“Out at The Wagtails this morning getting everything ready for our next guests… and this was the view!

Big, rolling skies over the RSPB reserve, the marina in the distance, and that feeling of complete stillness you only get here.

It’s never the same twice, one of the many reasons this place is so special to us 🤍

It's not long now until the clocks go forward and warmer evenings arrive!

Overlooking the wide open skies of Wallasea Island, every evening feels like nature putting on its own quiet show. As the sun sets over the marina, the sky softens into warm golds and pinks, reflecting across the landscape and stretching as far as the eye can see.

Out here, there’s space to breathe.
Wildlife drifts across the horizon, birds settle for the evening, and the only sound is the gentle stillness of the countryside.

Peaceful. Open. Beautiful.

If you’re craving sunsets, wildlife, and a place where time slows down… Grapnells Lodge is waiting.
