Your Experience

By the Water's Edge
Front-Row Seat to Stillness
Wake to the gentle ripple of water and the rustle of reeds. Otters Loft sits steps from the water, offering a sense of calm that lingers long after you leave.

Naturally Private
Off the beaten path
Follow winding tracks to somewhere slow. Here, the outside world feels a little further away, inviting you to switch off and settle in.

Ultimate Comfort
Cosy From the Inside Out
Sink into king-sized beds, wrap yourself in luxury linens, and unwind with Wildsmith toiletries. Every detail is designed to ease you gently into calm.

Outdoor Dining
Fireside Dining, Lakeside Living
From breakfasts on the deck to evening barbecues, dining at Avington is all about slowing down and savouring the setting.

Rooted in Nature
A front-row seat to the wild
From grazing sheep to the rustle of reeds, nature is your neighbour - offering calm, clarity, and inspiration.

Wellness, the Wild Way
Nature as your remedy
Whether it’s our lakeside sauna, wild swim, or fireside pause, this is slow, nourishing living made beautifully simple.
Words from the Wilderness
J - Stayed in March 2025
"Visited for a couple of nights with friends and really can’t compliment this place enough, we had an incredible stay. Staff went above and beyond to make sure we had a good time.
We stayed in Otters Loft which is a very nice and well equipped apartment which sits alongside a flowing stream in the beautiful estate. We had use of a BBQ as well as a firepit, which was pre-lit for our arrival.
Beds were incredibly comfy and the double rooms all have en-suites and TVs. The living areas are well equipped with a TV, boardgames and blankets to really relax.
Would highly recommend Avington for a family/friends get together or a couples retreat in the cabins to enjoy the beautiful countryside in luxury accommodation with access to complimentary sports equipment to enjoy the grounds."
