Lion Lodge is a pretty gatehouse at the entrance to the Newark Park Estate, with countryside views, woodland walks and garden strolls from the doorstep.

There’s a sitting room, dining room with a cosy log burner, bathroom and a kitchen which leads outside. Both the bedrooms, one double and one twin, are upstairs. You’ll find vibrant colours and comfortable touches throughout.

The cottage is a grade II listed building built by Rev Lewis Clutterbuck c1794, and it is likely that it would have reflected the gothic style of the main house and of Lower Lodge, the other holiday lodge on the Newark estate of the same period.

The estate sits on top of the Cotswold escarpment where views of the Ozleworth valley and the Mendip Hills unfold. You’ll find miles of walks past the main house, gardens and through the woodlands. A nature reserve and the footpath for the Cotswold Way are nearby.

Further afield, drive just 20 miles from the cottage and you’ll arrive in the Roman market town of Cirencester. Discover the town’s historic inns, and spend an hour or two hunting for gifts in Cirencester’s independent boutiques.
