Aspen Lodge, Birch

Sliding glass doors open from the high street onto a smart lounge area with open fire, giant cinema screen for kids evenings and big SKY sporting events, Nintendo Wii, pool table, complimentary internet screens, draft beer and coffee bar. There is also a reception desk for advice, information and concierge service and elevator access to the private accommodation suites above.

The Lodge comprises 12 chalet-style suites sleeping 6, 8 or 10 in great comfort. Each suite is entirely independent, with its own living and dining areas and its own dedicated chalet host. The suites have either three (Sequoia, Sycamore, Cedar, Oak, Laurel & Larch), four (Redwood, Maple, Hawthorne, Juniper & Mulberry) or five (Birch) en suite bedrooms, and are designed and equipped to the very highest standards with widescreen, surround-sound DVD televisions and south-facing balconies. The suites are very generously sized, and are furnished with tastefully understated style, from the invitingly large sofas to the funky designer bathrooms. In addition, the top floor suites (Juniper, Mulberry and Birch) all have open fires.
