Had a lovely few nights away. The lodge was comfortable with a well equipped kitchen and a good sized hot tub. There are 7 lodges on the site, some are more private than others. Great location for dog walks straight from the lodge. We walked to Flatford Mill, Dedham and the Oranges and Lemons tea room.

Came for a short stay as a birthday surprise - was everything we hoped it would be and more. Watching the sunrise, listening to the birds (tawny owl whist in the hot tub!) peace and tranquility, and lovely autumnal walks close by. Definitely recommend

Lovely comfortable lodge, the beds really comfortable. The hot tub was not really overlooked (some on the site are) the nearest pub is about 1.5 miles away, but is a lovely walk across the fields and if you don't mind driving there are plenty of places to eat just a short drive away. Loads of walks from the door

an impeccable property, very well appointed, brilliantly planned position for privacy. Extremely well maintained, comfortable, warm and cosy, without being cramped, bathroom and kitchen superb quality. The utility room was a godsend, and the wood woodburner the finishing touch. Thankyou so much
