3 Bed Lodge in Athelington

About this property

Escape to this beautiful timber lodge on a historic North Suffolk working farm, complete with a private hot tub and sauna for a relaxed countryside escape. Set within private grounds, you’ll find peaceful walks from the door and an on-site shop for everyday essentials and local treats. Venture to Framlingham Castle for soaring views and storied ramparts (8.5 miles), enjoy a ride on the Mid-Suffolk Light Railway (9.5 miles), or browse family attractions and boutiques at Stonham Barns Shopping Village (11 miles). For sandy strolls and sea air, the Suffolk coast is within 25 miles.

Inside, the open-plan living space brings everyone together. Settle on the sofas for film nights with a Smart TV and DVD, warmed by a coal-effect electric fire. The dining area invites lingering meals, while the fitted kitchen makes holiday cooking easy, with thoughtful extras such as tea towels and dishwasher tablets provided, plus a coffee machine for slow mornings. A private sauna adds a soothing treat after a day out. The sleeping layout suits families or three couples: a king-size bedroom with an en-suite walk-in shower, and two twin bedrooms that can be arranged as king-size on request. A family bathroom offers a bath with a shower over the bath.

Outside, relax on the gated veranda furnished with outdoor rattan seating, an easy spot for unhurried breakfasts or evening chats. The private hot tub is sunken into the deck for easy access and starry-night soaks. Enjoy the calm of the rural setting and pick up supplies from the on-site shop between adventures. There is private parking next to the lodge.
