Welcome To Lodge Farm Cottages

​

Lodge Farm Cottages are two self-catering barns on our working arable farm on the Suffolk coast between Southwold and Lowestoft, only 10 minutes from the beach.  We want to make everyone's stay as enjoyable as possible and have provided suitable access within the limits of the original building.  As the cottages are converted agricultural barns, there are limitations to what we can offer and which adaptations we can make.

​

The Granary which sleeps 6 people (with space for a Z-bed for extra child plus travel cot) has a king bedroom with en-suite shower room, double room and twin (or king) room on the first floor with a large bathroom with bath and separate shower cubicle.  The spacious ground floor has a wet room and an open plan living / dining / kitchen. 

The Dairy sleeps 4 people (with space for a travel cot) in a double bedroom with en-suite shower room and a twin bedroom.  Also on the first floor is a large family bathroom.  The ground floor is a spacious open plan living /dining/kitchen with cloakroom.

​

The large patios and shared garden have views over farmland.  Perfect for families, couples, business trips and groups of friends
