1 Bed Lodge in Athelington

About this property

A stylish countryside lodge on a historic North Suffolk farm dating back to 1620, this is a peaceful retreat with a private hot tub and your own sauna for long, relaxing evenings. Pick up essentials from the on-site shop, follow gentle footpaths from the door and settle into the slower pace of rural life. When you’re ready to explore, climb the ramparts at Framlingham Castle (8.5 miles), ride a heritage train at the Mid Suffolk Light Railway (9.5 miles) and browse independent stores and family attractions at Stonham Barns Shopping Village (11 miles). For sea air and shoreline strolls, the Suffolk coast is within 25 miles.

Inside, an inviting open-plan living space brings cooking, dining and relaxing together. The lounge area is made for film nights and unhurried mornings, with a sofa, Smart TV, DVD, Blu-ray, and a coal-effect electric fire to set a mellow mood. A dining table sits alongside for lingering suppers and board games. The adjoining kitchen area keeps everything close to hand so you can chat while you prep and plate up. After a day out, retreat to the serene bedroom, where a distinctive four-poster double bed sets a restful tone. The en-suite bathroom offers choice and comfort, with a bath for a long soak, a separate shower and a WC. For a spa-style finish, step into your private in-lodge sauna and unwind at your own pace.

Outside, a gated veranda provides a private spot for al fresco dining, with a table and chairs ready for leisurely breakfasts and evening treats. The hot tub is sunken into the deck for easy access and laid-back soaks beneath expansive Suffolk skies. You’ll also find garden furniture for lazy afternoons, BBQs available to hire, and calming rural views across the farm. Private parking is provided next to the property.
