Lake view lodges - as built

The Mole Resort

This project involved a handsome country house hotel, which our client purchased in 2012 with a view to refurbishing it and improving / extending the range and quality of the facilities.

We worked on a number of projects as part of the sitewide re-development. That included a new 400 seat wedding and conference venue, the conversion of a tired function space into a new Tea Room, upgrading of the swimming pool / leisure building to a Spa, refurbishment of the existing holiday cottages, staff accommodation and an estate store.

We also obtained planning approval in 2018 for 58 holiday lodges and a 14 bedroom extension to the main hotel building, despite considerable local opposition

The additional development was spread out across the 125 acre estate, utilising part of the former golf course, (which has been retained but reduced from 18 to 9 holes), making better use of the site.

The estate was sold to L&R in 2022 who have built out the lodges we designed and implemented our masterplan to good effect.

Guest numbers are significantly up and the enhanced on-site facilities have, secured the long term future of this splendid hotel and estate.
