The Artist’s Retreat is an idiosyncratic gem, so-called in homage to 18th Century Romantic artist Thomas Gainsborough who fondly featured the land of the Lost Garden Retreat in one of his paintings entitled…. ‘Heneage Lloyd and his sister, Lucy’ c.1750.

The interiors shine with yellow accenting, mirroring the golden leaves depicted in Gainsborough’s paintings of Autumn ‘the painter’s season’.

Relax in the swinging love seat and take in the exquisite, tranquil landscape; this is the perfect place to surrender to your creative side.

We hope you will be greatly a-moo-sed by the legen-dairy Cowshed. A playful but subtle farmyard theme runs throughout this tent and it’s milking-parlour green enamel lamps and cow-skin rug are an udder joy.

The Cowshed is the twinkle in our eye and ensures a smile on even the most austere of faces.

At nightfall, why not bask in the eco hot tub and have a soothing, moo-d-lifting massage. And of course, feel free to stay up pasture bedtime ;)

This tent is inspired by grandad’s own fisherman's hut. Here you can relax on the deck, in seating fashioned out of a rowing boat and savour the wildlife dancing atop the lake. You might even spot a fish, if the otters don’t get there first!

When your head hits the pillow in the Fisherman’s Hideaway, your mind can sail away on our four poster bed; its headboard is adorned with oars to row you back to land safety when you wake up.

Follow the winding path along the lake, through the arboretum to The Woodsman’s Lodge. This is the most luxurious of our tents and is a comfy hideaway where clever craftsmanship meets woodsman’s retreat.

Snuggle in the sheepskin, relax in the rocking chairs and drift off in our driftwood four poster bed, lovingly handcrafted by a local artisan.
