Set within the private grounds of Athelington Hall, this comfortable lodge places you in classic North Suffolk countryside on a historic working farm dating back to 1620. It’s a restful base with simple pleasures at its heart: a private hot tub sunken into the decking, a spacious gated veranda for lazy breakfasts, and an on-site shop for treats and essentials. Unspoiled farmland and big skies surround the park, offering a calm, rural setting to switch off between days out. Inside, open-plan living keeps everyone together, and flexible sleeping makes life easy for families or friends. With private parking right beside the lodge and wide lawns stretching ahead, arrival feels effortless and the outlook is wonderfully open.
