Deluxe and exclusive Glamping Lodge, set deep in the forest. Enjoy the lovely setting of this romantic, private spot in nature. Enjoy the amazing views of the forest and wildlife on your doorstep. There is a hot tub to relax while you star gaze at this one-of-a-kind location. Explore the walks and lakes nearby, and take in the area`s unique beauty, ideal for a special retreat for those who adore nature. Perfect environment for your well behaved small dog to enjoy long walks with you.


THE PROPERTY

The Lodge is an open-plan space, with a kitchen/dining area, sitting room and bedroom all in one, and a separate bathroom area. The light and airy space is chic, modern and tasteful, designed and decorated with relaxation and comfort in mind. The Lodge was completed in May 2022 by a team of speciality builders and carpenters that have worked to an extremely high standard, so there is no Lodge in the country quite like ours.


ACCESS

Guests will be able to access the Lodge, the hot tub and patio area, the parking area and the whole of the forest as you so please. We ask you to not use the side gate or the electric gate to enter the main house at any time due to our little dog, Rico.


LOCATION

You`re tucked away deep within Thetford Forest, a designated Site of Special Scientific Interest, where the only building in sight is your hosts` home. Woodland trails begin right at the gate, while a short stroll leads to Lynford Arboretum and Lakes, home to the towering Sequoia Avenue and a charming shepherd`s hut serving tea and homemade cake. For those feeling adventurous, wild swimming spots are also just moments from your doorstep.

Mundford village is a few minutes away for a meal at the 17th-century Crown Hotel. The Brecks is known for peace, big skies and rare birds like crossbills and hawfinches, and you may even catch horses swimming in the lakes. Center Parcs Elveden is around 15 minutes away and the Norfolk coast about 30, so there`s plenty when you fancy a change of scene.


GETTING AOUND

This is a rural spot and you`ll want a car to make the most of it. There`s private parking right beside the lodge, and the area`s walks, villages and attractions are all a short drive away. Brandon station is about a 5-minute drive, with trains to Cambridge and inexpensive all-day parking. The forest is wonderful for cycling too, from gentle lanes between villages to the mountain-bike trails at High Lodge, around 10 minutes away.


YOUR HOSTS

Jennifer and Tim, your two hosts, built the main house from the ground in 1997, creating a beautiful home in the heart of the forest. Over the years, hundreds of guests, passers-by and locals have commented on the idyllic, ethereal beauty of the location, which inspired the building of the Lodge, which commenced in November 2021. We are excited to share a piece of our home with you, that we truly believe is stand-alone in its epic location. One small, well-behaved dog is welcome. Please note that dogs must not be left alone or unattended in the Lodge at any time.

GOOD TO KNOW

This is a compact open-plan studio with the bed, sofa, and kitchen all in one room, so it suits a couple rather than guests wanting separate spaces. Maximum 2 guests with no additional visitors, and no parties or events. The hosts live in the main house behind the lodge; please don`t use the side gate or electric gate, as they have a small dog.


OPTIONAL EXTRAS

One well behaved small dog is welcome at £50 per stay, so please include any dog when you book. Early check-in or late check-out can be arranged for £40, subject to availability.
