A family house built in 1938, we have lovingly restored and refurbished this magnificent Canadian-style ranch house and created a stylish, attractive and comfortable spot for our guests. Set on a plateau and surrounded by 17 acres of meadow and woodland, Knowles Lodge enjoys breathtaking views in every direction, in particular over Black Park and towards Simon’s Seat.
Accommodation is offered in three elegant and comfortable en-suite ground floor bedrooms. They all face west towards Hough Wood where, in May, you will see a stunning blanket of bluebells. We've taken great care to offer all the comforts you could wish for including plenty of towels, pure cotton linen, radios, hair dryers and shaver adaptors. Tea, coffee, hot chocolate and biscuits are available in the rooms for which we provide a thermos of fresh milk each evening. All bathrooms have power showers and a bath to let you soak after a long day walking. Wireless internet access is available throughout Knowles Lodge at no extra cost.
Whether you arrive on foot or by car, Chris & Pam will welcome you warmly with a cup of tea or coffee, preferably on the terrace (weather permitting) where, often as not, you can watch lots of pheasants feeding. Breakfast is served around a large gate leg table where a hot compote of fruit is followed by cereals and a full English breakfast. Porridge is also available on request for those cold winter mornings. We hope this will set you up for the day to enjoy walks and places of interest in the area.
We welcome children of seven and older, and have a large video and DVD selection for them to enjoy in the television room, or they can safely explore the gardens. Well behaved dogs are also welcome. |
