Your stay at Heron's Nest

Heron's Nest is a spacious Scandinavian-style log lodge designed to offer comfort, flexibility, and a relaxing countryside escape. Sleeping up to two guests, the lodge features a generous ensuite bedroom which can be arranged with either a luxurious super king-size bed or twin single beds, making it ideal for one or two guests.

Peaceful lakeside setting

Directly overlooking the 'long pond', Heron's Nest enjoys a prime location within Willowbank Lodges' private 3.5-acre grounds. Shared with only four other lodges, the peaceful setting offers beautiful views, abundant wildlife, and a true sense of escape.

The charming hamlet of Milkhouse Water provides a tranquil backdrop, with the Hampshire Avon bordering the estate and a crystal-clear chalk stream winding through the landscaped grounds. It's the perfect place to unwind, spot kingfishers and waterfowl, or simply enjoy the sounds of nature.

Outdoor living

A spacious enclosed veranda extends your living space outdoors. It's ideal for dining al fresco, enjoying your morning coffee, or relaxing with a glass of wine while overlooking the long pond. The enclosed design also offers added peace of mind for guests travelling with dogs or young children.

Private parking for one car is available within 30 meters of the lodge.
