Ramson Lodge - with hot tub & fishing lake

KellieRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Absolutely amazing. Beautiful inside and the grounds were even better. I booked this for my mum 60th birthday and we all had an incredible time. All rooms were beautiful with a lovely kitchen too, even better the welcome pack they leave you. The wrap around veranda was the highlight for us, we spent most of the days on that with the hot tub, we were lucky enough to have good weather so we could really make the most of it. The fishing lake was lovely my partner fished and enjoyed it. The owner was always happy to answer any questions whenever I needed them. Thankyou so much.

The Farmhouse

OliverRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Sarah and Aaron were great hosts. Extremely friendly and flexible , our kids loved chatting with them at the end of the driveway. They let our little boy fish in their big pond which he loved and chopped extra wood for me who loves their open fire and log burner in what is a lovely spacious house. Such a spacious and peaceful stay. Would absolutely recommend this air b&b and these hosts. No stress at all. Thank you

Old Oak Barn with Jacuzzi hot tub

StaceyRating, 5 stars4 months ago
Cannot recommend this place highly enough. Marcus ensured we were very well informed before arrival providing a guest book with comprehensive information and recommendations. We were greeted with bottles of wine & the house was very warm & music sound system set up. The barn is absolutely beautiful & immaculate. It is in a very remote area but this suited us all as we were happy to stay in and enjoy it. The log burner, games room & hot tub were added bonuses. A big thank you to Marcus for a truly amazing weekend break away with good friends ❤️

Bellropes - Modern Countryside Retreat Sleeps 27

TomRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
Fantastic facilities for a big group weekend away; we were a group of 18 and had plenty of space and the sleeping arrangements were great. The property has been redeveloped to accommodate large groups. Karen was very helpful before and after the booking, asking about bedroom set up (twin vs double) and also giving instructions around check-in and check-out. The garden is fantastic and we enjoyed making use of that and the hot tub! We also had caterers in on the Saturday night who had cooked at the venue before and the enormous dining table was brilliant for our celebration.

Beautiful Barn with wood burner near Snape

LucyRating, 5 stars4 days ago
We loved our stay at Acorn cottage barn. Location is perfect for Aldeburgh and exploring Orford. The barn was spotless, spacious and we had everything we needed plus more. Toys for the toddler was a bonus plus cot, highchair, black out blinds and bath mats were super thoughtful. Helen was always responsible and made sure we had all we needed. Would highly recommend this accommodation and will be telling our friends and family about it. Thanks Helen!

Luxury, cosy studio in village with pubs & walks

MariaRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
The surrounding area is populated with buildings that are centuries old. Staying at the Old Forge involved us closely with the charm and history of this area of Suffolk. The local shop the Boxford Stores is the oldest recorded shop in Britain. The beams in the bedroom are beautiful, my husband even noticed the traditional plasterwork had horsehair within it. It's certainly the most historically interesting individual home we've stayed in , fascinating. The bed was so comfortable, we loved the quality of the bedding.

Romantic riverside beauty - Woodshed Letheringham

SusanRating, 5 stars6 days ago
Letheringham Mill is an incredibly beautiful place, and the cottage I stayed in was out of this world. The grounds are stunning, so obvious Jacqui is a keen gardener, yet incredibly dog friendly. Inside is as wonderful as outside, and there is a wonderful eye for detail, and the cottage is so well equipped. I'm trying to be a tad careful as to the help Jacqui actually gave me, as I don't want future guests to expect the same and leave her in an awkward position.... she was a phenomenal host!

The cottage is framed by lush greenery and blooming lavender, creating a serene garden space. A winding gravel path leads to the cottage, which features a warm red roof and smooth exterior. A wooden fence and trees provide a sense of privacy.

The Coach House, Melton, Woodbridge

SimonRating, 5 stars1 month ago
The Coach House is beautiful, cosy, secure and a walkable distance into Woodbridge. The bedrooms in particular are lovely — high-quality bedding, both en-suite. It's located in the very large garden of Julia's house, which guests are free to make use of. Because Melton is a mile or so out of Woodbridge, it's easy to drive out towards places like Orford (well worth a visit). Julia was very easy to deal with. We would be very happy to return.

The exterior wall of the lodge features a metallic sign that reads 'Serenity Lodge.' The signage is displayed prominently against the neutral-toned siding, offering a welcoming identification of the property.

serenity luxury lodge

ChrisRating, 5 stars7 months ago
Accommodation: The caravan itself was spotless and well-equipped with all the modern amenities one could need. The kitchen was fully stocked with utensils and appliances, making it easy to prepare meals. The living area was cosy and comfortable, perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring. The beds were incredibly comfortable, ensuring a good night’s sleep. Bonus did not need to take bed linen as the beds were made up Facilities: The park’s facilities were top-notch. The communal areas were clean and well-maintained, and the on-site shop had everything we needed. The kids loved the playground and the swimming pool, which were both safe and fun.
