Why we love it

Perfectly positioned, beautifully made – Rookham View Lodge is the ideal spot to explore the West country, or just cosy up looking out on spectacular views


"The garden is totally dog friendly"

It was the perfect location for getting straight out for walks without having to get in the car to drive somewhere. The garden is totally dog friendly and Winston wanted to be out there the whole time - and for the humans, the view was amazing!

The doggie wash right outside the lodge is great for cleaning down those muddy paws before going back indoors.
