Only four lodges share this lake.

Bramley, Blenheim, Morgan and Harvester sit side by side at the top of our private coarse fishing lake, on our working farm at the edge of Hewish. Every lodge faces the water. Fields run out on every side, and a mown path follows the bank all the way round.

Run by the Dew family, who live on the farm.

  • 4 lodges
  • 1 private lake
  • Sleeps 6 per lodge
  • Open since 2015

Questions

Sorry, no. We’re a working farm, so we can’t take pets.

Yes. Each lodge sleeps six and children are welcome. Puxton Park is two miles away.

Yes, a few resident geese. They’re friendly if you leave them be, but keep an eye on little ones, and pack wellies.

Very. You’ll hear birdsong, the geese, and now and then a plane heading for Bristol Airport.

We’d recommend one. Buses are infrequent and taxis out here can be pricey. Each lodge has parking for two cars.

Check-in is from 4pm and check-out is by 10am.

Yes, free in every lodge. It’s rural broadband, so it suits browsing and messages better than streaming films.

All four lodges are non-smoking.

Families and friends are very welcome. We don’t take stag or hen parties, or groups of workers.
