Oak Farm Lodge

This beautiful, treehouse-style lodge, set on a working farm, is perfect for couples seeking a romantic rural retreat close to nature and away from the hustle and bustle of daily life. There are excellent walks in the surrounding Suffolk countryside, offering views of the local scenery and wildlife. Cretingham, on the River Debden, is 1.5 miles away and has a lovely traditional Suffolk pub serving home-cooked food and with a cosy open fire. Visit Woodbridge, known for its boutique shops, galleries and restaurants. If you want to stay outside, walk the Deben Estuary Coast Path or take a cruise on the river before visiting the Anglo-Saxon burial sites at the National Trust’s Sutton Hoo. Both attractions are within 15 miles of the property. Alternatively, drive less than 20 miles to spend a fun day in the traditional seaside towns of Aldeburgh, with its shingle beach, or Southwold, with its superb sandy beach.

Relax and unwind in this characterful property, which is accessed via a steep, external wooden staircase. Step inside this studio-style space and take in the charming, strikingly beautiful exposed wooden beams against the whitewashed walls. The ambience is welcoming and homely with plenty of natural light and a comfortable sofa to snuggle up on after a day exploring the Suffolk coast and countryside. There are nature-themed furnishings that mirror the views of the scenic countryside. The compact kitchen has all the appliances you need to prepare light meals and snacks, and there is a wooden dining table with bench-style seating on one side and seats on the opposite, making this a lovely social setting for a romantic meal. Sit and read in the evenings, plan your next day of adventure or watch TV. When it is time to rest, drift off to sleep in the king-size bed and wake up to the charming countryside views. Completing the interior is a delightful contemporary bathroom with exposed beams, featuring a spacious walk-in shower and WC.

Step outside into the beautiful, spacious shared gardens bursting with flowers and teeming with wildlife. Enjoy the seating areas with tables, chairs, and benches, ideal for morning coffee or dining alfresco in fine weather. You can also take advantage of the direct access to nearby footpaths for peaceful countryside walks. Private parking is available for two cars.
