Lodges and Den

There are three lodges which can be hired which are all self-contained and sleep medium sized groups. They are mostly used for weekend and week events but can also be booked for day events such as training and meetings. You can open two of the lodges up into one large lodge. There is also a self-contained den for adults.

 

Manners Lodge

Manners Lodge is self-contained accommodation for up to 20 people with its own kitchen, toilets and a main room for eating, meeting and having fun. It is a new lodge built in 2017 on the site of the old lodge. Manners Lodge has welcomed Beaver sleepovers, cub pack holidays and winter scout camps. It’s also been base camp for large camps and events on the campsite.

Set amongst the trees, it is one of the prime locations on the site, being central to many of the facilities and overlooking fields to the east and woods to the west. It comes with its own outside space.

Whistlers Lodge

The closure of the site during 2020-21 due to the pandemic, gave volunteers a chance to build this lodge ahead of schedule. It is adjacent to Manners Lodge and is a mirror of it. It is self-contained accommodation for up to 20 people with its own kitchen, toilets and a main room for eating, meeting and having fun.

Backed by mature oaks, this lodge has the largest outside space for use by the lodge users, for tents or activities.

Need more space? You can hire both Manners Lodge and Whistlers Lodge and open up the adjoining doors in the halls to give one large area.

 

 

Beech Lodge

Built during 2014-15 in true scouting spirit by a team of volunteers except where experts were needed, this lodge is named for the trees surrounding it. The lodge sleeps 24 and has its own kitchen, main room and toilets. The shower block is just next door for hot showers. Set amongst beech trees and catching the sun on its decking, its all about getting back into nature.

George’s Den
A new addition ready for 2022, a contained 2 bed den for adults. With its own kitchen, bathroom and lounge, it’s an option for scouters who would prefer beds rather than tents. Available to book alongside a camp or for a 2-person visit. One must be an appointed scouter and the other must at least hold a scout DBS.
