Steal away to this elegant lodge sitting in a secluded complex of glamping properties in the grounds of a Georgian country house estate in the Fenland countryside - where big skies and long horizons encourage slowing down and taking it easy. Sleeping two people in one bedroom, it's perfect for couples who are searching for an indulgent adults-only retreat to call home while they explore the waterways, wetlands and cathedral cities of the Fens together. Spend a wonderful morning at the Welney Wetland Centre (5 miles), where hides look out over the washes and thousands of whooper and Bewick's swans arrive from Iceland and Siberia each winter. Or head into Ely (15 miles) to walk along the riverside and stand beneath the octagon tower of the cathedral. In the evening, come home to sink into your private hot tub as the sun sinks over the Fens.
Pull into your private parking spot and step inside your stylish country lodge to find a light and bright open-plan living space with large patio doors that make the most of the country views. Take a moment to check out your welcome pack of local produce, and then cook up a storm in the sleek kitchen area. Share a romantic meal for two in the dining area, or step out onto the large deck – which faces south and west to catch the sun all day long – and dine alfresco. Afterwards, take a dip in the private hot tub and wait for the stars to come out, or head to the lounge area to snuggle up in front of the Smart TV. At the end of the day, a super-king-size bed with an in-bedroom roll-top bath, as well as an en-suite bathroom with a walk-shower, complete the layout.
Head to the Welney Wetland Centre (5 miles) to witness the floodlit winter swan feeds - one of the great wildlife spectacles of the east of England. Or set off to hike along the flat, free hide trail along the RSPB Ouse Washes (12 miles), and you may spot lapwing, snipe and wintering wildfowl. Further afield, the moated Tudor manor at Oxburgh Hall (18 miles) sits in woodlands and gardens made for an afternoon's wandering, and the boardwalks at Wicken Fen (29 miles) criss-cross across Britain's oldest nature reserve.
