The space

The single storey accommodation has a well-designed open-plan living space where guests can relax by the cosy electric stove watching their favourite programmes on the wall-mounted TV; cater in the well-equipped kitchen with Bosch appliances and bar stools to perch on whilst chatting to the chef; and enjoy home cooked meals (or a takeaway) at the corner table flooded by light.

Guests are sure to enjoy watching the sunset from the huge west-facing patio.

Lovely lodge, just like the photos. We were very comfortable there, a home from home and great to come back to after a day exploring Suffolk. The location is five minutes from the beach and a pleasant walk into Aldeburgh. Would recommend and stay again.

We had a lovely stay at Marshwiggle with friends and 2 dogs. Everywhere is close by and walkable. The lodge was so lovely and clean and cosy whilst still feeling spacious. It had everything we needed. Very quiet and very relaxing stay with plenty of nice walks and lovely pubs.

The lodge was really well positioned for the beach and both the Main Street of Aldeburgh and Thorpness. The camp site was really well presented and very quiet.
