About this property
Arrow Lodge at Ragley Estate - sleeps 2 guests in 1 bedroom
As you pull up to the main gates of Ragley Estate, there is a real sense of arrival. A symmetrical pair of pale stone gatehouses stand guard on either side of the entrance, the one on the left is Arrow Lodge.
This unique bolthole offers comfortable accommodation for two guests with a stylish bedroom overlooking the garden, a living room which occupies the original part of the gatehouse, plus a kitchen and a little sunroom, which offers a sunny nook for meals.
The enclosed rear garden is a real suntrap and is surrounded by high hedges. Two traditional Adirondack chairs offer a spot to relax and soak up the sunshine, those who like to stargaze will be hard-pushed to find a better place than from the warm waters of the wood-fired hot tub.
When staying at Arrow Lodge, you can enjoy the many events held throughout the year at Ragley Hall, including Classic Ibiza, Fireworks Champions, and DogFest. Perhaps you’re staying for your own celebratory event, with Ragley Hall known as a popular Warwickshire wedding venue. Take a look at the Ragley Hall website for information on the nearby activities.
Ground Floor
The entrance door is to the side of the gatehouse, the original door whilst still in situ, is no longer in use.
Bedroom:
This light and airy room is simply but elegantly furnished creating a restful place to lay your head. A super-comfy king-size bed is made with crisp white linens, and a grey woollen throw and is flanked by two bedside tables, topped with reading lamps. A wooden chest of drawers and wall hooks with hangers provides storage, there's also an elegant dressing table with a mirror hidden within.
Kitchen:
The compact and well-equipped kitchen is at the rear of the gatehouse and filled with everything you need including a full oven, fridge-freezer, dishwasher and washing machine. A door leads to a little sunroom with a dining table and two chairs, creating a useful space for meals. There are also doors from here into the garden.
Bathroom:
The shower room features a large shower cubicle with an electric shower and a hand basin. There's a mirror and a shaver point above the handbasin. The window to the side lets in plenty of natural daylight but can be completely shielded by the louvre blinds. Please note the toilet is separate from the bathroom.
Living Room:
The living room is in the original part of the gatehouse with windows to the front and rear. This room is cosy and bijou with the original entrance door hidden behind thick curtains and a fireplace (not currently in use). Sink into the sumptuous velvet sofa after a busy day at one of the Ragley events or exploring the local countryside and find a good film to lose yourself in on the Smart TV.
Outside
Arrow Lodge benefits from its own private enclosed garden and a wood-fired hot tub. There is also a parking space by the lodge for one car.

What makes this property unique
Arrow Lodge offers a unique opportunity to stay in one of the gatehouse lodges that flank the entrance to Ragley Hall. This magnificent stately home is the ancestral seat of the Marquess of Hertford, who counts Henry VIII's third wife Jane Seymour amongst his far distant ancestors. This original gatehouse is one of a pair that still occupies the main entrance to the estate, and it has now been converted into a one-bedroom escape just for two. Step inside and you'll find a spacious bedroom, a well-fitted kitchen, and a cosy living room. To the rear is an enclosed garden with a wood-fired hot tub and a pair of Adirondack chairs.
