1 Bed in Lambourn (oc-b42716)

This enchanting lakeside hideaway is set on an award winning organic farm, nestled in the heart of the North Wessex Downs National Landscape. Sleeping up to two guests and surrounded by the sights and sounds of nature, it’s the perfect retreat for couples seeking a true digital detox. A must visit during your stay is the iconic Uffington White Horse (10 miles), one of Britain’s most remarkable landmarks. Set high on the hillside, it’s a wonderful spot for a scenic walk, a quiet picnic, or simply soaking up the far reaching views. Keen walkers will love exploring The Ridgeway (15.5 miles), which offers beautiful routes through rolling landscapes and ancient pathways, while the Vale and Downland Museum (11 miles) provides a fascinating insight into the heritage and history of the area. Alternatively, head to Highclere Castle (22.5 miles), world famous as the setting for Downton Abbey.


Enjoy the short drive or longer ramble down the peaceful farm track that leads to this off-grid property. On arrival, take a moment to savour the surrounding scenery of rolling fields, tranquil woodland, and a reed-lined lake that beckons wild swimming. The natural charm continues as you step into the accommodation, which boasts thoughtful eco-credentials such as air-source heating, and energy supplied from on-site turbines and solar panels. The social heart of the hideaway is the bright and airy open-plan living space, which combines a stylish kitchenette with a lounge and dining area.
