We have stayed in Woodpecker Lodge many times in recent years when visiting Suffolk. It ticks all the boxes for us including an excellent location near Ipswich but very rural. It represents excellent value for money for any couple looking for a compact lodge suited to a few nights stay in Suffolk. Coddenham has a lovely community shop/PO but sadly no pub now as the Dukes Head is now closed.All facilities are clean and as described by Vrbo.

Sunny Suffolk

What a fabulous few days we had in Suffolk. We were out and about during the day and it was a delight to travel back to the comfort of Woodpecker Lodge. The accommodation is spacious and is well equipped. The quiet outdoor area is a perfect place to sit in the sunshine.A short walk to the Community Shop is a must.Thank you for having us!

Lovely Quiet Location

Enjoyed our stay at Woodpecker Lodge in Coddenham as always. Very homely and peaceful and were blessed with gorgeous weather Noticed the lodge was not as clean as usual, only little things like many spiders and cobwebs/dust in bathroom. Nothing to put us off and we will return for our 5th visit

Walks & Location

Good location for public footpath/field walks near accommodation. Lovely local village shop with coffee shop, and essential food/local produce. Travelled by short car distance to Needham Lake; walked around, and into Needham Market high street; few shops /eateries. Worth a visit. We were blessed with good weather and at night had the pleasure to enjoy a quiet drink on accommodation patio looking down on village.

Hidden gem in the Suffolk countryside

We absolutely fell in Love with this property and area. It was to the perfect location for us to visit family in that area. And we loved our little holiday home base. It had everything we needed for our 25 day stay. We are so excited to have discovered this great lodge. And Graham was a great host. Was there if we needed him but also left us to our vacation too. We pinched ourselves every day to be staying in this great little lodge. Clenears came every week and it was emaculate. Honestly we will be back year after year and can't wait to be there again.The village was beautiful too. And we loved visiting the community run shop and cafe. And walking around the village.

Peaceful location

Superbly situated for peace with lovely views, yet close to pretty and friendly village. Lodge is comfortable, clean and cosy. A tray would have been useful. An emergency contact number for owner also would be useful. So much to see in Suffolk, never disappoints and I love Portman Road

Wonderful cabin in the Suffolk countryside

I was in the UK on a working trip delivering three weeks of training. My original plans for accommodations with family and friends (I’m an expat Brit) were thrown into disarray by various sicknesses and this cabin was the perfect respite for my middle week. It was quiet, clean with excellent WiFi bandwidth and served as the perfect pied à terre so I could continue training. The village was picturesque and I enjoyed chatting with the staff in the local grocery store. Would recommend this strongly.
