Welcome to Catley Lodge Nestled on 12 acres of peaceful countryside, Catley Lodge is a charming lifestyle property where you'll be greeted by friendly dogs, cats, chickens, goats, sheep, cows, and horses. Our cozy accommodation is located within our home, offering two comfortable guest rooms that share access to a bathroom featuring both a shower and a bath. Whether you're here to unwind in our serene rural setting, explore the nearby beach, or experience the joy of feeding the animals, Catley Lodge is the perfect place to relax, reconnect, and leave feeling refreshed. Come as guests, leave as friends.

We’re Paul and Tina, and as recent empty nesters, we thought it was the perfect time to open our home and meet new people by hosting them at Catley Lodge. Tina has a passion for horses and often heads out riding through the nearby forestry, along the beach, or on local shared pathways. She also loves working outdoors and has recently started making homemade jam, which will be available for breakfast. Paul enjoys spending time on the land and has recently discovered a love for gardening, helping us grow some of the fresh produce we serve. Enjoy a delicious, locally sourced breakfast with eggs from our own hens, fruit from our trees, milk from the local dairy farm, and honey from nearby bees.
