Set in the quiet village of Kirton, this sweet bolthole is perfect for couples and solo travellers looking for a relaxing holiday base within easy reach of the bustling seaside resort of Felixstowe. Offering fresh, light-filled accommodation for up to two guests, the main part of the accommodation is on the first floor, making a fantastic retreat for walkers, cyclists and nature lovers discovering a beautiful part of Suffolk. Set on the outskirts of the wonderful Suffolk Coast and Heaths Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, this lovely lodge is named after the birds which spend the summer nesting in the owner’s cottage next door.

The ground floor features a handy hallway and a charming shower room, with a staircase leading up to the first floor and directly into a light, airy and welcoming open-plan studio-style lounge/kitchen/diner/bedroom. This spacious and inviting room features low ceilings and windows allowing plenty of light to stream in. The central lounge area has a cosy sofa, perfect for snuggling up together at the end of a great day. The small kitchen area has ample equipment to rustle up your favourite meals which you can enjoy around the cheery dining table. Finally, the Smart TV is positioned over by the sumptuous double bed. Heading outside, a small lawn section of the owner’s garden has been allocated to the lodge. Here you can sit back on the bench and enjoy the summer sun.

Kirton is a friendly village with a welcoming pub and makes a great base for walkers and cyclists. The village lies midway between the River Orwell and the River Deben, with the bustling seaside resort of Felixstowe just a short drive away (4 miles). Inland, you can explore the historic town of Ipswich (8.5 miles) and the picturesque market town of Woodbridge (9 miles).

It was lovely, the only problem we had was our elderly dog couldn't manage the stairs. He had to stay in the hall all the time.
