shower and free standing bath, and there is an additional ground floor bathroom.

CANDID COMMENTS
Almost perfect!
The Lodge is attached to the owner's house but privacy should not be an issue, although you may see the owner walking past to the greenhouse occasionally! Mobile reception can be erratic at the Lodge and in Embleton generally, but there is a landline phone.
TO NOTE
Whilst we take great care to represent our properties and their facilities as accurately as possible, the décor, furnishings and facilities shown in images and video tours may occasionally be subject to minor change.
Really only suitable for a babe in arms, but The Lodge has played host to a few toddlers too.
