Beautifully designed with quality fabrics, furnishings and fittings throughout, the sociable and spacious open-plan living space is sure to be at the heart of your stay.

Lovely lodge, this was our second visit and I have to say it was just as good as the first! The only criticism I would have it there needs to be more cups and small glasses available this proved to be a problem for us

This lodge was a perfect get away for two couples travelling together with a dog. We were notified of a problem prior to our arrival of a faulty shower which was worrying and caused some stress for me but this was finally resolved for us on the day of our arrival. Beautifully located with a view that couldn't be beaten. The lodge was lovely and had good parking and was beautifully landscaped around it too. All areas were quiet and people sharing the walking areas very friendly. Lovely spacious lounge, kitchen and dining area with all we needed. Bedrooms beautifully styled and the bathroom and ensuite were roomy and bright. The lodge was cosy, warm and comfortable, we enjoyed our stay very much and would definitely return! Only negative points that we would mention are that it was not very clean and the spare cushions, quilts and pillows etc took up a lot of storage room. We were unable to connect toWiFi on our devices. Lovely stay and would recommend

Everything was great. Beautiful lodge, excellent furnishings and fully equip kitchen. Beautiful & peaceful location. Central to Alderburgh town and beach. The brook/ stream is right outside and unfenced, not sure how deep it is but caution is needed if travelling with younger children- we have 2 ourselves, aged 5&7. I just made sure to double check the patio doors and front door was locked and to be outside on the patio supervising them if they’re out playing at the front. We had a great time.

A beautifully furnished lodge with an outstanding view. All the comforts of home from home. Very well kept site and an easy walk into Aldeburgh. Would definitely stay again.

Overall it was good but there were a few niggles. Bed wasn’t made into a double even though we had asked several times for it to be done. There was limescale all over the shower heads and smeared glass doors. The cleanliness overall was ok just not 10 out of 10. More like 6 out of 10. The deck was very dirty. Looked like it had not been cleaned for months but they did resolve that very quickly and were always very helpful. The lodge is in a great location. Near all the shops and the beach.

Fabulous lodge, very clean inside with lovely comfy beds! The only down side was the decking area, this had a disused hot tub which wasn’t in the description and we were unable to use the outdoor furniture as there were dog hairs all over the cushions! If the outdoor area had a good clean and spruce up then everything would be perfect with this lodge
