Sponsor a Room in the Eco Lodge
April 30th 2021
We are in the final stages of our eco retrofit of the South Downs Eco Lodge and we are inviting you, our wonderful supporters, to help dress and equip the new rooms, with many levels of sponsorship to match any budget. When finished the new wing will provide a further eleven new B & B rooms. All will be en suite with double rooms, twin rooms, triple and a family room.
Each room is themed with a native tree from our woodland. Using sustainability principals we are choosing or making art and furnishings from natural, sustainable or recycled resources, which makes each room unique.
Your sponsorship will be used for a range of projects and purchases. You can express a preference for a room to contribute to or sponsor. If you donate £2000 then you will become the sole sponsor of a room of your choice. No matter how large or small we would love to hear from individuals, businesses or organisations.
Wetherdown Lodge in the heart of the South Downs National Park, a Green Tourism Gold Award winning eco-renovation
August 16th 2019
Whether as a stop-over for those walking the South Downs Way or a venue for families and friends reunions, the Lodge offers simple but comfortable accommodation.
Wetherdown Lodge, once the home of Royal Navy trainees, has been completely renovated and is now model in how to use less energy and cut carbon emissions. The heating and hot water is provided by a biomass boiler, which uses locally sourced wood, whilst the warmth is retained by wool fleece insulation. It has triple glazed windows, solar roof tiles and natural maromoleum flooring.
Wetherdown Lodge is part of the Sustainability Centre which provides courses and events about environmental awareness and low impact living.
Exciting new developments at Wetherdown Lodge this year
February 11th 2019
Work is about to start on the renovation of Wetherdown 2. This will create an extra 16 rooms, some of which will be en suite. This wonderful addition is indeed exciting news.
The hard work and team effort throughout this coming year will mean there is a wider range of accommodation to meet the growing demand. In the meantime the existing accommodation of 38 beds across 14 rooms together with the tipis and yurts will not be disrupted.
