Dovestone Secluded Luxury Lodges (sleeps 6)

For groups seeking space and seclusion at the gateway to the Peak District, this larger Dovestone lodge offers the same moorland setting as its sibling, with added room for six guests and a warm welcome for well-behaved dogs. Set within the Dovestone Holiday Park near Greenfield, this single-storey retreat benefits from a more secluded position within the collection. The result is a greater sense of privacy whilst retaining easy access to the reservoir and walking trails that make this area so popular. Inside, the open-plan living area provides generous space for the group to gather. The sitting area features comfortable seating arranged around a Smart TV, whilst a Bluetooth speaker lets you set the soundtrack to your stay. The kitchen is fully equipped for holiday cooking, with an electric oven, gas hob, microwave and dishwasher handling everything from quick breakfasts to celebratory dinners. A dining table seats six comfortably. Sleeping arrangements centre on two bedrooms. A double with an en-suite shower room offers privacy for one couple, whilst a twin bedroom shares the main bathroom with its relaxing bath. A sofa bed in the living area provides flexibility for larger groups or families with children, bringing the total capacity to six. Two dogs are welcome here, making this an excellent choice for families who refuse to leave four-legged members behind. The surrounding moorland provides endless opportunities for proper walks, whilst the reservoir circuit offers a gentler option on recovery days. The enclosed double veranda creates a natural transition between indoor and outdoor living. A charcoal barbecue awaits alfresco cooks, whilst the hot tub provides evening relaxation as the Saddleworth sky turns from blue to gold to star-scattered black. There is something rather special about soaking in warm, bubbling water whilst the dogs settle on the deck beside you. Day trips offer variety in every direction. The Trinnacle hike rewards effort with panoramic moorland views. Greenfield's pubs, including The Royal George, provide traditional hospitality after long walks. Manchester's museums, galleries and restaurants lie just 30 minutes away for days when you want urban stimulation. Back at the lodge, the combination of space, seclusion and hot tub creates the conditions for genuine relaxation. When the group gathers on the veranda as evening falls, the city feels a world away.
