  We thought this was a fantastic lodge and we really enjoyed our stay here.

  We found the lodge was every that was listed and was really cosy and comfortable. The heating was on when we arrived which was fantastic as it had been a really cold day. The beds were really comfortable and I had a couple of really good night's sleep. The bathroom had a really, really good shower as well, which was really appreciated. The lodge is in very pleasant surroundings just off a very quite road. On the bird feeders and in the surrounding fields we saw a lot of different wildlife, including green woodpeckers, greater spotted woodpeckers, tree creepers, buzzards, an array of tits and a tawny owl (heard only). The lodge is in a really good location that's easy to get to and within an easy drive of a lot of what the region has to offer, such as Aldeburgh, Southwold, RSPB Minsmere, and Sutton Hoo to name a few. Saxmundham and Leiston have plenty of amenities if you need to stop up on any shopping to take back to the hut where there is the facility to cook up any reasonable sized dinner. Theberton itself is a quiet and charming village. There is a really decent playpark in the village that was ideal for our little one. One criticism I have is that the listing (currently) really understates how good the pub is. It's a cracking pub, with lots of decor that shows off the local history and you can find in the Good Beer Guide at the time of writing. The staff and locals were really friendly and there is a good range of home cooked food and they catered for the little one. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay here and if you are interested in visiting this part of Suffolk with a small family and are looking for a cosy and comfortable lodge within a good driving distance of many local sights then I would highly recommend this place.

  A welcoming home from home. Our stay here was wonderful. My favourite thing about Higham Place Lodge is the feel of the space, it is so welcoming, light and cosy. The lounge is very comfortable and spacious and there are lots of good book to browse. We brought our two retrievers and it was lovely to be able to open the lounge doors and know they had a large secure garden to explore. It was also so lovely to be able to walk them off-lead just beyond our garden around the 15acre estate. So many good dog walks around the area too which we will have to come back and explore more! I could not fault our hosts who gave us space to be autonomous but left a lovey welcome letter and hamper along with helpful info for us to get our bearings of the area. The lamps, heating and radio was left on for us as we arrived late on a dark, wet and freezing evening so that instantly made us feel welcome. The bed was very comfortable and the pillows are to die for. We all had such a happy relaxing week away and would highly recommend a stay here.

  The property was very new and made with top quality materials and as pictured in the brochure, however i found the layout of the rooms strange.

  The exits to the garden is from and through the bedrooms!. The grass had been very recently cut hence cuttings from the rear garden are constantly being deposited on the bedroom floor. Also the property is dog friendly, not all dogs are small, mine is certainly not and the bedrooms are quite bijou, she could not go through without rubbing against the bed plus lots of grass clippings on the return journey. We had to cover the side of the bed to prevent hair being deposited on the bed. Clearing up was difficult because there was only a broom and dustpan, there was no hoover. It was stated to be wheelchair friendly, I have pushed wheelchairs for a living for the past ten years and my wife sometimes has to use one, pea shingle is the hardest medium to push a wheelchair through so getting from the car to the ramp would not be easy. Doors were great but a wheelchair in either of the bedrooms would be challenging. Delightful lodge but different

  We have just had the most perfect stay at the Old Dairy . Hosts could not have been friendlier or more accomodating. The Old Dairy is spotlessly clean. Very tastefully put together with fabulous attention to detail and comfort. The welcome pack was very generous and delicious and so super helpful to get through first evening and breakfast meals. Our Dogs enjoyed there welcome gifts too. The Old Dairy is situated in beautiful peaceful surroundings with lots of lovey walks. We were even treated to a fabulous walk with our host to show us where the best sunsets were to be observed. Local pub food was perfectly acceptable and a great atmosphere was enjoyed. Great beaches a short car journey away. The information folder provided by our lovely hosts was very informative. Could not recommend more highly The Old Dairy . Thank you once again for a super holiday can't wait to return.

  Lovely little cabin.

  Very quiet without being isolated. Nice, clean and comfy. Pros: Quiet, enclosed garden, great shower, close to some nice walks, clean, well equipped. Dog friendly, dog treats with towel, fleece for furniture and towel for paws! Cons: Because close to farm, lots of flies so be careful if leaving windows open, shower doesn't drain quickly enough (damp clothes), be good to have an electric fan for hot weather. Fire exit lights quite bright but can't be helped - maybe take eye mask. I really enjoyed my short stay. Was comforting knowing my dog (Greyhound) could go in the garden for a good sniff. Had a quick trip to Dunwich Marshes for a looong walk. Bliss. I always put the key back into the key safe so I didn't lose it. It is a small cabin but as it was just me & Micky it was plenty big enough. Lots of power sockets including some USB points. Well thought out accommodation.
