We had a fantastic stay at The Lodge. 10 of us and 2 dogs celebrating my 50th birthday. The Lodge is well equipped, extremely spacious with a lovely garden. Even though not all of the bedrooms are ensuite there are more enough bathrooms to accommodate. We will hopefully be back and would highly recommend.

This house combines character and practicality.

Our family (3 generations plus dogs) spent a lovely long weekend at The Lodge. The property is spacious and accommodated all of us very well. It has a great social space for all the family to gather. It is very comfortable and had everything we needed for our stay, we felt very much at home on our holiday. It is in a brilliant location within WalRead moreberswick with all amenities within a short walk. It is detached and stands in a large garden making it the perfect spot if, like us, you have a bit of a noisy family! There are plenty of activities for everyone in the area from crabbing to great walks on the beach and the obligatory amusement arcade and pier in nearby Southwold. We would definitely choose The Lodge again for family holidays. Hide

The house and village are an ideal holiday location, especially for a young family, or in our case, three generations. The house is well equipped (including a table tennis table and table football).

Excellent location for the beach and delights of Walberswick. Wonderful open downstairs area with plenty of room for seven people. Great garden games for maximising the outside area.

absolutely perfect venue for a short break. despite saying the garden wasn't secure, we only found one small section of the garden wasnt wired up, and we blocked this ourselves, meaning the dog could run freely. maybe the downstairs bedroom was a bit chilly. but honestly, a really superb cottage. will defo return.

Fabulous weekend, the property was great, lots of space, the only problem we had was the induction hob, it was difficult to work out how to use it but we got there in the end and one of the saucepans kept making the hob turn off!!

We had an extremely enjoyable week at The Lodge, a very comfortable and well equipped property, in an ideal location. Just a couple of points - it would be very helpful if the windows in the downstairs bedroom could be opened, especially in the type of weather we have been experiencing this summer. The room became very stifling. And a couple of Read morethe towels were past their best, one like cardboard and the other raggedy at the edges. For the cost of the property, good towels should be expected. Small points which did not spoil a lovely week in a great property. Hide
