Follow on Google News | Cottage Lodge: ‘Designer Chic’ in the New Forest this AutumnCottage Lodge in the New Forest is no ordinary B&B; this is not some spare room in a retired couple's house, but a genuine 'designer' property with hand made furniture and award-winning eco credentials.
By: Travel Dog PR Comments Christina Simons, the brains behind the property’s ‘eco chic’ look: “the very term ‘B&B’ can conjure up pre-conceived ideas of sparse, cheaply furnished ‘spare’ rooms being rented out by retired couples to bring in some extra income. “At Cottage Lodge, we had a firm idea of how we would make ourselves stand out from the crowd, by painstakingly designing all of our 16 bedrooms, plus our public rooms, giving each a distinct look and using hand-made furniture and environmentally- “All our hand-made furniture was crafted by local tree surgeon and wood sculptor Rob Dyer who resides in the New Forest and has a workshop here. “In keeping with our eco credentials, we also recently purchased an electric ‘Twizy’ vehicle, which guests can rent to glide around the forest without harming the environment or frightening the wildlife.” In addition to the three hand-made beds at Cottage Lodge, Dyer also made all the tables in the recently opened ‘Fallen Tree’ restaurant, from a very rare Black Poplar tree and, if the tables are placed in alignment, it is possible to make out the original shape of the tree trunk. Cottage Lodge has won numerous awards for its eco credentials; Rooms have LED lighting and low-energy light bulbs, eco paints and low impact building materials have been used throughout and one room even has a bike to power the TV! For the months of September and October Cottage Lodge is offering three-night, mid-week stays from £120 per person (two sharing) including the famous New Forest Marque breakfast and a free 30-minute ride in the Twizy (usually £9.50).
