Birch LODGE

Woodland bathing, starlit evenings & slow living beneath the trees

Hidden in a peaceful corner of the woodland, Birch Lodge is designed for guests looking to truly switch off and soak up the slower pace of life.

Surrounded by trees with sweeping views across the Rutland countryside, Birch combines the magic of canvas living with thoughtful touches that make every stay feel special — from cosy evenings by the fire to outdoor bathing beneath the stars.

Follow the woodland path past the wildlife pond and across the bridge to discover your secluded retreat, complete with elevated deck, private outdoor bathing area and endless opportunities to reconnect with nature.

At the heart of the lodge is a traditional wood-burning stove, keeping Birch warm and cosy whatever the season. Whether you’re cooking breakfast slowly in the morning, warming up after woodland walks or settling in for relaxed evenings together, the lodge is designed for simple, comfortable living.

Inside, Birch sleeps up to six guests (max. 4 x adults) and features:

  • A king-size master bedroom
  • A twin bedroom
  • Bespoke cabin beds children will love

The fully equipped kitchen includes everything needed for relaxed family meals, alongside a fridge/freezer to keep drinks chilled and treats ready for sunny afternoons on the deck.

The private bathroom features a beautiful slipper bath with shower mixer, luxury toiletries and hot water on demand.

But what makes Birch truly special is its private rear deck, where two outdoor slipper baths sit side by side amongst the trees — perfect for slow mornings, peaceful evenings and soaking beneath Rutland’s dark, star-filled skies.

Outside you’ll also find:

  • Wood-fired pizza oven
  • Fire pit
  • Hammocks beneath the trees
  • Spacious outdoor dining area
  • Elevated deck with countryside views

As the sun sets, listen for owls calling through the woodland, watch bats dart overhead and keep an eye out for deer quietly wandering between the trees.

Although wonderfully off-grid (no power outlets), Birch still includes modern comforts including solar-powered charging points, lighting throughout and everything needed for a relaxed and comfortable stay.

No crowds. No noise. Just crackling fires, fresh air and the kind of peaceful escape that’s becoming harder to find
