The Lodge- sleeps 4

Kick back and enjoy the beautiful views of Highclere Valley from our two shepherd’s hut locations, The View and The Nest or our newest addition of The Lodge, a stylish two bedroom abode.

At Highclere Valley, you’ll find yourself amongst a historic 300 acres of undulating hills and lush grassland, earmarked for the rearing of thoroughbred horses since 1902.

There are top class racehorses grazing alongside Ryeland sheep and Dexter cows.

Our nearby events space, The Tractor Shed, is open on the last Friday of each month from 6pm-12am for our great fun street food & live music events.

  • Your days could be spent exploring the rest of the North Wessex Downs National Landscape, exploring the famous Highclere Valley that surrounds your space, or heading to the many fantastic places to eat in easy reach. When the sun begins to set, the festoon lights come on, and you’ll be roasting marshmallows over the firepit below twinkling lights, and shining stars – and you can toast a spot well found.
