About this property

Heated Pool, large enclosed garden, dog friendly

Lodge cottage is a beautiful thatched holiday home with access to a heated outdoor swimming pool and a large garden set in the 5 acre picturesque grounds of Hacheston Lodge near the Suffolk Heritage Coast. It is a detached colonial style house, with a balcony and verandah offering accommodation for 5 people. The pool is open (morning and evening) from the end of May to the end of September. The cottage has a spacious and light first floor sitting room / dining room with French windows opening onto the south west facing balcony - a wonderful place to sit on a warm summer's evening. The three bedrooms are on the ground floor below. In addition to the verandah and balcony, guests have exclusive use of a large securely enclosed grassed garden.

Wonderful break!

Enjoyed staying at The Lodge - away from it all, peaceful, plenty of space and seclusion. Also enjoyed the facilities and the swimming pool - and comfortable beds! Thank you to our host Georgina for the “little extras” to greet us and for our happy stay in your home - loved by all.

Lovely stay with friends and dog

The cottage is beautiful, sparkling clean and has everything you could need to have a relaxing holiday. The accomodation is large and the lounge and bedrooms very comfortable.The grounds are impressive with the garden to the cottage secure for both chidren and dogs, my dog loved the space, and the fact we could explore the bridal paths on our morning walk. We found the surrounding area offers plenty of sight seeing and some excellent places to eat. Would highly recommend a stay at this lovely property.

Lovely cottage with a nice big garden

Really nice cottage with a unique lay out (bedrooms downstairs) and a massive garden which includes table tennis table and football goal. Comfortable beds (we all slept well) and loved the massive corner sofa in the lounge. The location was perfect for us in being close to places like Woodbridge and Aldeburgh. Only negative I would say is the showers are pretty hit and miss (not very powerful and hot to cold to hot during use).

Property was all we needed for our stay with the added bonus of the heated outside pool which we used every morning! The location is amazing, the village is beautiful, the church and the village hall, perfect for a dog walk! We did a mixture of eating in and out, the kitchen was well equipped and the added treats that were left were very much appreciated! Thanks for having us xx

Fantastic short break

Great property and communication with the owner. 3 out of the 4 of us are gluten-free and they had left some gluten-free snacks, which was so lovely. The property was exactly as described but a better experience than expected as there were so many nice touches that a lot of properties have used covid as an excuse not to provide - books, games and puzzles, cooking oil, tea and coffee, little jam pots, dishwasher tablets etc. Fantastic views from the living room and very peaceful. Would recommend😊

Hacheston Lodge

We had a lovely time at this thatched property. Georgina the host was very helpful with our queries. Two things I would improve is the pressure in the hot water for the shower. It is like a trickle and I have very thick hair. It also smelt a bit damp in the bedrooms which were situated downstairs I presume because they are below ground level. We loved the sitting room and the wonderful sofa and the veranda was a delight.

Great location, wonderful property.

Comfortable, well equipped with many thoughtful and welcome touches. Totally peaceful, great location, very close to all the best that Suffolk can offer. We found the maps and local guides provided really useful. Pub recommendations were spot on, try the Ufford Crown if you can. This property was great for three adults on a short break, but would also suit a family with young children. Lots to do right on the doorstep! Recommended and we hope to return for a longer stay.

Fantastic break over Easter

We rented Lodge cottage with friends for a week over Easter 2023, being 5 adults, 1 teen and 2 dogs. The cottage was as described and in a lovely peaceful location, with a large enclosed garden ideal for young children and dogs. The lounge was stunning with views to all sides, everything was clean and the kitchen extremely well equipped, there were also lots of indoor/outdoor games and books etc. The owner Georgia gave extensive info prior to our visit and said hello during our stay to make sure everything was OK. Would definitely recommend Lodge Cottage as an idyllic base for exploring the area.

About the host

Hosted by Georgia Faulkner

Host profile image
Brian is a local veterinary surgeon and Georgia works alongside him in the practice. They have two school-aged children, two dogs - Bear and Ellie, 2 pet sheep - Luna and FG and 2 Alpacas.

Why they chose this property

We have lived around the Woodbridge area for many years, enjoying the proximity to river, forest, heathland and coast. We fell in love with the gardens and grounds of Hacheston Lodge. The village location is wonderfully convenient for local amenities and close to the A12 and A14 for access to London, Norwich and the Midlands.

What makes this property unique

Lodge cottage is very close to places of interest nearby. Framlingham, Woodbridge, Sutton Hoo, Snape Maltings, Orford, Thorpeness, Aldeburgh, Southwold, Walberswick, RSPB Minsmere and Dunwich are all a short drive away. There is a railway station in the next village of Campsea Ashe, with trains to Woodbridge and Ipswich. There are regular trains from Ipswich to London which means that day trips to the Capital are possible. Coastal and heathland walks, castles and cycling through the picturesque Suffolk villages and country lanes are just part of the pleasure, as are visiting friendly local pubs and restaurants. Come to Coastal Suffolk to get away from the crowds.
