Chestnut, a hospitality group in East Anglia, has opened seven new lodges at The Weeping Willow in Barrow, Suffolk.
The expansion of the new lodges comes following the brand’s commitment to creating experience-led destination pubs with rooms and a rise in demand for short breaks in East Anglia.
The new accommodation is set back behind The Weeping Willow and is surrounded by a garden and meadow.
These dog-friendly timber lodges sleep up to five and feature large bi-folding doors.
Two of the lodges come with wood-fired hot tubs and others include super king beds and bunk beds.
According to Chestnut, the lodges also represent Chestnut’s commitment to being environmentally aware.
The methods chosen in the construction of its lodges support biodiversity and ensured minimal disruption to the land and surrounding habitats.
They offer a low-carbon stay with no single use products, energy saving systems and recycled glass carafes.
Philip Turner, founder and chief executive of Chestnut, said: “The Weeping Willow lodges have been one of our most exciting projects in our journey so far and support the increased demand we have seen from short breaks in East Anglia. The lodges offer a new style of accommodation and now guests from further afield can enjoy the food and overnight experience at one of our most popular destination pubs.”
