Description
Located in the middle of Eastnor Castle’s deer park and fully refurbished in 2010, Golden Gates Lodge provides single level accommodation for up to 4 guests and comprises two listed buildings, separated by a gold and black wrought iron gate.
Many years ago, carriages used to come down from the British Camp on the Malvern Hills, through Golden Gates, to the Castle gates in the village. More recently, however, the Lodge has been by-passed. Golden Gates lies close to the footpath which crosses the Park and takes walkers up onto the ridge of the Malvern Hills and the Worcestershire Way. The Ridgeway Wood, just behind the Lodge, is a Site of Special Scientific Interest, and visitors can follow the drive up to the gates at the top of the Ridgeway or join another footpath that crosses it and leads up to Clutters Cave, also on the Hills. Complimentary entry to Eastnor Castle during public opening times is available to all guests
The ancient town of Ledbury, 4 miles away, is well worth a visit and boasts a good selection of pubs, food and craft shops. Further afield and within a 30 minute drive are Tewkesbury Abbey, Hereford and Gloucester Cathedrals, Cheltenham, the Cotswold’s and Forest of Dean.
Accommodation: The two single storey gate lodges have been superbly refurbished and decorated to provide high quality self catering holiday accommodation in a unique setting.
The larger of the two lodges has a delightful sitting room, with free view TV/DVD, and equipped with wood burning stove, with a free supply of wood from the fully stocked log store by the rear entrance. The kitchen, with dining table for 4 people, is fully equipped with electric oven, ceramic hob, dishwasher, fridge freezer, washing machine and microwave. A kitchen door provides a side entrance. The twin bedroom has an ensuite bathroom with separate shower cubicle.
The smaller lodge, the other side of the gates, has been converted into a very cosy double bedroom, with separate lavatory, and a separate shower room with wash basin.
Close to the smaller lodge, but at a lower level and accessed down some stone steps, is the terrace with tables and chairs with magnificent views of the lakes and parkland.
