Cartlodge Loft

The River Waveney runs through the grounds here, where mature trees and open meadows create a secluded countryside setting. Cartlodge Loft sits within this landscape as a sympathetically converted space, accessed via an 11-step entrance to the first floor. Inside, exposed beams frame an open-plan layout with living area, dining space and kitchen in one room, a bedroom with a double bed, and a bathroom with shower over the bath. French doors open onto a small balcony. Parking is provided for one car, and wifi is included.

The village pub lies within walking distance—about a mile away—along with a green and café. The grounds are shared with other properties on-site but include a sitting area with garden furniture. The kitchen is properly equipped for cooking, and the essentials like linen, towels and heating are covered. The river and grounds are accessible to guests, though the water is unfenced. This is a two-person cottage suited to a quiet break in a rural part of Mid Suffolk, with easy reach of Diss for shops and restaurants.
