The Fisherman’s Lodge on the banks of the River Test offers charming accommodation in the idyllic garden of historic Wherwell Mill. The converted barn is divided into two stunning studio spaces - Heron and Egret Lodges. Inspired by the tranquillity of the river and the beauty of the surrounding valley, the light spacious rooms, oak floors and muted colours all create an atmosphere of relaxation. Wherwell is ideally located for world-class fishing and exploring the glorious Test Valley. The lodges were originally a carpenter's barn on the Priory Estate. Now in the garden of the 18th century water mill, the barn has been converted into a modern and beautiful space, while still keeping the original features of the unique building. Heron Lodge is literally on the banks of the renowned Test river, with spectacular views of the water meadows. Wake up in the morning and admire the incredible variety of river birds from your window - kingfishers, swans, herons, egrets, wagtails to name a few. Wherwell Church is just a stone's throw away on the other side of the river and the gentle chiming of the bells is a wonderful, soothing sound to listen out for. Heron and Egret self-catering lodges can be booked separately or together and are suitable for up to 2 guests each. They are adjacent but not adjoining so there isn't a connecting door and they have separate entrances. The studio rooms can be made up as 2 single beds or a super king-size double. Each lodge has a well equipped kitchenette with an induction hob, combi-oven and fridge. The bathroom has a bath and a good, strong shower. There is excellent wifi and a TV in the living area. Access to Heron Lodge is via four steps.
This was our second time visiting Tessa and Simon’s place - we were keen to return as our first trip away with our baby after we’d had a great stay previously and we were very pleased we did. The lodge was exactly as we remembered, incredibly comfortable (my partner says the bed is more comfortable than ours at home!), very clean and with helpful amenities. Tessa and Simon were also both incredibly kind and helpful when we had car issues on our way there, they really went above what would be expected for hosts, and we are extremely grateful, thank-you!
We love fisherman’s lodge , the location is simple beautiful, very peaceful and relaxing . This was our third trip, usually we stay in egret lodge , but this time we had the pleasure of staying in heron lodge . Both are beautifully appointed , spotlessly clean and have bags of character too ! I can’t fault any of our trips to fisherman’s lodge! Fantastic location , wonderful accommodation and lovely thoughtful hosts ! Love it
Beautiful place to stay and Tessa was great from start to finish. Will definitely be back!
We had the perfect airbnb experience at Heron lodge. We were met by Tessa’s husband who gave us the warmest of welcomes. Heron lodge was perfect!!! Beautiful, quite location on the river Test. We particularly enjoyed siting on the bench by the riverside whilst watching the swans feeding and the kingfishers swooping to catch fish. Tessa has thought of everything in terms of equipment and the choice of furniture and soft furnishings are clearly those of someone with an eye for detail. Thank you Tessa, Emily and I will definitely be back again.
