“Kingswood Trust was the perfect staycation destination for me and family. The Orb Lodge manages to be both spacious and cosy at the same time, with enough space to leave craft activities out, and still have plenty of space for meals. It was the hub of activity during our holiday – the wood burner was especially welcome on colder days. The grounds are simply beautiful, with the firepit(s) and zip wire particular favourites with my children. With older teenagers, we all had plenty space to enjoy time alone exploring the various woodland paths – as well as quality time together.”
