Beautiful area

Guests love this home’s scenic location.
Welcome to our charming little tower, the perfect escape for those seeking tranquillity. Nestled amidst nature, this petite retreat features a cozy bedroom with stunning views of Mount Longonot and the morning sunrise, a quaint kitchenette, and a delightful veranda with a log burner and dining table—ideal for enjoying intimate meals or relaxing with a good book. Note, the Folly isn’t suitable for children.

The space
Step up to the roof terrace for panoramic views of the surrounding grounds, abundance of wildlife and the majestic mountain. Enjoy lakeside access, perfect for a morning stroll or an afternoon watching the wildlife graze peacefully by the water.

Whether you're looking to unwind by the fire, savour the scenic beauty, or simply soak in the peaceful atmosphere, our tower offers a unique and serene experience you'll cherish.

Our lakeside sanctuary is an ideal setting for special celebrations and rejuvenating experiences. Whether you're planning a birthday or an anniversary, the serene environment and stunning views create a perfect backdrop for you. The natural beauty and tranquil ambiance make for a truly unforgettable experience.

There are staff around to help with cleaning but the house is fully self catering.

Guest access
You’ll have full access to the lake and the stunning gardens that surround the house. Feel free to explore the grounds, enjoy picnics, and savour sundowners by the lakeside or from the cozy verandah

We do kindly request that you don't have any loud music and that you try to leave the place as you found it (our fab team will come in at the end of your stay to clean but we'd really appreciate it not being left in a mountain of mess, it is a family home after all).

Other things to note
* WIFI available (perfect location to work remotely)
* Fresh herbs available from the garden

We do have wildlife on the sanctuary so we do ask you to be careful at night and early evenings/mornings

We have two lovely dogs on the sanctuary, so allow no pets.
