The lodge is noticeably more spacious than a static caravan. The lounge and open plan space with smart TV and air-conditioning offers a sense of space and comfort. Gas central heating is in every room. The south west facing balcony offers al fresco dining. The balcony gate with key ensures it is child and pet secure. The driveway accommodates two standard vehicles.
The main bedroom with air conditioning is spacious and easily accommodates a travel cot (provided). The single bedroom is flexible since it has a "two in one" single bed. This means it can have two single beds made up or just one. A max of 4 guests to sleep comfortably.
The private bathroom has a full size bath with shower, essentials and towels. The kitchen is fully equipped with essentials including air fryer, blender, sandwich toaster, coffee machine, cooking essentials (oil and condiments) and cleaning products.
The lodge is located in a quieter area of the holiday village. Just a few minutes walk is the River Nene, and in the other direction are two fishing lakes and nature walks.

We love this holiday village so much that we decided to stay all year round! That's when we invested in another lodge and created this holiday home for our family and friends, so they can visit us and enjoy holidays too! When the lodge is available, we welcome solo travellers, couples, families, house trained, well behaved dogs and people working away from home.
We work together; Darren attends to the general maintenance, and I manage the bookings. Please don't hesitate to ask us any questions or make special requests. We are readily available to resolve any issues that may arise, and answer questions. We do our best to ensure our guests have a comfortable and enjoyable stay.
I work as a counsellor and psychotherapist so I am interested in the rich diversity of people and cultures, and enjoy hosting people from far and wide.
I find ways to live therapeutically; living close to nature, walking our little dog, meditating and being creative are some of the ways I do this, and the holiday village provides the perfect environment for this lifestyle.
