Combining timeless natural beauty with strength and durability

What Is an Oak Framed Lodge?

A lodge is a medium-sized detached home or retreat space, typically designed for seasonal or year-round comfort. Common uses include:

  • Holiday accommodation or short-term rental
  • Private countryside or woodland escapes
  • Farm diversification or estate developments
  • Larger guesthouses or semi-independent living spaces

Our lodges can be:

  • Single storey or 1.5 storey with loft bedrooms
  • Traditional in appearance or more contemporary
  • Fully insulated and finished to residential specification

Planning Advice & Frequently Asked Questions about Oak Framed Lodges

Do oak lodges need planning permission?

Usually yes, though they may qualify for simplified permission depending on use. We can advise on the best route.

Are lodges suitable for year-round use?

Absolutely. Our lodges are designed with full insulation, modern heating, and double/triple glazing.

What’s the difference between a lodge and a cabin?

Lodges are typically larger and more residential in character, while cabins are smaller, simpler, and often more rustic.

Can you help with multiple lodge developments?

Yes. We work on private projects and commercial holiday developments across the UK.

Can I include luxury features in my lodge?

Yes — from spa-style bathrooms to smart home tech, your lodge can be as refined or relaxed as you like.
