Upfront Eco Lodge, Upfront Gallery, Nr Hutton-in-the-Forest, Unthank

Set in the grounds of the Upfront Gallery with its Vegetarian Restaurant and coffee shop which is open during the day, very useful for lazy days when cooking is not on the agenda. In a charming rural location on the fringes of the Lake District this Eco Lodge is unique, extremely well equipped and furnished to a high standard. The "Eco" Lodge has been designed to have a minimum impact on the environment. It is constructed entirely from timber and stand in timber posts planted into the ground. Most of the timber used is larch felled locally. The walls, floor and roof are made from two layers with a cavity filled with sheep's wool insulation. This very thick layer provides double the insulation required for standard house construction. The Lodge is very warm in winter and cool in the summer, using minimum energy to heat it. The roof is clad wirh cedar shingles and rainwater is collected to be re-cycled to flush the toilets. A large clerestory window along the roof ridge allows natural day light to flood into the living room and kitchen dining area for most of the day. To the rear the lodge has a totally private fenced and hedged garden area with a large deck which looks over uniterrupted views of the surrounding countryside.
