Help us makeover our lodge's attic space! 🤩

We have this lovely little space in the master bedroom and it's time to give it a makeover!

Problem is - we can't decide on what it should be 🤔
So, we thought we should ask YOU - the guests!

How would you like to use this space in the lodge? Book nook? A board games tables?
A wall projector and some cosy pillows and blankets? Meditation zone? Or something else entirely?

Let us know in the comments below!

Are you a smallholder, or an aspiring one?

We are halfway through Year 1 of our long-term rejuvenation plan for Carters Stables, which has been in the family for about 40 years 🌿

With an ethos of subsistence, communal-sufficiency and enjoying all of life's little moments, we're having a lot of fun 🌱

And we love sharing what we're doing - the fun, the chaos and of course, the animals! 🐐

Come and soak in the sunshine at the smallholding and take a peek (or more!) at all our projects 🌼

We've always believed that if you're going away on holiday, it should be completely LOVELY! 🍄🌾🌿🌻🌱🌼

With a focus on down-to-earth comfort instead of standard luxury, it's great to hear when our guests report back that they've enjoyed the cosiness that the lodge has to offer.

The lodge is available from 5th - 10th June, for any last-last-minute breaks; our last availability until 10th September ☀️
