Lilac | Canal side lodge

Stay on a peaceful working farm, home to our family-run business with canal boats, holiday homes, and a quiet campsite. We are set beside the Kennet & Avon Canal, just steps from the iconic Caen Hill Flight of 29 locks. Enjoy open fields, birdsong and slow-moving boats for company. The towpath leads directly to nearby pubs, perfect for a relaxed walk and a good meal without needing the car. Ideal for walkers, cyclists, and anyone craving fresh air and a gentler pace of life. The space Lilac has been completely transformed with a high-quality, modern aesthetic. Designed to feel both fresh and familiar, the heart of the lodge is its redesigned open-plan living space, where contemporary style meets the tranquil pace of canal side life. - Modern Interiors - Step into a bright, airy environment defined by clean lines and sophisticated finishes. The previous traditional style has made way for a sleek, contemporary look, featuring new limed oak flooring that runs seamlessly through the lounge, kitchen and hallway. The kitchen is a standout feature, redesigned with elegant grey marble-style worktops that offer a high-end feel and improved functionality for preparing holiday meals. - Cozy Touches - While the look is modern, the "home-from-home" comfort remains. The lounge features a Zanussi electric inset fire, providing a realistic flame effect and a warm focal point for relaxing evenings. We’ve kept the plush carpets in the bedrooms to ensure a soft, warm feel underfoot, while fresh soft furnishings, including new curtains and cushions, add layers of texture and comfort throughout. - Premium Amenities - We’ve equipped Lilac with everything you need for a stress-free stay. Enjoy movie nights on the brand-new Samsung Smart TV, and take advantage of the upgraded kitchen featuring a full-sized 174-litre fridge-freezer and an integrated dishwasher to make clean-up effortless. New energy-efficient LED lighting throughout ensures the lodge is always perfectly lit, whether you want a bright morning or a soft, atmospheric evening. - Outdoor Living - The transformation extends outside to a completely remade patio area. We have created a perfectly level, easy-access surface directly from your front door, making it the ideal spot for an alfresco breakfast. Nestled within a private, quiet orchard, you can enjoy the spacious lawns and mature trees while watching the canal boats drift by just a few yards away. Guest access Guests have exclusive access to the entire lodge and its private, newly remade patio. Lilac is set within a spacious, quiet orchard at Foxhangers, offering generous green space and easy, level access from the front door. Ample parking is available right by the lodge.
