About this property
Tucked away on the outskirts of Huntley, Gloucestershire is this romantic, contemporary lodge, Meadow Lodge @ Berrys Place Farm. An ideal countryside retreat for up to four, this snug abode is in a beautiful setting on 8-acres of grounds with meadows, an orchard and fishing lake, whilst being within easy reach of the Cotswolds and the Wye Valley AONB. The lodge has an impressive, bespoke design with two separate pods with an interconnecting door, and a classic wooden interior paired with contemporary home comforts. Be welcomed by an open-plan living space where you can prepare basic meals in the kitchen area, equipped with a two-ring induction hob, microwave, and fridge/freezer. Serve a romantic dinner for two at the dining table, followed by a cold beverage on your private patio with outdoor seating; sit back and take in your tranquil, country surroundings. Back inside, snuggle up on the large sofa to watch TV, before retiring for the night. Freshen up in the walk-in shower, while the heated rail keeps your towel warm, and catch your rest in the double bed just next door. Start your day with a wander around the well-kept grounds with plenty of picnic spots, outdoor seating, and why not pack your fishing gear and head to the lake? Nearby, you'll find The Fairview Gardener & Tea Room, The Kings Head pub, and a convenience store in the village of Huntley. For a change of pace, the city of Gloucester is a short drive away with its majestic, 11th-century Cathedral, Barnwood Park and Arboretum, and tours of the historic Gloucester Prison, all surrounded by nature reserves and country parks. The Cotswolds are just nearby for romantic days out exploring honey-coloured villages, plenty of walks through the likes of Haresfield Beacon & Standish Wood, and historic sites such as Great Witcombe Roman Villa and the quirky Painswick Rococo Garden. More idyllic walks await to the north through the Malvern Hills AONB, or perhaps you'd prefer walking, cycling and canoeing through the Wye Valley? Be sure to stop off at Ross-on-Wye for riverside walks, the Thomas Blake Memorial Garden, and the nearby Ross-on-Wye Golf Club. The valley is home to a number of attractions such as the ruins of Goodrich Castle, hikes up Coppett Hill, the sprawling Forest of Dean, and the National Trust's The Kymin. Discover a spectacular region of England with your other half at Meadow Lodge @ Berrys Place Farm.
Huntley is a small village north of the Forest of Dean. There is a 19th century church, a village hall, a gastropub, and a spar here. Huntley Quarry, home to a volcanic suite of rocks, will become the county's first geology reserve. The Docks, St Oswald's Priory, and the 11th century Cathedral with King Edward II's tomb are all within 8.5 miles of Gloucester. Visit the Wye Valley and Forest Dean for opportunities to walk, cycle, fish, and follow sculpture trails. Huntley is a great base for exploring this area.

We had plenty of space to ourselves, it's was fun to explore the lake and say hello to the pigs with our kids. The lodge is so beautifully kept and was warm and cosy. We used it a base to visit Cotswold wildlife park and other local sights and walks. Thanks for a lovely stay.

The pod was on it's own, no one else to be disturbed and was also well equiped with your basic needs. Bed was comfortable and the pull out sofa bed was good too.The firepit was a plus, so hubby enjoyed collecting wood around the area on his morning walks although the host has a pile ready for use. The weather was good so bbq seemed to be a natural thing to do, as well as eating outside and watching the birds, rabbits and squirrels and there's a resident robbin that always perches on the chair in the morning. The welcome lemon cake and milk was a pleasant surprise. We enjoyed picking apples from you orchard. We are surely recommending Meadow lodge to our friends.Thank you very much, Anne and Gary. We will surely come back to do fishing at your lake. We had a great time.

My first impressions were, 'what are we doing staying in a Pod'? Never considered staying in a 'Pod' before, having seen 4 in a Bed programmes, but this place is something else. We absolutely loved this 5 day break. We had the worst rainy weather whilst there, but didn't care. So peaceful and great to watch the wildlife. Will definitely be returning. Many thanks to our hosts.
