Garden Lounges & Retreats

Somewhere to slow down. A garden lounge gives you a peaceful place to read, listen to music, enjoy a coffee or simply watch the garden change through the year.

Why it works

The benefits of a garden lounges & retreats

  • A calm escape

    A quiet room away from screens, chores and the busier parts of the house.

  • Closer to the garden

    Glazed doors and windows frame the view, whatever the weather.

  • Space for guests to relax

    Somewhere comfortable to sit with friends on a summer evening.

  • Make it your own

    Choose the flooring, interior colour and outdoor finishing touches.

Practical considerations

Things to think about

A few points we'll talk through with you. Every garden is different, so the details of your project are agreed in your quotation.

  • Views and position

    Think about what you'd like to look at, and where the sun will be when you'll use the room most.

  • Comfort

    Platinum includes the insulation package. Climate control is an optional upgrade.

  • Flooring

    Laminate flooring is an optional upgrade with a warm, homely finish.

  • Outdoor space

    Optional decking creates a place to sit outside the doors.

Your questions

Frequently asked

Which building has the best views?

Designs with French doors, bi-fold doors or plenty of glazing, such as the Clarendon, Sandringham and Windsor, open up the view. Position matters too, and we can talk it through.

Can I add decking?

Yes, decking is an optional upgrade, quoted separately.

Can I use the lounge as a guest bedroom?

We don't offer garden rooms as sleeping accommodation. Our garden rooms are for uses such as relaxing, working, hobbies and fitness.
