Our bolthole for a cosy couple is tucked away in an ancient meadow in undulating countryside, where in decades gone by heavy horses, cattle and sheep would have grazed. The space Five-star is par for the course at Brook Lodge. Beautifully decorated and spacious, you’ll be wowed as soon as you open the front door. The state of the art lodge boasts the very best of open plan living. Cook up a storm in the fully equipped kitchen, watch Netfiix on the bespoke sofas and enjoy the latest technology.
