We were given a map and took a short walk from reception to our Lodge Initial, guided by clear signposts. Along the way, we passed many beautiful spots and noted that many of the lodges faced out onto a peaceful lake or pond area. This provided a very different and serene atmosphere compared to the theme park, which was just a few minutes’ walk away.

Upon stepping inside, we saw the two single beds immediately to our left, with the bathroom in the middle. At the far end was the double bed area, which led out to a small balcony. The lodge also included a table and chairs, along with a fan, which was a welcome addition during the warm climate of our visit. The entire space looked very clean, new, and modern, yet still managed to feel cozy—perfect for a nature-based retreat. It was great to see this kind of lodging offered as an alternative to a traditional hotel, providing a calm and peaceful atmosphere just minutes from the theme park and waterpark.

Our overnight stay was very comfortable, and we had no issues with heat or noise, which made for a fantastic, restful night’s sleep. When we woke up in the morning, we saw that our breakfast had been delivered on time. It arrived in a wicker basket and was packaged using paper, cardboard, and glass bottles, perfectly aligning with the hotel’s eco-friendly ethos. Our breakfast included ham and cheese sandwiches, hot chocolate, fruit juice, fruit, and more. It was a lovely way to enjoy a quiet morning in the lodge before heading off for our second day at Futuroscope.
