Welcome

Hidden away, our private country estate nestles in the fold of a hill. Ben's Burrow offers a spacious, rural retreat for group or family gatherings.

The two storey lodge, with separate first floor flat, started life as a children's day nursery building and it has been stylishly transformed into a luxious holiday property, providing a unique, rural retreat.

Ben's Burrow provides guests with the perfect base from which to appreciate the beautiful sweeping views of the surrounding Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
