Surrounded by acres-upon acres of woodland and picturesque fields of wheat and barley, this chocolate box cottage provides an incredibly peaceful place to spend your time. While away your holiday with wildlife spotting excursions near or far – sink into your hot tub to watch the natural world gently breeze by or lace up your walking boots to explore ample footpaths all around the property. The accommodation itself is a generously appointed three-bed that happily hosts up to six guests and one dog.

The Cartlodge is perfect. From the spacious bedrooms to the well equipped kitchen and of course the beautiful views. It was perfect for everyone in our party as we could enjoy family time with meals all together in the dining area, time as a couple relaxing in the hot tub and time in the large outdoor garden area with our young child watching the wRead moreildlife. The Cartlodge was also in the perfect location. We were close to Ipswich where we could visit friends and also close to the train station meaning we could travel to London. It is the perfect, peaceful, tranquil spot and we absolutely fell in love. We hope to return again in the near future! Hide
