Skylarks Reviews

Michael
Very happy with the lodge. Extremely well appointed and maintained.Felt very welcoming.Site was lovely and quiet.Hot tub excellent ,good positioning for visiting all attractions around the area.Highly recommended to those who want the above.
We will never be returning. We have been charged 85 for apparently leaving the hot tub in a bad state. Pictures were provided which do not show any damage at all they are just pictures of the filter which should clean the hot tub. There was also a 2 hour power cut which surprise surprise was failed to mention. Never returning and will be going to press and social media on this.
Lovely quiet place to stay for a relaxing break
Belinda
We really enjoyed our stay, the lodge is very tastefully docorated, comfortable and clean. We enjoyed the hot tub and early evening sun on the decking. The setting is very peaceful yet close enough to walk into Bury St Edmonds which is a really nice place. The check in and out was very easy and we appreciated the bottle of wine on arrival. We would cetainly recommend this lodge and would visit again.
Andrea
Such a well equipped and beautifully furnished lodge it was just what we needed for a weeks escape. Very comfortable and the hot tub was great! We didnt venture out that much as our plan was for rest and relaxation and the park did feel lovely and secluded. There isnt anything else on the park other than lodges which suited us for the week but plenty of places you can get to if you needwant to.
What a lovely lodge to relax in, has everything you needed for cooking . would benefit from having a few more plates knives & forks if not eating out all the time . Beds very comfortable. Hot tub was a treat . 10mins drive to Bury St Edmunds town centre.

Would 100 go back, enjoyed the place very much. Only downfall was the shower in my room was extremely hot and it seemed the temperature was not changing or working when I was turning it. Other than that I have no complaints I will be going back again and recommending to friends.

This is a museum with a difference and a must see if you are into horse racing.  You can take guided tours around the museum or choose to wander round yourself admiring the exhibits.  New for 2010 is a Junior Fun Tour which is ideal for children.  Simply ask the gallery staff for a Fun Tour pack when you enter the museum and kids can answer questions and spot clues and tips on the way round.  One of the most popular recent exhibitions is the Thoroughbred: State of the Art exhibition in Gallery 5 on until 31st October.  Check out their websites for the latest exhibitions.
Banham Zoo - NR16 2HE
about 17 Miles
This award winning wildlife attraction has much to offer both families and couples looking for a fun and educational day out.  You can discover a whole wild world of animals with over 1000 different animals from around the world. You will probably want to try and spend the whole day here so you don's miss out on anything.  Highlights include the amazing animals presentation, the birds of prey display and the feeding talks, all of which take place at set times of the day.  This attraction is fantastic value for money and highly recommended.  Their latest event is the Snow Leopard Club Naming Auction and there has recently been a baby giraffe born at the zoo.
Suffolk Owl Sanctuary - IP28 6HX
about 19 Miles
This amazing owl sanctuary located in the Stowmarket area of Suffolk should be high on your list of places to visit in the area.  The attraction is also a registered charity and carries out important work in the care & rehabilitation of owls from the region.  The sanctuary also raises awareness of owl conservation throughout the UK.  Between April and the end of September there are two superb flying displays each day so you should try and make your visit coincide with one of these displays if you can.
Melsop Farm Park - NR20 3DT
about 21 Miles
We love this attraction in Scoulton, Norfolk with a great collection of animals.  Children and adults alike have the chance to get hands on with the animals in the special handling areas.  On rainy days there is always the indoor play area for the little ones and when it's time for a bite to eat the cafe on the farm is open all day selling drinks and snacks.  Hot food is available over lunch times.
Colchester Zoo - CO3 0SL
about 29 Miles
Colchester Zoo is a fantastic place to visit with something for all the family.  Wander around and see the array of animals in excellent habitats.  Don't forget to visit the Leopards at Ussuri Falls, this new expansion can be located opposte the White Tiger Valley and the Medellin Momkeys.  Other popular areas of the zoo include Tiger Taiga, Chimp World and Wallaby Walkabout.   Look out for special events throughout the year such as Shriek Week on Halloween.  If you book tickets online you can obtain a discount of 10% and are also fast tracked on entry to the zoo - a great idea in the school holidays.
