Maple Lodge

Escape to this wonderful lodge overlooking a secluded fishing lake on the Norfolk/Suffolk border, near the charming market town of Harleston. It's perfect for couples in search of a peaceful, restorative break in a quiet setting surrounded by open countryside.

The lake is stocked with roach, tench, perch, pike, and carp, and guests can fish directly from the lodge's private deck. When you’re ready to venture out, you could delve into history at The 100th Bomb Group Memorial Museum, enjoy nature walks at Diss Mere, or discover heritage railways and pretty gardens at Bressingham Steam and Gardens, all within 10 miles of this beautiful lodge complex.

Enjoy panoramic views and centuries of English history at Framlingham Castle (11 miles away), or meet a huge range of exotic animals at Banham Zoo (12 miles away). The open-plan living area is bright and sociable, with French doors that open onto the main lakeside deck and fill the space with natural light.

A comfortable seating area occupies one end of the room, with a Smart TV and DVD player for quieter evenings in. At the other end, the kitchen is well equipped for self-catering stays.

From the living area, the layout leads naturally through into the bedroom, the standout space in the lodge. A super-king-size bed takes centre stage, and boasts a freestanding bath.

French doors open onto a separate deck. The adjoining en-suite shower room is generously proportioned, with a large walk-in deluge shower and WC.

Bathrobes are provided for moving between the bath, the shower, and the outside hot tub, adding a leisurely feel to the whole space. The main deck extends along the lakeside, furnished with a table and chairs for al fresco dining with views across the water.
