Scapa Lodge

Reviews

Just what we wanted – a nice place to explore Suffolk from. Our highlights were the tour at Orford Castle, Constable’s Flatford Mill and sitting on the pier at Southwold. Framlingham Castle is also worth a visit – you can walk nearly all the way around the castle walls. Loved all the wildlife in the garden! Barbara & Geoff

We’ve thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Scapa Lodge and have been delighted with the wildlife we have seen in the garden:- muntjac deer, pheasants, various garden birds, hawk and a greater spotted woodpecker today! Wonderful! Thank you for letting us stay in such a cosy retreat! Fay & Frank

“Thank you so much for letting us stay in your comfortable cottage. It was all very clean and convenient and you, Craig and Debbie, were perfect hosts” Roger & Kathleen from Leicestershire

“We have so enjoyed our stay. Excellent quality cottage with everything one wants. Lovely friendly couple. Yummy tomatoes! Would highly recommend a stay. Thank you for our lovely stay, Pam & Stuart”

“Cool, calm, clean, comfortable & cosy. Near countryside & culture. What more can we say? Thank you. Debbie & Craig – such friendly & helpful owners” Anne & Richard from London:

“We have loved your perfect little lodge. Thank you for making us feel so welcome” Dawn & Rob

“We had a lovely time in Scapa Lodge, thank you. Great place and location. Recommend the Unruly Pig at Bromeswell & The Galley in Woodbridge” The Robinsons.

“My hosts were hospitable and also informative about birds and wildlife that could be seen within ½ - 10 miles radius. There were a wonderful variety of birds in the garden and a muntjac turned up one evening. Two great spotted woodpeckers and a chiffchaff were in front of kitchen on the grass. Little owls and Barn owls also occasional visitors. All in all a smashing base for a Suffolk chillout” Stephen

A very well appointed and comfortable barn. Tunstall forest is a dream - envy your everyday access. We've had a lovely time - thank you both for a warm welcome. Debbie & Craig

Scapa Lodge is a brilliant base to explore Tunstall Forest and reach the coast. We loved our NYE break here, from Debbie & Craig's warm welcome to the fizz & mince pies. The Lodge is cosy, warm and comfortable, and there is a good chance we will be back. Sarah & paul

We had a very friendly welcome from Deborah & Craig upon arrival at Scapa Lodge & were pleased with the welcome gift of tea, coffee and cookies. We have enjoyed walking from the door to Snape Maltings through Tunstall Forest and also walks from Aldeburgh, RSPB Minsmere, Rendlesham Forest, Orford & Southwold. Scapa Lodge is a very clean & cosy accommodation, perfectly located for a walking holiday - coastal, forest & heathland walks are all close by. Lynn & Kevin. Lincs

Very nice accommodation - a comfy bed and good shower. Location was perfect for our first visit to Sutton Hoo and for bird watching. Thank you. Barbara & Graham. Devon

My partner and I stayed at this delightful property in August 2019. It is owned by Craig and Debbie who were excellent hosts. They could not have been more helpful, advising us on where to go and what to see in the area. We were offered (and gratefully accepted) a lift to our concert at the famous Snape Maltings nearby so that we could enjoy some liquid Suffolk hospitality. The Lodge itself was spotlessly clean, warm and inviting. It was well-equipped and perfect for a short break or even a longer holiday. It is in a quiet part of the owners' garden with a small patio for sitting and enjoying the sunset with a glass of wine. We would recommend Scapa Lodge without hesitation! Nick and Isabelle.

Thanks for a lovely stay. A really nice, clean, welcoming accommodation. A lovely place in tranquil surroundings. A great location to explore the area, particularly enjoyed canoeing at Iken, and great food at The LIghthouse in Aldeburgh.

lovely location plenty of walks

Thank you for a lovely stay. Nice walks and not far from the beach and Minsmere. Great to see Deer in the garden every day. Lovely clean lodge, nice wildlife.

The owners Debbie and Craig were very helpful and friendly. Property very well placed to visit the Suffolk coast from south wold in the north to Woodbridge in the south. Also constable country within the hour and snape maltings on the doorstep.

What a lovely place to stay to explore the surrounding area. We seem to have fit so much into our week and of course the weather has been kind to us. Thank you for your kindness to us, you have a lovely place.

This property is a true gem and Debbie and Craig perfect hosts. The property is spotlessly clean and maintained to a high standard. The coast at Orford , and Snape Maltings within a few minutes drive and also superb walks in the forest on the doorstep. Perfect place to unwind.

Very relaxing place to stay. Excellent location for visiting a super area. Accomodation first class, would love to return to Scapa for a full week. Thank you

Scapa Lodge was a last-minute choice for us after accommodation we had already booked was withdrawn at short notice by its owner, but it turned out to be one of the most delightful holiday properties we have ever used. It is cosy, bright and well equipped and pleasingly situated within a large, quiet garden surrounded by fields. The owners, Debbie and Craig, were friendly, welcoming and helpful. We enjoyed the constant birdsong and I was delighted early one morning to hear, distantly, the beautiful song of a woodlark coming from Tunstall Common, which is only a couple of minutes’ stroll from the cottage and the start of many heathland and forest walks (with the chance of hearing nightingale and nightjar as well as woodlark). By car the cottage is within easy reach of destinations such as Woodbridge, Orford, Snape, Aldeburgh and Framlingham, and RSPB Minsmere is only 12 miles away. We have always enjoyed visiting this area, and we intend to return to Scapa Lodge next year.
