Suffolk Self-Catering Holiday Accommodation

Hand-built and equipped to the highest standard, this stunning Lodge is set within the 950 acre Stoke by Nayland estate, adjacent to the Gainsborough Golf Course. The site was once home to the land army in WWII, but now offers a wonderful location for couples looking to relax in great comfort, but with top class sporting and leisure facilities on the doorstep.

Guests will be able to park close to the Lodge, which comprises two potentially independent floors. On entering the main outer door there will be a door to the ground floor and stairs leading to the first floor of the property. On the ground floor a central hallway leads to the living/kitchen/dining room, two bedrooms that can either be made up as super kings or two single beds, and en-suite bathrooms. One of the en-suites is also accessible from the hall, so doubles up as a family bathroom.

Beyond the living space is a balcony. Upstairs there is a small entrance area, leading into second large living/kitchen/dining space with doors out to an outside terrace area with views towards the golf course. At the rear of the property is a bedroom that can either be made up as a super king or two singles beds, dressing area and en-suite bathroom.
