If you are looking for a relaxing, peaceful break away from it all, then Willowbank Lodges is the ideal place to stay. Situated in the hamlet of Milkhouse Water, just a mile and a half from Pewsey and 8 miles south of Marlborough, the setting couldn’t be more idyllic.
There are 5 lodges – River Birch and Heron’s Nest are one-bedroomed; Bullrush, Dragonfly and Kingfisher are two-bedroomed.
All of the lodges are spacious and are fitted out to a very high specification, including hand-built, Shaker-style kitchens, comfortable sofas and beds with cotton bedding and goose feather and down pillows (please let Willowbank Lodges know if you have an allergy to organise non-allergenic pillows). The kitchens are fully-equipped with fridge/freezer, cooker, microwave and dishwasher with supplies being provided for cleaning and you will also find ice cubes ready in the ice trays!
The verandahs which are a feature of all the cabins are ideal for the unpredictable British summer – ideal for a shady spot when it’s very hot and as shelter when it’s raining. And who wouldn’t want to sit outside in all weathers? The setting is quite stunning – 1.5 acres with a lake as it’s centrepiece and a stream running through the grounds. And if you are bringing your dog with you, the verandah also serves as a safe, enclosed space for your dog.
There is wheelchair access to some cabins, with adapted bathroom.
Willowbank Lodges is an ideal location for walking and cycling with the Kennet & Avon Canal just 100 metres away. You won’t have to walk along main roads – just quiet country lanes and foot paths.
Nearby villages include Pewsey, Milton Lilbourne and Wootton Rivers. The magnificent Martinsell Hill is also close by and is perfect for a picnic.
