Wake up beside the water at this secluded one-bedroom lodge on the Norfolk/Suffolk border, where a private sauna, outdoor hot tub and peaceful countryside setting create a tempting escape for two. One of a small collection of lodges around the lake, it has fishing on site, so keen anglers can cast a line before returning to the deck to admire the views.
Inside, the open-plan accommodation has a bright living area with a comfortable sofa, Smart TV and DVD player, leading through to a contemporary kitchen that’s well-equipped for a self-catering stay. The super-king-size bedroom sits just off the living area and comes with its own TV and indoor lay-down sauna. After a day exploring the local area, the en-suite bathroom adds a touch of luxury with a walk-in deluge shower and a separate bath, while fluffy bathrobes are ready after a soak in the hot tub. Outside, the generous deck extends over the lake, creating a lovely spot for morning coffee, leisurely lunches, or an evening drink beside the water. The private hot tub is perfectly positioned for taking in the lakeside scenery, while a separate carp fishing lake is only 100 metres away. Fishing charges apply, and advance booking is required. Private parking for up to two cars completes this waterside retreat.
There’s plenty to discover nearby, too: the 100th Bomb Group Memorial Museum is 4 miles away, Diss Mere and the market town of Diss are 8 miles, and Bressingham Steam and Gardens is 10 miles from home. Framlingham Castle, 11 miles, is a great choice for history and panoramic views, while Banham Zoo (12 miles) has more than 1,000 animals to learn about.
