Once a private home, this 19th century lodge is now a nature-first hotel and proud B Corp, meaning it does everything it can to support the environment.
From zero waste in the restaurant to its sustainable spa, South Lodge believes the best way of taking care of guests is to do right by the natural world.
Enjoy a dining experience like no other at Michelin-starred restaurant the Pass where you can watch culinary magic unfold before your eyes as head chef Ben Wilkinson’s team puts together a phenomenal tasting menu designed around the season.
Alternatively, you can taste modern, seasonal produce, much of which is plucked directly from the hotel’s walled garden and transformed by head chef Josh Mann and his team at three AA rosettes restaurant Camellia.
Meanwhile, Mediterranean-inspired cuisine is in offer at Botanica where you can choose from plant-based dishes or lean, healthy meats and fish at the restaurant, which has an ethos of dairy-free, zero-waste, maximum taste.
In 2024, the hotel announced the opening of The Reeds – lakeside and spa lodges allowing you to tap into the healing power of the natural world, with the stunning structures built in harmony with the countryside surroundings making them the perfect place for wildlife spotting or dipping your toe into wild swimming.
On the subject of the spa, nature has been the greatest source of inspiration here with the wild swimming pool and ecologically inspired treatments.
It has been specifically designed to integrate seamlessly with the surrounding landscape. In 2023, South Lodge was named the AA Spa Hotel of the Year.
Its inviting bedrooms and suites are the perfect base for your stay, providing a soothing space whatever you have planned.
