Mallard Lodge

About this property

Mallard Lodge is an inviting holiday cabin resting in Little Marlow, Buckinghamshire, complete with off-road parking, woodland and lake views, and a decked seating area overlooking the surrounding landscape. Perfect for couples seeking time away in the countryside, this attractive retreat combines rustic character with an enviable setting beside a lake, creating a wonderful base for discovering both nature and the nearby market town. Step onto the decking and take a moment to enjoy the ever-changing scenery around you. The outlook across the woodland and water provides a beautiful backdrop for morning coffees and leisurely afternoons spent outdoors. Inside, the wooden interior creates a warm and welcoming atmosphere, with thoughtful touches making the most of the space.

The separate kitchen and dining area offers everything needed for preparing simple holiday meals together, while the bedroom provides a bright place to settle after a day of exploration. Completing the accommodation is a contemporary shower room with a walk-in shower and heated towel rail, ideal for freshening up before heading out for the day or returning from lakeside activities. The nearby lake adds another dimension to your stay, with opportunities for wild swimming, paddleboarding, or simply sitting beside the water with a drink from the on-site café while taking in the view. When it is time to explore further afield, begin with Marlow, where the iconic suspension bridge spans the River Thames and riverside walks reveal some of Buckinghamshire's most picturesque scenery.

Venture to Henley-on-Thames and discover the River and Rowing Museum, elegant waterfront pathways, and the historic market town atmosphere. For a change of pace, visit Windsor, home to the magnificent Windsor Castle, Windsor Great Park, and the beautiful Long Walk, offering impressive views and centuries of history. From waterside adventures to exploring some of the South East's most celebrated destinations, Mallard Lodge is perfectly placed for an unforgettable getaway.

A picturesque Georgian market town nestled in between lush meadows and the forests of the Chilterns, Marlow is regarded as one of the loveliest settlements on the banks of the River Thames. Wander along its historic streets and explore the town’s selection of boutique shops, restaurants, bistros and cafes, Marlow is well known for its culinary delights even boasting a two Michelin Starred restaurant, The Hand & Flowers. A key attraction in the town would be its nineteenth-century suspension bridge, designed by William Tierney Clark and credited with being the prototype for his renowned bridge linking Buda and Pest in Hungary. Another claim to fame would be Marlow’s famous past residents. Mary and Percy Bysshe Shelley lived in Shelley Lodge on West Street for a number of years, most notably it was where the celebrated author finished her masterpiece, Frankenstein.
