Hoseasons launches new ‘back to nature’ product
Domestic operator Hoseasons has launched a range of woodland-based lodge breaks in six UK locations.
Wanderwood, aimed at families and couples, is available to book now for the start of next year with prices starting at £205 for a three-night break for a family of four.
The operator has taken 100 units across lodges in Norfolk, Surrey, Somerset, Shropshire, the Lake District and the Northern Highlands.
Sales director Sally Henry said it was expected to double in size in the first year, based on past experience with other specialist products.
Wanderwood is Hoseasons’ seventh new specialist product range in as many years.
Every location has accessible trails, walks and acres of open space, said Hoseasons managing director Simon Altham.
"Wanderwood really is a breath of fresh air for those looking to get out and about and take inspiration from the Great British countryside. The locations we have chosen all offer the kind of ‘back to nature’ experiences we know our customers crave, without having to compromise on the quality and comfort of their accommodation."
All lodges are pet-friendly and include complimentary binoculars, umbrellas and in-lodge literature providing details of things to do onsite, or nearby – including bird-watching, bug hunting and star-gazing.
WiFi is also included and hot tubs feature at all locations.
"Natural escapes that allow people to forget all about the stresses and strains of everyday life and spend time with those who matter most are exactly the type of short breaks our customers are telling us they want. That’s why we’ve put the work into developing Wanderwood and why we hope it will be a popular addition to the Hoseasons product portfolio," he added.
Wanderwood features in the Hoseasons Lodge Holidays 2016 collection.
