The Reeds at South Lodge, Sussex: luxury lakeside lodges with wild swimming and a spa

The six lakeside lodges are geared towards families, with a large naturally-lit living area, two bedrooms and a private terrace with a dining area, sun-loungers and an outdoor bath (decks are carefully designed with privacy in mind, so you can enjoy candlelit suppers without being overlooked). The main living area is open-plan and double-height, with remote-controlled curtains unveiling one of the best lake views of any hotel in Britain.

Spa-lovers and honeymooners should choose one of the spa lodges, which are designed specifically for couples, with a downstairs lounge, upstairs bedroom and private steam shower, outdoor whirlpool bath and infrared halotherapy sauna.
