Beautiful lodge in lovely, tranquil surroundings and located in a quaint village. A perfect few days away. Lodge is very cute but doesn’t fall short on what it offers… it has everything you need for a lovely little break.
Great Swiss style chalet with excellent facilities.
Good kitchen, shower and bed.
Quiet setting with plenty of wildlife to observe in the daytime.
Great location for exploring Suffolk and further.
Lovely little lodge, comfortable and private. Spotlessly clean and with lots of walks on our doorstep. Near to local attractions and set in lovely grounds.
Such a great stay in this beautiful accommodation. Everything we needed, super clean, gorgeous surroundings and many places of interest within easy reach. We have stayed at the lodge before and will definitely return - thank you!

Tranquil lodge in a lovely village setting
Good value lodge in a quaint village in Suffolk, very clean and very well presented lovely area for walking. Would definitely recommend if you like to get away from it all, Grahame makes a great host. Will be back!
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.
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.

Didn't want to leave!
We had a fantastic holiday in Squirrel. Grahame has thought of everything you could possibly need to make your holiday as comfortable as possible. Highly recommended! Thank you Grahame!
Grahame is an outstanding host who always ensures that guests are happy.
The accommodation is well designed, comfortable and feels like home.
The location in Coddenham is quiet and beautiful, with easy access to many footpaths, the Community Shop, Community Center and surrounding towns and villages. We never want to leave.
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.

Disappointed
Propert looks ok from outside. Its,extremely basic,just the b are necessities, Arms of Sofa are grubby, and the toilet brush needs replacing,
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
Excellent accommodation good communication with owner Grahame, our 2nd time here so quiet and peaceful but close to everything you need .
Thank you Grahame and we look forward to seeing you again soon
Tim and Carole
Very helpful to be able to stay on Squirrel while our house was having work done.
We were able to go home each day to check what was needed to be done
Family members were allowed to visit for lunch
which was most kind
Lovely weekend away…Property is looked after very well, nice and clean and warm great location too. Grahame was very welcoming and accommodating. Thank you Grahame.
A very clean, well quipped chalet set in a quiet village location offering good access to popular coastal, NT and village and town attractions.
Would highly recommend and would stay there again ourselves if travelling in that location in the future.
