Outdoor dining & firepit

Gooseberry has a warm, inviting energy the moment you step inside. It catches the softest afternoon light, filling the space with golden tones as the sun moves across the vines.

From your wraparound deck, you’ll watch the Malvern Hills shift through calm morning blues into rich, warm evenings. The cabin sits between Hedgehog and Larch, giving you a balance of openness and privacy — close enough to the lake to feel its stillness, with a clear view across the vines.

Inside, the log burner creates a calm, romantic atmosphere, while the kitchen has everything you need for slow, simple cooking. Outside, your private hot tub is tucked into the deck — a quiet spot to unwind after a cold lake dip, woodland walk or cosy night in.

Gooseberry is designed for deep unwinding: a place where life feels quieter, the air feels cleaner, and time finally slows down.
