Set on a working farm with a wealth of walking routes from the doorstep, this romantic glamping lodge in Gloucestershire is the epitome of getting back to nature. Enjoy beautiful walks along country lanes, or head 8 miles to the Malvern Hills, where ancient volcanic rocks and the Worcestershire Beacon offer views across up to 13 counties. The medieval market town of Tewkesbury (4 miles) is ideal for picking up your supplies or exploring its Abbey, or pop to Cheltenham (11.5 miles) for browsing Regency streets or catching one of its festivals. There's also Cheltenham Racecourse if you want to watch an event (12.5 miles away). Yellow stone villages and country pubs await you in the Cotswolds (15.5 miles), whether you're wandering the Painswick Rococo Garden (16 miles) or admiring the scenic ruins of the National Trust's Chedworth Roman Villa (28 miles).
Follow the tree-lined driveway and park up the car in your two private parking spaces. Admire your sympathetically landscaped grounds and lakeside location as you make the short walk from the car to the cabin. Step into the beautifully characterful open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner. The design is perfect for getting back to nature, with timber-clad white walls, whimsical beams and a wonderful arched roof. Settle into the cosy seating for a film on the Smart TV, while the well-equipped kitchen at the opposite end has everything needed to prepare meals for two. Once dinner is ready, slide onto the bench seating around the table, with air conditioning available to keep the space comfortable on warmer days. A useful storage cupboard and shower room with WC complete the ground floor, while the open-tread spiral staircase leads to a snug mezzanine bedroom with a pillowy king-size bed.
The living space spills onto an enclosed lakeside terrace, giving your pup room to potter safely while you sink into the private wood-fired hot tub. Stretch out between dips, then light the fire pit and cook dinner beside the water. Each spacious terrace has been cleverly designed with a covered section too, so a passing shower need not send you indoors.
