Built in 1892, the old gamekeeper’s cottage at Forest Lodge is a hidden gem tucked away in beautiful woodland near Glastonbury in rural Somerset. Surrounded by abundant wildlife and stunning countryside, it’s the perfect place to unwind and reconnect with nature.
A two bedroom home-from-home retreat, relaxed and family-friendly with plenty to keep everyone entertained in our private woodland along with trampoline, lots of toys and a Wii!
Cozy amenities and fresh eggs from our hens (when laying), coffee pods and wood for the wood burner.
We’re also completely off-grid, generating our own electricity and water via solar panels, rainwater harvesting, and a borehole - though you’d hardly notice!
Lounging
Your private entrance leads into a roomy open-plan lounge and dining area, offering plenty of space for families to unwind together. The standout feature is a cosy fireplace, equipped with a wood burner for that warm and inviting atmosphere. Enjoy the added convenience of complimentary wood to keep the fireside glow alive!
Catering

Featuring a small table and chairs, gas oven, toaster, and refrigerator with a small freezer compartment.

Sleeping
Our spacious master bedroom boasts a luxurious king-size bed that ensures a restful night’s sleep.
The second bedroom is designed for flexibility, featuring two beds of which one is a trundle that accommodates both adults and children, all topped with a premium mattress topper for ultimate comfort.
Plus, we provide plush, fluffy towels to elevate your stay.
Outdoors
A large fenced shared garden has a patio with table, chairs, bench, and parasol solely for your use, plus a BBQ on request. For the kids you'll find a trampoline and swing.
Guests are encouraged to explore all 14 acres of the property. In the woodland, there are ponds (full in winter - spring), rope swings, a slackline, and abundant wildlife.
