*We do NOT except all male groups* *NO wifi in lodges*We do not supply cots/playpens** We DO NOT except all male workmen*Our lodges are fully insulated,have double glazing and central heating. Perfect for all year round. Both lodges sleep upto 6 guests. A double bed and sofabed downstairs. The mezzanine has two single beds.They are well equipped with ensuite,television sofa and full equipped kitchen. We are surrounded by lovely countryside but also only a 10 minute walk into the village of long melford which has an abundance of pubs and tearooms. The lodges are our own unique design. There is also a lake you can fish in,swim in or use the kayaks.
