Eco Lodges
reconnect with nature
Chaucer Barn has designed and built 5 cutting edge, self-contained eco lodges hidden in the woods. They are exquisitely crafted and luxurious and can accommodate up to 4 guests each. A short walk from the Barn, each with a view into our magical rewilded valley. There are two large lodges and three smaller lodges. They feature all the comforts of home in an awe-inspiring location.
Each lodge nestles in a unique setting, with bathing and kitchen facilities, a wood-burning stove complete with logs, mood lighting and the gorgeous views and sounds of the parkland and it’s wildlife.
Home from home
Luxuary in Miniature
Because you have exclusive privacy at Chaucer Barn you will have all day in which to relax with your house guests, sink your roots and take ‘ownership’ of the Barn. Therefore, when the majority of your friends and family arrive for the wedding day you will have already adopted Chaucer Barn as your home. When your guests arrive you are inviting them into your space, unlike the typical wedding venue where you arrive (and leave!) at the same time as your guests so that it is the venue essentially plays host.
Think of it as your own private estate. We get out of your hair, allowing you to entertain your guests, no differently from how you would at home, only here you have acres and acres of beautiful, award winning space.
Small lodges
There are three smaller lodges, each one fitted out to the same high standard as the large lodges. Two of them are constructed from London Plane timber, and one is constructed from Oak, hence their names; London Plane One and Two, and Oak. The bed and worktop in each are hand-made from prime examples of the same matching type of timber.
In each lodge we provide binoculars through which to watch our wildlife, including; Barn owls and a family of Kites. You may also be lucky enough to spot various mammals (including deer, foxes, badgers, rabbits, hares, squirrels, stoats, weasels, voles and field mice) as well as many species of birds, amphibians and invertebrates.

Your own private retreat
All of our Eco lodges have been hand built by local craftsmen; the fixtures, fittings, and beds are made from a specific species of ‘wiggly’ wood. A fully fitted kitchen, mood lighting and a wood burning stove complete the cabin-in-the-woods romance of these gorgeous luxury hideaways
Part of the exceptional north Norfolk coast (an AONB – Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty) our 5 lodges are just 2.5 miles from the beach.
The National Trust nature reserve, stretching from Blakeney to Wells boasts the UK’s largest colony of Grey seals, and at low tide some the biggest beaches you are likely to find anywhere in the world. To the south-east, the famous Norfolk Broads, are less than a thirty minute drive away.
