A fabulous peaceful stay, but your just a short while away from lots of facilities. It's spacious well thought out. You can sit and watch the wildlife from the sofa or the patio. Our men folk unfortunately didn't catch any fish, but they both want you come back for another try.

We were absolutely delighted with the Lodge interior as we turned up in the dark on a winter's night and found it warm, with a laid long-burner and careful instructions for all the equipment. Swan Lodge and Heron Lodge were nicely lit up on the exterior and there was a good parking space making it easy to unload in the rain! The next morning when wRead moree pulled back the curtains, we were staggered by the beautiful view and the general location. Excellent coffee at the cafe at the end of the lane! Hide

Swan Lodge at Froggetts Farm is beyond beautiful. The lodge itself is so thoughtfully designed and stylish, perfectly equipped, and full of little touches that make it feel special, like real house plants and a fresh vase of flowers. The view is simply amazing. An absolute winner of a stay.
