Bed and breakfast accommodation in Princes Risborough
A peaceful oasis in the Chilterns Protected Landscape
A place to relax and unwind.
Situated a mile south of the market town of Princes Risborough in the Chilterns Protected Landscape, but less than a mile from the Chiltern Railway, Ridgeway Lodge is surrounded by farmland, with far-reaching views to the north, south, west and east. The ancient Ridgeway long-distance path-reputed to be one of the oldest roads in the UK- skirts the house - a welcome sight at the end of a day's hike!
Miv and John, who own Ridgeway Lodge aim to look after guests as they would like to be looked after - and happily most seem to agree!
"We have tried to provide visitors with everything needed to make their stay, whether it be for one night or several, as comfortable and relaxing as possible."
Ridgeway Lodge is a peaceful spot in the secret Chilterns, a place to relax and unwind. Spend a few days, enjoy the views, walk and chill out before heading back to the hustle and bustle of 'normal life'! Yet this is also an ideal spot from which to travel to Oxford, London, Bicester - all well within an hour from Princes Risborough station. Providing comfortable ensuite rooms and a place to chat with friends and family, in a relaxed 'home from home' environment. Watch the seasons unfold with the views across the fields down the valley from the lounge - brown corduroy stripes in late autumn, white winter, through the first haze of green in Spring, deep green turning to gold in summer and the harvest which changes the colours again when dozens of Red Kites follow the combine!!
Besides people, some of our other visitors include muntjac, roe and fallow deer, foxes, rabbits, squirrels and wild ducks all wandering through the garden to visit the stream and pond. Red kites, owls, swallows and bats, too, all visit at various times of the year.
ACCOMMODATION
Accommodation for human visitors is provided by three bedrooms, two on the ground floor and another large ensuite room on the first floor. Mattresses made by Hypnos in Princes Risborough. Snug Pure New Wool duvets are used and 100% cotton bedlinen. Almost without exception people say they enjoy one of their best night's sleep!
The 'Studio' upstairs, is large enough for an extra (inflatable) bed and/or a travel cot, both of which are available. All rooms have their own tv, and the studio has a hospitality tray with fresh milk and chilled filtered water.
The ground floor rooms, which afford easy level access for those less mobile, offer versatile options. One room, is ensuite, but if two rooms are needed then both rooms share the shower room via a door in the hallway,-this allows parents with children the privacy of their own ensuite but the convenience of bathroom access for the occupants of the other room.
The annex rooms are adjacent to the lounge/dining room, and small kitchen. This is well stocked with regular, fruit and decaf teas, coffees, chilled filtered water and all the cutlery, china and glassware needed, together with an oven, grill, microwave and fridge. The only thing missing is a dishwasher - sadly no space for that!
Guests in the ground floor rooms can make their morning cuppa in the kitchen adjacent to the bedrooms.
Shower rooms are supplied with fluffy towels, slippers and lovely drenching showers. The ground floor has step free access, and a fitted shower seat for safety. There is underfloor heating here too.
The lounge/diner has french doors to the garden, smart tv, DVD recorder and player, jigsaws and boxed games to play. Comfily supplied with sofas and chair, dining table to seat 8 and a breakfast bar too.
BREAKFAST
Breakfast is taken in the dining area, and a full English breakfast is offered, using British bacon and sausages and eggs from a neighbour's hens. Other options include vegetarian, croissants and fruit. Marmalade, lemonade curd and jams are home made and the bees in the garden give us their honey. When available, locally pressed apple juice from our own apple trees is served, or fresh orange juice.
Visitors are welcomed with tea, coffee and home made cake, shown around then left to settle in. A bell is provided in case of queries, as we are on the premises, but quite separate to the guest accommodation. Guests have a key and come and go as they wish. Parking is provided, and we also have storage for bicycles.
