Very well equipped kitchen. Comfortable beds and couches. Clean and the extras were appreciated- hot tub, camping cot and high chair.
Neil
We had a lovely stay here. It is well equipped with everything you need for a holiday. The coffee machine was a pleasant surprise of which we indulged in. If you want a quite place to stay that is well situated for Suffolk this is the place for you
Rosalind
Lovely lodge with an amazing location. Very cosy and comfortable. Hot tub was delightful! Thank you.
Deborah
This was a lovely lodge, clean and well equipped with a great hot tub and an amazing wood burner, welcome in January, and we had a very enjoyable weekend break. My only issue was I couldnt let my dog out anywhere without a lead and this was a pain. The site is fenced but too big to let a dog roam especially with cars about and an often open gate. T he description when advertised is not clear about this
Simon Pink
Fantastic location and lovely lodge
Kenneth
Third visit, say no more,can't wait to get back again, thanks
Jennifer
Superb lodge, well designed, plenty of space, loads to do nearby. A relaxing getaway. Highly recommend.
Charlie
We had 7 nights in this lovely location. Right near flat ford mill, wonderful walks with dogs. I am a wheelchair user and found wheelchair access wonderful, level and no steps (there is however a massive lip to boot/laundry room) so I wasn't able to access that. We did however get cold a lot, in the nights and in the mornings when showering due to locks being on the thermostats and being able to see the arrow up but not being able to turn the heat up past 20.5, even when snowing. Beds so comfy
Julie
Outstanding holiday Everything very clean. All appliances premium brand and lodge decorated to a very high standard. Location beautiful and quiet. Recommend to anyone.
Ellen
It is a modern, well equiped and very clean cottage. The surroundings are wonderfull, we could see so many stars and hear the owls in the night. When we arrived there was a welcoming atmosphere. We hope to come back. Het is een heerlijk modern huisje met een haast on-Engelse inrichting. Het is erg schoon en er staat van alles al in het huisje zoals koffie en koekjes. De omgeving is prachtig. Het is een mooie uitvalsbasis voor dagtrips naar Londen of Cambridge.
