Somewhere for the weekend

Luxurious lakeside eco-lodges at Bainland, Lincolnshire

Close to the elegant Victorian town of Woodhall Spa in rural Lincolnshire, Bainland is a 45-acre eco park with romantic and stylish one-bedroom lakeside hunting retreats.

The accommodation combines North American-style mountain lodges set within beautiful English country garden surroundings.

This is eco luxury with a cherry on top, from furnishings by designer names to indulgent rainforest showers and underfloor heating.

Bainland’s eco credentials include the rewilding and reforesting of the estate with over 500 trees, overseen by Chelsea Flower Show winner Jody Lidgard. There are three newly created wild swimming lakes, and the cabins are built from reclaimed timber cladding.

The view from the Villeroy & Boch hot tub on the south-facing veranda is the ideal spot to unwind with a glass of fizz. Afterwards, cosy up in hotel-style soft robes and slippers and rustle up dinner in the Shaker-style kitchen. There’s a farm shop too for everything you need.
