“We call it the Reeds-mobile,” says Beth, our friendly host and concierge, as she zooms us down to one of South Lodge’s new luxury lakeside lodges, The Reeds, in a brand new electric buggy.
Our lodge, Dragonfly, certainly has a luxury feel, with two-storey windows, a copper whirlpool bath overlooking the lake, and homemade macarons and Ridgeview fizz awaiting us in a chic wooden ice bucket. Beth beckons us over, keen to show us to her favourite part of the lodge: the hatch next to the front door, in which staff will leave our breakfast hamper in the morning.
