Violet Lodge

Set on a historic working farm in the North Suffolk countryside, this chic lodge offers peaceful downtime with a private hot tub and wide skies overhead. Pick up essentials from the on-site shop, enjoy gentle walks straight from the door, or plan easy days out nearby.

Scale the mighty walls of Framlingham Castle (8.5 miles), ride heritage carriages at the Mid-Suffolk Light Railway (9.5 miles), or meet friendly animals at Easton Farm Park (12 miles). For family attractions and browsing, Stonham Barns Shopping Village (11 miles) fits the bill, while birdwatchers can explore RSPB Minsmere (21 miles).

When the coast calls, Southwold, Thorpeness and Aldeburgh await within 25 miles for beach days and bracing sea air. Inside, the lounge sets a relaxed tone with comfortable seating gathered around a coal-effect electric fire, ideal for cosy film nights on the Smart TV with Blu-ray.

The dining area sits alongside for unhurried meals, with the kitchen adjacent so you can prep, serve and stay part of the conversation. An integrated ceiling radio provides a gentle soundtrack to mornings and lazy afternoons.

The main bedroom features a king-size bed and an en-suite shower room with WC, offering a private start and end to each day. A twin bedroom, which can be arranged as a king-size on request thanks to zip-and-link beds, is served by the family bathroom.

Here you will find a shower over the bath, a sauna and a WC—perfect for a quick freshen-up or a soothing session after time outdoors. Extra flexibility comes via a double pull-out sofa bed in the lounge for occasional guests.

Slide open the door to a gated, decked veranda furnished with a table and chairs for simple alfresco dining. The private hot tub is sunken into the decking for convenient step-in access—an inviting spot for an evening soak as the countryside settles.
