Outdoor dining & firepit

Larch is for those who want to sink deeply into nature. The cabin sits at the very top of the lake — so close you can watch swans drift past while you make morning coffee, and hear the gentle movement of water as the day begins.

Facing south, Larch catches beautiful soft morning light and opens up to a clear, uninterrupted view of the Malvern Hills. From the bedroom window, you’ll look directly onto the vineyard — rows of Solaris, Pinot Noir and Siegerrebe vines stretching towards the horizon.

Inside, the rustic, natural palette creates a sense of calm and warmth. Outside, your wraparound deck and outdoor bath invite slow, sensory rituals — warm water against cool air, birdsong echoing across the lake, a glass of wine as the hills shift through shades of gold and apricot.

Evenings here feel incredibly grounding: firepit glowing, reflections dancing across the water, and a stillness you rarely find anywhere else.
