The Whitmore family, December stay
Woking → Hampshire, two-night lodge retreat
The Setting

Self-catering lodges sleeping two to six. Wood-burning stoves. Private hot tubs. Dog-welcome.
Open year-round
The Statement
A quiet collection of architect-designed lodges on the edge of Winchester — where the city thins to woodland and the golf course meets the South Downs.
