  We had a great time at The Hollies.

  It was well equipped and the kids loved table tennis. The benches at the dining table were a little precarious for the kids (aged 9, 10 and 12) when they tried to pull them closer to the table. One in particular would rock forwards if not careful. A couple of normal chairs would be helpful for ease of use for those of us who are quite arthritic. The round handles on the doors were really tricky to grip and turn for my arthritis - not a complaint, just if we stay there again, I will take some sort of arthritis aid for opening such doors. I would love to see some extra drawer storage in the main bedroom as there were only 3 small drawers and then just hanging space in the wardrobes. Also, the beds are quite high, which is fine, except for the shorties amongst us, it’s a bit of an issue to sit and get socks on, so a chair in each bedroom would be really helpful. The location was great and peaceful. Lovely beaches nearby. Really enjoyed our stay and would consider returning in the future.

  We had an amazing week at Acorn Lodge over Christmas!

  The lodge was extremely well equipped with everything we needed, very clean, warm and comfortable! There were also lots of added extras such as tea, coffee, milk, dog bowls, bin bags, soap, washing up liquid etc that we were not expecting! The whirl pool bath and log fire were also an added bonus after exploring the local beaches such as Southwold, Thorpness and Aldeburgh. Indeed, the location was perfect, quiet, private and secluded, while being within eaay reach of beaches, walks and towns. We met the owners once, who were lovely and extremely helpful-nothing was too much trouble and they made us feel very welcome! We would definitely return to Acorn Lodge in warmer months to experience the outside secluded garden, which included a fire pit, BBQ and table/chairs etc (It was also totally secure for our dog, being fenced off and enclosed) Acorn lodge was one of the best places we have ever stayed and we would highly recommend it! 10 out of 10.. we will definitely be returning!

  Wonderful lodge in a quiet area, with a warm welcome.

  Furnished to a high standard and with good quality linen. Secluded and fenced garden makes it perfect for dogs. Kitchen was well appointed although missing a washing machine at the expense of a (very useful) dishwasher. There was no casserole dish, but all the usual items were present. For a luxury cabin that could easily be used for a week away from civilisation, the fridge was very small in my opinion. Bathroom was well appointed but lacking in storage space - a shelf or two might help. Livign area was superb - good furntiture and a tv with radio built in. A foot stool may be a helpful addition to help when relaxing. Bedrooms were faultless - great mattresses and linen, plenty of storage space. Great nights sleep. Plugs to charge phones just behind bedside tables, and a great mobile signal & internet. Great hosts, great cabin and I very much look forward to returning.

  Acorn Lodge is a wonderfully comfortable and well equipped cottage.

  Small details such as milk in the fridge, tea/coffee, jams, dog bowls & treats made all the difference and we felt welcome from the moment we arrived. The whole garden is well fenced making it safe and secure, perfect for both dogs and small children. The cottage has been finished to a high quality and is brand new! Being at the end of a quiet lane on the edge of farmland this makes for a peaceful, rural holiday with a network of public footpaths right from the front door but within a short drive to many Suffolk attractions such as Framlingham & Orford castles, beaches galore and the gorgeous seaside towns Aldeburgh & Southwold. The owners of Acorn Lodge greeted us across the fence, as we arrived the property is within the grounds of their house) and were unobtrusive throughout whilst being on hand had we needed them. Overall a very relaxing holiday - just what we needed.

  The moment we entered Acorn Lodge, we knew that it would be perfect as a base for our walking holiday.

  My son and I normally do B&Bs for our walking holidays but could find nothing available nor suitable for our needs and that of our dog. We therefore decided to rent a cottage instead. What a great decision. When we got back from a full day's walking, it was warm and comfortable, there was plenty of hot water for a restorative bath and it was easy to get our outdoor clothes dry. On the one day when the weather was truly awful, Acorn Lodge was a lovely place just to lounge in, read our books and generally relax. The kitchen was also really well-equipped so it was easy to make the obligatory cooked breakfast. All in all we couldn't find fault and would recommend Acorn Lodge to anyone as an excellent place from which to explore this fascinating part of the UK.
