Hawkshead Avenue leads you to the ‘Sunken Garden’ – an acre of north facing lawn featuring English oaks and New Zealand native flora forming a natural bowl hosting an amphitheatre of trees.

The Lodge is proudly situated above the southern aspect of the garden providing a sheltered alpine backdrop.

Access between The Lodge and the garden is terraced and seating areas have been created purely for enjoyment and relaxation. The poolside is no exception, harmonising sheltered privacy and a sunken amphitheatre with access from The Lodge forecourt – an oasis made for that intimate occasion, a wedding brunch or a romantic poolside candlelit drink at dusk.

The grounds and poolside allow external catering, BYO alcohol and music options on a discretionary basis.

Parking is ample including any external catering requirements.

Hawkshead Lodge & Gardens will also provide accommodation packages with the Venue setting.
