2 Bed Lodge in Athelington

About this property

Escape to this inviting lodge with a private hot tub, set on a historic working farm in North Suffolk. It’s perfect for easy-going escapes with family or friends. Pick up essentials from the on-site shop and enjoy the quiet of rural life with country walks from the door or relaxed afternoons on the gated veranda. When you’re ready to explore, uncover the stories and sweeping views at Framlingham Castle (8.5 miles), hop aboard heritage carriages at the Mid-Suffolk Light Railway (9.5 miles), or browse family attractions at Stonham Barns Shopping Village (11 miles). Animal lovers can meet friendly residents at Easton Farm Park (12 miles), while birdwatchers and walkers will relish the wild landscapes of RSPB Minsmere (21 miles). For beach days and coastal strolls, the Suffolk coast, including Southwold, Thorpeness and Aldeburgh, is within 25 miles.

Inside, the lounge is arranged for relaxed downtime, with comfortable seating gathered around a coal-effect electric fire for cosy evenings. Settle in for movie nights on the Smart TV with Blu-ray, or linger over unhurried meals at the adjacent dining table. The kitchen sits alongside so you can prep, cook and serve with ease, and an integrated ceiling radio adds a gentle soundtrack to your day. The sleeping layout suits families and friends alike: the main bedroom offers a king-size bed and an en-suite shower room with WC, creating a private retreat. A twin bedroom sits close to the family bathroom, which includes a shower over the bath and a WC, giving you options for quick freshen-ups or a long soak after time outdoors. Extra flexibility comes via a double pull-out sofa bed in the lounge for additional guests.

Slide open the door to a gated, decked veranda furnished with a table and chairs for simple al fresco dining. The private hot tub is sunken into the deck for step-in convenience, making evening dips straightforward and inviting. BBQs are available to hire (subject to availability), so you can sizzle supper and linger outdoors as the countryside settles for the night. Parking is provided right next to the lodge for easy loading and unloading.
