The space Staying at The Lake House is like having your own private wildlife park with wandering peacocks, ginea fowl, ducks, geese and moor-hens. Nature is all around you. Outside the main window is a double decker treehouse and there is so much relaxed enjoyment, from reclining in the tree-house hammock, boating on the lake (you’re also welcome to fish on the lake if you have your own rod) enjoying a picnic in the treehouse, roasting marshmallows around a fire-bowl or going for some of the glorious and numerous footpath walks around the area. The site enjoys super-fast satellite Wifi for those guests who need to keep connected. Opening out from the Lake house is a large outdoor Mediteranean courtyard with lounge seating firebowl (logs available to buy for £15), gas bbq (£15) and pizza oven (we provide dough, sauce and cheese for £10 per pizza and £10 prep to use it) Note this area may be shared with guests staying in the Tiny House. Guests are welcome to use the lake for wild swimming or boating in front of the Lake House. There is a Spa deck next to the lake containing a 10 person Hot Tub and a Sauna. Both are wood-fired and need to be pre-prepped for guest use. A 2 hour Spa session using Hot Tub and Sauna is £25 per guest based on 5 people or more people using it. Inside the Lake House there is a movie projector (best used in the evening and projected on the back of the curtains in the lounge) and a bluetooth music speaker to play music through. And to make your stay extra special, you can arrange with us for a hamper full of delights from the Sussex Fine Food Company to be delivered to your Dome ready for your arrival (£100) which are full of delicious selections of Sussex cheese, freshly baked sourdough bread, chutney, chocolate, and local wine. The village of Henfield is a 20 minute walk away, and the South Downs way (5 minute walk) is an ideal cycle track, taking you towards Partridge Green in one direction and Steynning in the other. Guest access The courtyard area next to the Lake house may be shared if there are other guests. You're welcome to walk around the garden, use the tree-house and lake and courtyard.
