About this property

Woodpecker, Bespoke holiday lodge in beautiful Suffolk conservation village

These purpose built Suffolk Lodge holiday homes are set within 4 acres of private grounds within the medieval village of Coddenham. The Lodges have their own entrance and private off road parking area with paved footpaths leading to a decking ramp for the front door or continuing to the paved patio area for alfresco dining.

The Lodges have an open plan lounge and kitchen/dining area, which over look the paddock towards the village, with a spacious double bedroom and shower room. The lounge offers a comfortable sofa and 32 inch smart tv . The kitchen benefits from having an oven with built in grill, 4 ring hob, microwave, toaster, kettle, built in fridge with freezer compartment, crockery, cutlery and all utensils.
Each Lodge has a paved patio, accessed through French windows, with table and chairs for you to enjoy the outdoors and lovely views along with a grassed garden area.

Coddenham itself boasts the medieval St Mary's Church, Coddenham Food Store which provides fresh bakery, veg, deli, off license, gifts, outreach Post Office and cafe, then there's the Community Sports Hall with its tennis courts, badminton court and bowls green, the Country Club if you fancy a tipple . The heritage coast with the towns of Aldeburgh and Southwold are only a 45 minute drive, and Constable country with the towns of Flatford and Dedham are just a 30 minute drive. Don't forget to visit Lavenham and Long Melford, wonderful for an antiques hunt, again only a 30 minute drive.

. If you haven't already visited Coddenham, why not? It really is a great place to base yourself for exploring Suffolk, and choosing to stay in one of our Lodges offers you comfort and privacy with the security of having an owner on site should you need anything.

Lovely Quiet Location

Enjoyed our stay at Woodpecker Lodge in Coddenham as always. Very homely and peaceful and were blessed with gorgeous weather Noticed the lodge was not as clean as usual, only little things like many spiders and cobwebs/dust in bathroom. Nothing to put us off and we will return for our 5th visit

Walks & Location

Good location for public footpath/field walks near accommodation. Lovely local village shop with coffee shop, and essential food/local produce. Travelled by short car distance to Needham Lake; walked around, and into Needham Market high street; few shops /eateries. Worth a visit. We were blessed with good weather and at night had the pleasure to enjoy a quiet drink on accommodation patio looking down on village.

Peaceful location

Superbly situated for peace with lovely views, yet close to pretty and friendly village. Lodge is comfortable, clean and cosy. A tray would have been useful. An emergency contact number for owner also would be useful. So much to see in Suffolk, never disappoints and I love Portman Road

Excellent in every way. Wildlife, peaceful and so relaxing. Graham is the perfect host - not at all intrusive, a very nice gentleman. Lots of walks. Beautiful village. Community Stores and Cafe excellent. The only drawback is that we only booked for 4 nights. Definitely returning - and for longer.

A beautifully prepared and comfortable lodge. It was clean and well equipped. The lodge is located in a picturesque old village and well back from the road. Little noise other than birdsong.

Perfect!

Woodpecker is the perfect spot for a Suffolk get-away break. It's quiet, clean, modern, well equipped and comfortable. There's plenty of on-site parking in lovely surroundings. Proprietor Grahame is friendly and helpful, being close on hand to help. Coddenham is a small, rural village but does have a shop for essentials, and it's in driving distance of most Suffolk towns & attractions. We enjoyed our stay here very much & would recommend this holiday property highly!

This is a gem having all you would want from a short break. Very quiet and out of the way which we used to explore Suffolk gardens and National Trust sites. You couldn't ask for better !! cheers Graham
