Orwell Lodge Reviews

Emma
The kitchen was super well stocked, beds and couches comfyand we loved the hot tub, camping cotand high chair-really nice touches!
James
We really enjoyed our stay here! The place had all we needed for a relaxing holiday, including a coffee machine which was a lovely bonus. It’s peaceful and perfectly situated for exploring Suffolk. Definitely a spot we’d return to if we get the chance!
Emily Carter
This lodge's cosy vibe and perfect spot made our stay really special. Hot tub was lovely!
Emma
We really enjoyed our stay at this lovely lodge. It was spotless and had everything we needed, including a fantastic hot tub and a cosy wood burner-perfect for January! The only hiccup was that we couldn’t let our dog off the lead anywhere, which was a bit of a pain. The site is fenced, but it’s quite largeand with cars around and gates often open, it wasn’t ideal for letting our pup roam freely. Would stay again though!
Alex Carter
Great stay, highly recommend it!
Sam
Can’t wait to return, genuinely enjoyed the whole experience here!
Emma
Really enjoyed the lodge, spacious and well thought out. Lots of activities close by, definitely relaxing!
Alex
We stayed here for a week and really enjoyed it. The location is perfect, just a short walk to Flatford Mill, great for dog walks. As wheelchair users, we found the access superb-flat surfaces and no steps, though there’s a big lip at the laundry room which we couldn’t get over. It did get quite cold at night and mornings, especially when showering, because the thermostats are locked at 20.5 degrees, even when snowing outside. On the bright side, the beds are incredibly comfy-definitely a cosy spot to unwind!
Emma
We had a fantastic time! The lodge was spotless, beautifully decoratedand well-equipped with top-notch appliances. The peaceful setting made it perfect.
Emma
We really enjoyed our stay at this lovely, modern cottage. It’s super clean and well-equipped, with little touches like coffee and biscuits waiting for us. The surroundings are stunning-so peaceful, we could see loads of stars and hear owls at night. The vibe upon arrival was warm and welcoming, which was great. Perfect for day trips to London or Cambridgeand a cosy base to unwind. We definitely hope to return someday!
