About The Retreat™
The Retreat was the brainchild of London-based Architects Buckley Gray Yeoman. Our luxury, hand-built, lodges are manufactured on a 6-acre site situated on the edge of the Lake District in Cumbria. We are the bespoke, design and manufacturing company, Retreat Homes & Lodges Limited.
At Retreat we have been producing lodges for many years and were chosen by the Architects for our traditional construction methods. Our approach to the excellent build quality of our hand-crafted homes sits well with the architectural intricacies of the designs.
Since the launch of Retreat Homes & Lodges, the market has seen a dramatic influx of similar lodges with modern styling. However, none feature the same complex architectural elements, which distinguishes Retreat from its competitors. Gone are the plastic finishes and thin walls. Our Retreat lodges are built with the environment in mind and offer sustainable and ecological living.
Contemporary, intelligent and rigidly constructed, Retreat lodges are extensively built with timber from sustainable forests. There are no faux finishes. Where there is wood, there is solid timber. Where there are windows, there is floor-to-ceiling glass.
Finally, you can rest assured that a ten year warranty can be taken out with your luxury retreat through the Goldshield extended warranty scheme.
