Weavers Lodge is located on a small rise overlooking North Gorley, a really beautiful village in Hampshire. From the Lodge there are stunning views across the New Forest, and loads of walks. The Lodge has everything needed to enjoy a break away, it was spotlessly clean, and the outside seating area has stunning views. From the Lodge it is a lovely 10 minute walk to Hockeys cafe and deli, a 20 minute walk to Hyde tearooms, and 15 minute walk to Royal Oak - all serving good quality food. Looking forward to returning to Weavers Lodge next year.
