Welcome

The Chicken Shed Lodge is a lovingly restored, modern and stylish rural retreat perfect for a romantic getaway or family break.

Nestled in tranquil woodlands, in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, it is the ultimate haven for those in search of rest and relaxation.

The Chicken Shed Lodge allows guests to make the most of their idyllic surroundings with a wraparound outdoor decked area featuring charcoal pizza oven and barbeque, two hanging rattan seats and table and chairs for al fresco dining. There’s even a hanging bench on the front deck, from which you sit back and gaze out over our pony paddock and the battlefield landmark of Edgehill.
