Relaxing idyllic Lodge break near to sightseeing opportunities

[emilyofnewmoon]

DH and I are looking for a lodge with gorgeous views to relax in but with somewhere we can go sightseeing fairly nearby. A hot tub or spa onsite would be a bonus. We are in s Wales and would only want to travel 4 hours. Looking for this a midweek break this October. Anyone been to anywhere like this they can recommend please?

No hot tub, but you do get a roll top bath with views. How about one of the Splendens Lodges managed by the Beckford Arms on the Fonthill Estate. (Scroll right down to the bottom of the page)

Tisbury has a train station if you wanted to visit Sherbourne or Salisbury. Messums and Hauser & Worth are an easy drive away, Stourhead (NT) ought to be beautiful in October.

The pub food is great, and I think somebody can shuttle you up and down if you don't want to walk. Personally we enjoy getting breakfast ingredients delivered to cook on the little stove.

Thank you for some great ideas. Have noted them down for the future.

Delamere forest lodges are a straight run up the A49. There's loads to do nearby. Chester, Chester zoo, blue planet aquarium, Conwy castle, Liverpool, tons of gardens and National Trust/English Heritage properties.
