Fern Lodge

About this property

Fern Lodge, a charming single-storey lodge resting in Stonham Aspal, offers a wonderful base for families and friends seeking a relaxing Suffolk escape. Boasting an inviting open-plan layout and a private hot tub, this property is perfect for unwinding after days of adventure. After pulling into your private parking space, the first impression of Fern Lodge is its inviting garden and decked terrace, a tranquil spot that sets the tone for your stay. The patio hints at leisurely mornings with coffee in hand and evenings spent soaking in the hot tub beneath a Suffolk sky. Step inside and feel the warmth of the open-plan living space, where a wooden floor stretches across the room, adding a touch of character.

The kitchen is thoughtfully equipped with a microwave, kettle and toaster, perfect for preparing simple meals before gathering around the dining table to share stories of the day. Beyond, the sitting area beckons with a soft rug underfoot, a comfortable sofa and armchair arranged around an electric fireplace, and patio doors that flood the space with natural light while opening out to the decking for seamless indoor-outdoor living. Continue through to two neat bedrooms, each designed with a soothing ambience. One offers a double bed with a TV for unwinding before bed, while the second double provides a restful space to recharge.

A sleek shower room completes the interior, featuring a walk-in shower, basin and WC for refreshing starts and relaxing ends to your day. Outside, the garden invites you to linger. Enjoy alfresco dining on the deck, stretch out on the lawn with a good book, or indulge in the hot tub as dusk settles over the countryside. A local shop is just a short stroll away for essentials, and a traditional pub sits within easy reach when you fancy a hearty meal out. Beyond your doorstep, the Suffolk & Essex Coast & Heaths National Landscape offers a patchwork of walking trails, wildlife havens and picturesque villages.

Spend a day in Ipswich exploring the vibrant waterfront, wandering through Christchurch Mansion and browsing boutique shops along its historic streets. Head to Aldeburgh for a coastal escape, where shingle beaches meet art galleries and the scent of freshly smoked fish drifts from the huts lining the shore. Or venture to Felixstowe, a classic seaside town with sandy stretches for leisurely walks, a lively promenade dotted with cafés, and the elegant gardens of Felixstowe Spa Pavilion for a scenic pause. Fern Lodge is a serene base for making memories, blending homely comfort with the beauty of Suffolk’s landscapes.
