About

More Than a Stay

Saxon Lodge carries the charm of old-school hospitality—a place where warmth, space, and a sense of belonging come together. Whether you're traveling solo, as a couple, or in a group, we offer both sea view suites and standard room options to suit most budgets. Breakfast is generous and vegetarian-friendly, and dinners can be arranged with love and care.

For those seeking a private retreat, the entire lodge is available for exclusive bookings, sleeping up to 22 guests—ideal for conferences, multi-generational family gatherings, and special interest groups. Catering options are available, or you can enjoy the freedom of self-catering in our well-equipped kitchen.

And if you’re an animal lover, you’ll find our resident cat, Ninja, and our friendly dog, Lulu, adding to the homely feel.

At Saxon Lodge, you’re not just a guest—you become  part of the rhythm of this place, free to explore, rest, and connect in your own way.

We look forward to welcoming you.
