Set on a working farm in the North Suffolk countryside, this comfortable lodge is a relaxing rural base with an on-site shop for everyday essentials. Peaceful days unfold on the gated veranda or in the private hot tub after countryside walks from the door. When you’re ready to explore, climb the ramparts at Framlingham Castle (8.5 miles), ride the steam trains at the Mid-Suffolk Light Railway (9.5 miles) or browse family attractions at Stonham Barns Shopping Village (11 miles). Easton Farm Park (12 miles) is a favourite for little ones, while RSPB Minsmere (21 miles) offers wildlife-rich trails. For coastal adventures, the Suffolk coast, including Southwold, Thorpeness and Aldeburgh, is within 25 miles for beach days and bracing sea air.
Inside, the inviting living area is arranged for relaxing downtime, with soft seating gathered around a coal-effect electric fire for cosy evenings, and a Smart TV with Blu-ray for movie nights. A dining table sits alongside for unhurried meals, while the practical kitchen is set up so you can prep, cook and serve with ease. An integrated ceiling radio adds a pleasant backdrop while you cook and chat. The sleeping layout suits families and friends alike: a king-size bedroom with en-suite shower room with WC offers a private retreat, and a twin bedroom sits close to the family bathroom. The main bathroom includes a shower over the bath, along with a WC, giving you options for quick freshen-ups or a long soak after a day out. Extra flexibility comes via a double pull-out sofa bed in the lounge.
Outside, slide open the door to a gated, decked veranda furnished with a table and chairs for easy outdoor dining. The private hot tub is sunken into the deck for step-in convenience, making evening dips effortless. BBQs are available to hire (subject to availability), so you can sizzle supper and linger outdoors as the day fades. Parking is provided right next to the lodge for straightforward loading and unloading.
