The Ling Lodges are ideal for large groups of friends or family who want to holiday together or celebrate a special occasion. Sleep up to ten guests simply by opening the interconnecting door and two lodges become one! Many off peak Friday and Saturday nights just £1190 for the two nights total cost for up to 10 people - getaway and enjoy the fantastic heated indoor swimming pool.
Located in the grounds of a gorgeous country house in a small hamlet, the lodges are half way between the popular towns of Stratford-upon-Avon and Henley in Arden (just three miles from each).
The Ling Lodges are ideally situated within a Parkland type setting behind Electric Gates affording a private position in the midst of wonderful countryside. Guests can enjoy sole and private use of the large heated indoor swimming pool. You share the Pool with no-one else. There are patio doors overlooking the enclosed and secluded back gardens where you can sit on a sunny day and enjoy a drink or BBQ. Having a private heated indoor swimming pool means that there is always something to do, whatever the weather!
The Ling Lodges are in a lovely hamlet which is ideally positioned within easy reach of a whole host of attractions and places of interest. Not only are they just a short drive from Stratford-upon-Avon and Henley in Arden, they are also close to Warwick with its impressive castle; the beautiful Cotswolds with its historic pretty villages and towns; and the NEC at Birmingham.
The popular and historic town of Stratford-upon-Avon, well known for being the birthplace of William Shakespeare, has much to offer with its shops, great selection of restaurants and most notably, The Royal Shakespeare Theatre. The whole area is steeped in History with numerous attractions to visit including: National Trust properties and gardens; castles; moated houses; canals (access to the canal is just a two hundred yard gentle stroll from The Ling Lodges); water parks; arboretums; farm parks and museums. There is also plenty to keep outdoor enthusiasts amused with fantastic walks (many starting from the front door), golf, clay pigeon shooting, horse riding, hot air balloon rides and watersports including both motor and rowing boat hire. You can purchase local produce at the superb farmers market to take back and prepare a special supper, enjoy a night at the theatre, visit a local brewery to sample the local ale or have a meal out in one of the many restaurants, hotels or pubs - all just a five minute drive from Ling Lodges!
For those who enjoy shopping, you will be spoilt for choice with some of the best shopping in the UK to be had at Warwick, Stratford-upon-Avon, Leamington Spa and Birmingham - all within very easy reach.
There are plenty of local pubs and restaurants to enjoy a meal out, along with village shops close by to pick up provisions. There is also a 24 hour Tesco just minutes away.
With so many attractions and activities to be enjoyed locally and the use of a fantastic indoor swimming pool and outside area, you will be torn between spending a relaxing day in, or exploring the area and its many delights.

Outside: There is private secure parking outside the Ling Lodges behind electrically operated gates. You will be given beepers on your arrival so that you will not even have to get out of your car to open and close these electric gates. The owners live in their house within the grounds with their two children and very gentle and friendly German Shepherd dogs so are available should you have any questions. There are several areas in the large garden area where you may sit and relax and take in the views over the adjacent fields where horses graze.
