The Alpaca Holiday Cottage in Suffolk
The Cart Lodge is a beautifully converted cart lodge in a tranquil position within Borley. What makes it alpaca heaven? Why is it affectionately know as the alpaca holiday cottage? Of course, it’s the three unique neighbours!
It’s clear the stunningly beautiful and incredibly stylish Cart Lodge makes for a particularly comfortable stay, with one unique bonus…
Casper, Douglas and Kit!
An exciting and fabulous addition at the Cart Lodge is the three friendly alpaca’s called Casper, Douglas and Kit in the neighbouring field. Known affectionately as the alpaca holiday cottage, the Cart Lodge is truly unique! Where else can you sit and enjoy your breakfast in the courtyard garden and watch these amazing animals waltzing by? There aren’t many beautiful properties which offer this special unique experience!
Within Borley itself you have some beautiful walks to be enjoyed across the Suffolk countryside. For when you want to sit and relax, the private courtyard overlooks the rolling countryside. Perfect for a break away relaxing.
Couples Retreat
As you can see, the property has been beautifully renovated to create a spacious cart lodge for a couple or two friends to enjoy. With a well-equipped kitchen/dining area, separate WC and shower room on the ground floor.
From there, the spiral staircase leads up to the open plan bedroom, living area with Juliette balcony. Light positively streams through the velux windows.
