Skylark

About this property

Skylark is a fine countryside lodge resting in East Leake, Nottinghamshire, enjoying open views across surrounding fields, off-road parking for one car, and an inviting outdoor space complete with garden furniture and a firepit barbecue. Designed as an adults-only retreat, this single-storey escape is ideal for couples seeking a rural setting with character, where alpacas graze in neighbouring fields, and the pace of life feels pleasantly unhurried. Step inside to discover a thoughtfully arranged open-plan living space, where the kitchen, dining area, and sitting area blend seamlessly. Underfloor heating and gas central heating keep the lodge warm throughout the seasons, while the compact kitchen provides everything needed for relaxed self-catering.

Meals can be enjoyed at the dining table before settling into the sitting area, a welcoming spot to unwind and take in the countryside outlook through the windows. The double bedroom offers a private retreat, complemented by an en-suite walk-in shower with a heated towel rail, adding a practical touch to your stay. Outside, the garden invites time spent in the fresh air, whether you’re enjoying a morning coffee, watching the alpacas nearby, or preparing an evening meal over the firepit barbecue as daylight fades. The setting makes it easy to slow the pace and enjoy simple pleasures in a rural environment.
