The
Entrance
The lodge is entered via a large custom built bevel
glazed front door which makes the light from inside
dance through the glass, inviting you into the slate
paved entrance vestibule with antique Welsh pews. All
outside footwear is left on this level so slippers
are advised for your stay. Access to each individual
bedroom is off of this area. An impressive central
Oak staircase with Art deco chandelier and 'Red Velvet'
carpet leads you up to the vaulted Great room.
Positioning the Great room on the top floor has provided
the lodge with over 1700 square foot of communal space
and excellent views from all windows and balconies.
