About this property

The Lodges have their own entrance and private off road parking area with paved footpaths leading to a decking ramp for the front door or continuing to the paved patio area for alfresco dining.

The Lodges have an open plan lounge and kitchen/dining area, which over look the paddock towards the village, with a spacious double bedroom and shower room. The lounge offers a comfortable sofa and 32 inch HD smart tv. The kitchen benefits from having an oven with built in grill, 4 ring hob, microwave, toaster, kettle, built in fridge with freezer compartment, crockery, cutlery and all utensils.
Each Lodge has a paved patio, accessed through French windows, with table and chairs for you to enjoy the outdoors and lovely views along with a grassed garden area to chill out read your favourite novel or how about alfresco dining.

Coddenham itself boasts the medieval St Mary's Church, Coddenham Food Store which provides fresh bakery, veg, deli, off license, gifts, outreach Post Office and cafe, then there's the Community Sports Hall with its tennis courts, badminton court and bowls green, the Country Club if you fancy a tipple . The heritage coast with the towns of Aldeburgh and Southwold are only a 45 -60 minute drive, and Constable country with the towns of Flatford and Dedham are just a 40 minute drive.

Peaceful, restful stay

After a two week cruise across the Atlantic, we wanted to explore the East Anglia area. We couldn’t have found a nicer, peaceful place to stay. The tiny charming town of Coddenham is a real treat. Grahm was a most enjoyable, helpful host. The Lodge has all of the modern amenities. I highly recommend a stay.

Cosy & Warm chalet in Suffolk

We had a nice weekend break at Squirrel. We found it clean and well equipped with appliances for self catering, which is what we were looking for. The chalet heating was very efficient with thermostats for each room which made it very cosy, as the weather was very chilly on our 3 day stay.

Great return

We have stayed in Grahame's two lodges before. They are excellent and really well thought out properties for couples. The location on the edge of a small village is excellent. I would add that driving around the narrow lanes of Suffolk is a lesson in courtesy, patience and occasionally reversing. It's not a problem, in fact it's a refreshing change just smile and wave and allow yourself more time. You came here for a change of pace so relax and enjoy.

A Lovely Getaway

A wonderfully warm a friendly lodge. From inside you wouldn't know the building was made of wood. Lovely presentation with lots of pictures and ornaments to give a homely feel. Plenty of cooking equipment, cutlery etc. all in good order. All in all would highly recommend as a base for exploring the area
