Meadow Valley Lodge 1

About this property

A gorgeous wooden retreat surrounded by peaceful rural views, this two-bedroom Finnish lodge offers eco-friendly accommodation for families or small groups of friends. It’s located in the quaint village of Hintlesham, deep within the Suffolk countryside, creating a serene backdrop for your escape. Whether you’re sipping local ale in a pretty pub or tucking into a meal on Ipswich’s pretty waterfront (5 miles), you’ll find plenty to do nearby.

This sustainable four-person dwelling is made from attractive wooden panelling inside and out. Its spacious open-plan living area is the main hub, with comfy sofas, a modern kitchen, a breakfast bar and a dining table located next to huge sliding doors. Enjoy meadow views as you eat together, or if it’s mild enough, head outside onto the wraparound veranda to dine in the fresh air. Deckchairs are on hand for those lazy afternoons with a book and a cuppa. If it’s a cooler time of the year, you’ll appreciate the wood burner to create a cosy ambience inside. The two bedrooms each have their own bathrooms to ensure your privacy and comfort.

Hintlesham is known for its elegance and country charm, as well as the 16th-century Hintlesham Hall (1 mile) where you may like to treat yourself to an indulgent spa day. There’s also a lovely pub in the village (0.5 miles) for enjoying a quiet drink. Outdoor aficionados will love the numerous walking and cycling trails meandering through the idyllic landscapes nearby, with Dedham Vale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty just 11 miles away. Feel like a round of golf? Hintlesham Golf Club (1 mile) offers a pristine course set in gorgeous surroundings. If you’re after something the children will love, a family-friendly adventure awaits at Jimmy’s Farm and Wildlife Park (6 miles).
