THE DRAGONWOOD BOATHOUSE ACCOMMODATION

A magnificent Victorian property tucked away in the heart of our breathtaking 100 acre private country estate, the charming Boat House provides a luxurious self-catering retreat for couples.  

The Dragonwood Boathouse accommodation makes a wonderful addition to our wedding venue, providing space for happy couples, wedding guests, or members of the bridal party to relax and unwind once the celebrations are over. 

And, if you’ve spent your special day with us, why not stay to celebrate your first anniversary and reminisce over the past year with the one you love?

Vibrant and exclusive, the boathouse is the perfect base for a romantic night, weekend, or extended getaway. 

Located between Lakes and Woodland, the Boat House is a luxurious hideaway providing romantic and secluded accommodation for your wedding day, honeymoon, or first anniversary. 

A traditional boat house with an unexpected, vivid Italian twist, the property was imagined and brought to life by talented local craftsmen and Harlequin interior designers. The results are truly exceptional. 

Inside the accommodation, you’ll find an eclectic fusion of classic and contemporary interiors, with vibrant violet, orange, and green jewel tones creating a flamboyant colour palette. Alongside all the practical features and amenities you’d expect to find in a luxury anniversary or wedding accommodation, the property also offers unexpected finishing touches that will ensure your stay is nothing short of unforgettable. 

This wonderful property is perfectly proportioned to comfortably sleep up to two guests, providing a magical retreat for couples as well as solo travellers. 

Although the Boat House is small in size, it is equipped with an array of exquisite amenities to ensure you have a truly incredible stay. 

From a luxury welcome hamper bursting with local produce and treats to a picturesque lakeside jetty, a fire pit and charcoal barbecue, a TV, and so much more, you’ll find everything you need for your short stay in this wonderful property. During the winter months or cooler evenings, underfloor heating and a giant log fire will keep you warm and cosy. There’s even a helipad if you’re planning to arrive in style! 

The handsome master suite boasts a handcrafted Italian suede super king-sized bed dressed in the finest French linens for a luxurious night’s sleep and a comfortable lie-in. 

The master suite also benefits from an ensuite bathroom with a spacious rain shower.

In the well-equipped, modern kitchen, you’ll find an electric cooker, hob, microwave, Nespresso coffee machine, dishwasher, and fridge freezer. 

Having hosted countless weddings over the years, we know that a wedding or anniversary is a uniquely special time, and we’re committed to ensuring that the accommodation is equally as special. 

Wander through the extensive gardens and woodland pathways surrounding the quaint property, enjoy a champagne picnic by the lake, or simply soak up a moment of tranquillity away from the excitement of the wedding celebrations. 

The house boasts views over the glistening lake, and over the surrounding countryside. The perfect spot to take a quiet moment of calm amongst the celebrations and soak up the beautiful backdrop. 

Secluded and private, the Boat House allows you to enjoy your own peaceful world for the duration of your stay. 

Pass through the impressive gates of the estate and follow the private drive leading through the beautiful grounds to the fabulous Boat House. The property is tucked away in its own part of the estate, ensuring your stay is quiet, tranquil, and uninterrupted. 

The picturesque lakeside jetty offers a tranquil spot to soak up the sunshine and breathe in the wonderfully fresh air, while the nearby Rutland Water is one of the largest man-made lakes in Europe, home to a cacophony of birds and wildlife. If you’re feeling adventurous, you can even take to the water in one of the property’s kayaks.
