Lodges

Luxury and exclusive accommodation 

These establishments are often small and exclusive, and offer the finest of food, wine and facilities. They have an emphasis on relaxation and high levels of guest care, with as much privacy or interaction with others as the guest desires.

Most lodges will offer dinner, which will usually be included in the tariff along with other meals. Some options offer self-catering or a chef can take care of all your catering needs. Lodge accommodation is a unique experience of luxury, with each lodge offering their own type of character, atmosphere, cuisine, and hospitality.

Lodge accommodation is usually a rural escape from the pressures of everyday living, in seclusion and privacy. You can relax and unwind in a perfect romantic hideaway or for those who need to work in peace and quiet, a lodge is a perfect business retreat.
