spacious, peaceful, stylish property in a beautiful rural setting
We really loved the gate lodge - very spacious and comfortable. It has the most beautiful rural views but is also well located close to local towns and villages. We'd thoroughly recommend it.

About the host

Hosted by Esther Ervin

Host profile image
This beautiful gatelodge is at the entrance to our Family Farm which was purchased in 1923. It was originally built as a Porters Lodge for the Gentleman's Residence which is Scion Hill. When my Grandfather purchased Scion Hill it was occupied by workers from the family Flax Mill. In 2010 we decided that it should be refurbished into Self Catering accomodation. The original part of the building is now a spacious Kitchen and Living Room while there is a luxurious new extension housing bedrooms, utility room, bathrooms and a hall. The property is very light and airy with high ceilings, large rooms and plenty of windows to enjoy the view.

Why they chose this property

This is a unique property to stay in. It combines the original historic building with luxurious modern facilities.
For special guests there is a small welcome pack of locally produced food.

What makes this property unique

Relax in modern luxury while staying in a historic lodge built in 1840.
Watch the birds in the wooded garden, and dine outside when weather permits.
