The Gainsborough by the Lake
From the moment you first step foot in the Gainsborough, you are greeted by its bold and contemporary design. This premium holiday lodge offers striking luxury bedrooms and an innovative kitchen.
The Franklin by the Lake
Inspired by Moroccan tones, The Franklin by the Lake lodge is awash with natural light, featuring bi-fold windows in the dining area and ample windows throughout for breathtaking views.
The Stag
A beautifully considered retreat at Rosetta Retreats, The Stag brings country-house warmth to a spectacular Scottish Borders setting. Vaulted ceilings and a fully glazed front elevation fill the open-plan lounge and dining space with natural light, while French doors invite you to make the most of the views. Soft, earthy colours, natural textures and Shaker-style cabinetry create an inviting balance of traditional character and contemporary comfort. The generous kitchen, complete with an island breakfast bar and integrated appliances, makes slow breakfasts and evenings with friends feel effortless. Across its spacious 40 x 20 ft layout, a king-size master bedroom with an en-suite shower room, a welcoming twin bedroom, a family bathroom and a separate utility room provide all the practical comforts of your own countryside escape.
When You Buy at Messingham, You Don't Just Buy a Lodge
You buy your own private outdoor space — a fully enclosed, beautifully landscaped garden that is entirely yours to enjoy, whatever the weather. Add an optional pergola and hot tub and you have the perfect all-season sanctuary, right outside your door.
Our gardens are completely enclosed and secure — safe for children to play freely and dogs to roam without a worry. They are genuinely unique in the UK holiday lodge market, and we have just completed six brand new ones. Two have already been reserved, with just four remaining.

What Our Guests Say
"We came for a weekend viewing and ended up buying a lodge that same day. The quality of the finish, the peaceful lakeside setting, and the warmth of the team made it an easy decision. It's our happy place now — every time we pull up the drive, the real world just melts away."
Sarah & James W.
Messingham Lakes
"Buying our lodge was one of the best decisions we ever made. My grandchildren light up every time we visit, and the memories we're creating here are priceless. The lodges are finished to an exceptional standard — you genuinely feel like you're stepping into a boutique hotel."
David M.
Messingham Lakes
"We love the beauty and things to do at Peebles, and with Rosetta being a short walk into the town, there is so much on your doorstep."
Guin W.
Rosetta Retreats
"The whole family came for a holiday and we didn't want to leave. The children loved the lakes, we loved the lodge — everything was immaculate, stylish, and so well thought-out. It's luxury without pretension, and that's exactly what we were looking for."
Helen P.
Messingham Lakes
"Rosetta is something truly special. The parkland setting, the wellness experiences, the way the lodges blend into the landscape — it all feels incredibly considered. We've owned holiday homes before, but nothing comes close to the experience here. Eden have raised the bar."
