  • Small cluster of wooden lodges set within six secluded acres of countryside and woodland
  • A shared outdoor natural swimming pool surrounded by wildlife ponds or soak in your private hot tub
  • A great base for exploring the Wye Valley, Malvern Hills, Forest of Dean and the counties of Herefordshire, Gloucestershire and Worcestershire
Property code: OC-77379

You will be well served within this peaceful oasis where you can relax by the natural swimming pool or stroll through the acres of mature woodland. The complex lies on the edge of the historic market town of Ledbury, where you will find an excellent choice of amenities offering good local food and warm Herefordshire hospitality within walking distance. Known for its unique black and white timber frame cottages, Ledbury is a fascinating place to visit. Lying on the border of Herefordshire, Gloucestershire and Worcestershire, this ideal location showcases the region's finest country and wealth of historic towns and villages, including the Malvern Hills, or the cathedral cities of Hereford, Gloucester and Worcester. For the best of both worlds, there is a train station just a short walk away to take a stress-free train ride on the direct Worcester and Hereford line to London.

Drive through the electric gates and into the woodland and as daylight appears again you will gain your first glimpse of the cluster of traditional lodges. The wooden steps will lead you to the terrace where you can step inside to the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner. The lounge area is spacious with comfortable sofas ready for you to sink into and relax after a day exploring, there is also a Smart TV/DVD for you to enjoy a movie when the nights draw in. The kitchen/diner is set to the rear, the kitchen area is well-equipped with gas oven and hob, microwave, fridge/freezer dishwasher and washing machine. The dining area offers seating for everyone to enjoy a meal together. There is also a single bedroom on the ground floor and shower room with shower and WC. So, when the day is done, climb the stairs to the first floor where you will find two bedrooms, a king-size room to the front of the lodge with an enclosed balcony that’s perfect for a morning coffee. There is a further twin bedroom to the rear of the lodge with countryside views. There is a Jack and Jill shower room with shower and WC, this can be accessed from both bedrooms.

The lodge was perfect, very clean and comfortable. We used it for some relaxed family time so the equipped kitchen was great and large living room perfect. Very comfy couches and beds. Beautiful area and the amenities were great, the gym in particular was fully stocked and very impressive!

Perfect location to relax. So peaceful and even though there are several units on site, it was private and quiet. We loved thr swimpond and hot tub after was just perfect. A morning tea on the balcony every morning and a glass of wine on the veranda in the sun every evening made each day perfect. Close to activities too, we canoed, cycled and enjoyRead moreed the local towns too. Would highly recommend Hide

We had a great stay at Lily Lodge - it was clean, comfortable and well supplied for a group of 5, with the bonus of havung a private hot tub, and a gym on site. Easy to get to via car or train, and lots of countryside for walking with the dogs nearby. Comprehensive arrivals instruction were provided including how to find the property and what essenRead moretials were provided. An all around excellent base for a relaxing long weekend! Hide

Plenty to do in the area but the excellent facilities are a good standby if it rains (which it does). Ledbury a great town- butcher(s), a baker, two bookshops, good pubs and coffee shops. Lots of houses to visit, Eastnor Castle very dog friendly, Hellens very informal family home.

Fantastic place with everything you could possibly want. Our kids had a great time in the pool and toasting marshmallows around the camp fire area. The gym was well equipped and the hot tub was great. We could happily have spent longer than a week here and hope to come back again in the future and bring some friends with us.
