Rose Lodge, Eco Lodge met hot tub

Summary:

Situated in a rural position with outstanding views across the Somerset Levels, Rose Lodge is set within the owners’ grounds, near the village of Aller, and artisan town of Langport. It has been lovingly converted from a former mobile home with cedar cladding and double glazing. After a day spent exploring this beautiful part of the country, you can relax in the inviting hot tub whilst savouring the 180-degree view across the Somerset Levels. Please check the children rules before booking.



The Space:

Rose Lodge is a converted mobile home, much loved by our family and friends. There are 15 steps up to the lodge from the parking area and the parking is private and off road. The interior is new with all modern facilities but you should note that the original ceiling is low and interior doors narrow.



Private, eco hot tub and garden for the exclusive use of guests in the lodge. The hot tub is heated by a bio-mass boiler which is a completely renewable energy source. Hot tub is ready for arrival and stays hot no matter how long you wish to stay in it, far better than the electric versions! The hot tub is very ergonomic and has easy to use temperature, jets and light controls and also has integral blue tooth speakers to play music whilst you relax. Private garden includes patio and seating area, gas BBQ.



CHILDREN - No under 5's due to dangers of steps in garden and hot tub - only exception to this is infants that are too young to be crawling - you would need to bring a Moses basket or similar as there is no room for a travel cot.



No Sunday arrivals I'm afraid



Guest Access:

There are lovely country walks over rural footpaths straight from the door, fishing, golf and quaint village pubs nearby. Within easy driving distance are many historic houses such as Muchelney Abbey, Forde Abbey, and National Trust’s Montacute House and Tintinhull House.

The Somerset Levels, with their abundance of wildlife and nature reserves, are on the doorstep, or you can explore the many other places of interest. Try some retail therapy at the shopping outlet of Clarks Village; discover Glastonbury with its enchanting tor and abbey; or drive on to the cathedral city of Wells with its Bishops Palace and character shops.
