Description from owner
Description
Dragonfly log cabin, part of Willowbank Lodges, nestles in a small hamlet in the heart of the Pewsey Vale bordering the Kennet and Avon canal. The five luxury log cabins have been solidly built from Russian redwood and are situated in three and a half acres including a private lake and are surrounded by beautiful countryside and a wide variety of wildlife. Dragonfly cabin overlooks the stream and is the end cabin thus the most private and has the benefit of a large grassy area around it, ideal for dogs and children.
Guests who are looking for a tranquil holiday surrounded by nature will find Willowbank Lodges ideal. Bird lovers will enjoy watching the various families of waterfowl on the lake, including our indigenous pair of swans, herons and our kingfisher who flies up and down both the lake and the stream and can be seen sitting on the railings near the end cabin, Kingfisher, so named.
Ramblers and cyclists alike will enjoy the miles of walks straight from the cabin gates with panoramic views of the Pewsey Vale from Martinsell Hill and of course we are on the National 4 cycle trail. Our ancient Savernake Forest is only a 5 minute drive away and is quite stunningly beautiful whether you are walking, picnicking or cycling.
The cabins provide a superb holiday base from which to explore the ancient county of Wiltshire and are easily accessed from the M3 and M4. Furthermore, the airports of London Heathrow, Bristol, Southampton and Bournemouth are between one and one and a half hours drive away. The local village of Pewsey is less than two miles away and boasts a good supermarket, butcher, baker, petrol station, garage, Indian restaurant, cafes and pubs and it also has a railway station with a fast train service to London and the West Country.
No smoking is allowed in the cabins but can be enjoyed outside under the cover of the veranda.
Well behaved dogs welcome and verandas now have gates therefore secure for dogs and young children.

“Beautiful setting and wonderful lodge”
We loved the lodge and the site. It was so peaceful and such a lovely place to stay. We have never been to Wiltshire before and will definitely return and stay again at Willowbank Lodges. 5 out of 5 stars for location and quality of accommodation. Everything we needed was provided and there were very clear explanations and directions given for use of heating, water etc. Cleanliness was of a very high standard.

“Fabulous holiday lodge”
This is the second time we've stayed in Dragonfly and we love it. The lodge is always clean and cosy and well furnished and is equipped with everything you could need. The beds are really comfy, (important for me). Sitting on the veranda in the sun is heaven. It's in a lovely position with the stream at the front and the lake with resident swans and geese on site. Nicky is always really friendly and helpful. It's positioned just outside of Pewsey , which has a co-op and really good Indian restaurant. The canal tow path is a 2 minute walk from the lodge. If you carry on walking up the road over the canal you can go straight up Martinsell Hill which has great views of Pewsey Vale. We love it here and hope to be able to return really soon.

Response from the owner Hello Samena, Thank you for your lovely review and it was a pleasure having you and your family to stay - I only regret I was away when you came here as it would have been nice to meet you after so many telephone conversations! I am glad you had such an enjoyable stay, despite the bad weather I heard you were having, I do try to make my guests as comfortable as possible and it is great to hear that it felt so homely.

“Perfect Christmas”
Very spacious and comfortable accommodation. Well equipped kitchen and good sized bedrooms and bathrooms. We spent the Christmas period in 3 of the chalets (3 families) next to each other - each chalet had a decorated Christmas tree! Warm and cosy, despite cold, snowy weather. Would recommend.
