Fernfield Lodge

Fernfield Lodge works well for couples or small families wanting a rural base without fuss. The two bedrooms—one double, one with bunks—sleep four across a whole property to yourself. There's a compact kitchen for self-catering, a living room with TV and wi-fi, and one bathroom with a shower. Electricity, bed linen and towels come as standard, so you need only bring clothes and food.

The cottage sits on a quiet country lane in West Suffolk woodland, within easy reach of walking and cycling trails through the surrounding countryside. A pub is less than a mile away. MDL Woolverstone Marina is nearby if you want a day out on the water. The setting suits anyone after a straightforward countryside break rather than luxury or entertainment laid on. Smoking is not permitted inside.
