I don’t tell many people this…

But I think Wildflower Wagon is our best space for privacy. It is a stone’s throw from the water and sits tucked amongst wildflowers for a really tranquil stay. The outdoor bathroom is so special too, secluded away in its own little woodland glade.

Getting your food orders organised so you can fully relax on arrival is highly recommended. Once you’re here it’s hard to tear yourself away from the water!
Hoping our guests this weekend have enjoyed the magical combination of wild swimming, pizza and choccy treats!

I’m so annoyed with myself for missing the wild garlic season! My wild garlic salt is one of the best things I make, so useful and tasty.
But necessity in the mother of invention so I’m trying a new floral infused sugar instead. The lilac season is so short but they are looking and smelling incredible at the moment. The scent is quite citrusy I think so I’m planning a gorgeous lemon drizzle next weekend!
If you’ve got a lilac bush or pass one on a walk, you just need a couple of flower heads to pick the petals off and layer up with granulated sugar. Keep it somewhere dark and cool, after a week the petals will have dried up and infused their oils into the sugar.
What recipe would you use this fresh floral sugar in?

A little throwback

It’s always good to reflect and see how far you’ve come and to appreciate that things usually work out for the best!

When we initially planned our cabin at the edge of the swimming pond, we had planned for it to have a sauna inside.

A global pandemic sent material costs through the roof and I spent a memorable day chasing down the last of the plaster in Cambridge, paying a fortune for half bags here and there.

We had to shelve the sauna plan but picked up a very lovely sofa which was the perfect fit and the much adored ‘reading book’ was born.

Thanks to all your bookings we have now been able to add a much better option (without losing the reading nook!).

A very handsome outdoor wood fired sauna now sits right at the water’s edge and is bookable by all our guests.

So thank you if you’ve stayed and helped create this oasis, I hope you’ll be back to enjoy the upgrade xx
