I can’t recommend this holiday house enough. The place was presented clean and tidy. Everything worked as it should. Except for the coffee machine, I couldn’t get that working but I don’t own one, so it was probably me. The rooms are huge, as are the beds. The towels and bedding are of very good quality. The kitchen is a good size with plenty of cupboard space. There are three showers, One in each of the ensuites, and a walk-in shower in the ‘family’ bathroom which is also wheelchair accessible. It’s all on one level so no stairs. The picture showed one Sofa, but it now has two, bonus! The outside seating area is a lovely touch. I spent many hours sitting, reading and listening to the birds. I would book it again at the drop of a hat. The owner popped over to tell us a couple of things that were happening locally and we went to both. Thank you for taking the effort made in keeping the place in great shape.
Once again, fabulous feedback for Downbridge Lodge and thank you for your excellent recommendation.
Super clean. Super host, will return.
The accommodation was really well equipped with everything we needed and spotlessly clean. We would love to stay there again.
Thank you very much for your lovely review. We are so glad that you have enjoyed your stay at Downbridge Lodge and we look forward to possibly welcoming you back in the future.
Very comfortable and welcoming. Downbridge Lodge is well equipped, modern and warm. A good base from which to explore both coast and countryside
This property had loads of space, lots of parking, and even though we visited in October the underfloor heating kept the whole place warm without being too hot. Well equipped kitchen and great beds and bedding. Decent sized TV plus a great wood burner. Owner was super nice as well - we ran out of dishwasher tabs and he couldn’t have been more helpful. Only slight negative would be the sofa. Not that it wasn’t actually a pretty good sofa but not quite what my wife and I would have chosen - not a great fan of leather although in fairness it’s not like we didn’t know before we booked! Overall we really loved this place and would certainly consider booking again.
Very spacious. Welcoming and helpful host. Lovely location and many interesting places to visit nearby. Good quality pots and pans. Cons: more cutlery and mugs would be welcome. Needs more comfortable seating. The surface of the butchers' block table is uneven - a bottle of wine fell off it soon after our arrival, before we had learned to avoid using it. Nowhere to hang up tea towels. Fridge is rather small.
Thank you so much for leaving your helpful review for Downbridge Lodge. We will pass on your suggestions to the owner.
Downbridge lodge is absolutely amazing, a wonderful Peaceful place to stay . Very clean . Very near to travel to places to visit . Beds were very comfortable.. only thing I would say is could do with an extra sofa. Other than than was wonderful. Stuart is extremely helpful.
What a great review for our lovely property Downbridge Lodge. Thank you so much for taking the time to leave your feedback.
Super facilities in a very quiet location.
Everything about the holiday, accomodation, facilities were first class. It is set in an area of historical hotspots and natural beauty. The peace and quiet mind blowing. Our hosts were discrete but always ready to help. Having never been to Suffolk found the 'locals' to be welcoming and obliging.
Fabulous, very comfortable, 5 star accommodation. Very well presented and lovely quite surroundings and friendly host in Stuart. We have been here 3 times so far, would definitely recommend.
Wonderful property and a very helpful owner. Highly recommended!
Lovely well equipped property. Worked well for two couples. Enjoyed the location and wildlife. Owner very friendly.
Well positioned for exploring beautiful Suffolk, quiet peaceful situation. Lodge very well equipped but would benefit from a comfortable armchair or two. That apart, excellent in all respects.
Magnifique maison de plain-pied moderne, confortable, très bien conçue, avec tout le nécessaire pour passer des moments agréables. Le temps encore un peu froid nous a permis de profiter du poêle à bois, mais pas de la terrasse, ce que nous comptons bien pouvoir faire lors d'un prochain séjour. Bien au calme et entouré de verdure, Downbridge Lodge est idéalement situé pour rejoindre les côtes du Suffolk, visiter les nombreux points d'intérêt dans la région ou essayer les pubs environnants. Stuart est un hôte charmant, aux petits soins et de très bons conseils en cas de besoin. Nous avons passé un très bon séjour, ensoleillé pour la plupart du temps, ce qui a été une agréable surprise en ce mois d'avril.
Magnificent modern single-storey house, comfortable, very well designed, with everything you need to spend pleasant moments. The weather, which was still a little cold, allowed us to enjoy the wood stove, but not the terrace, which we hope to be able to do during a future stay. Quiet and surrounded by greenery, Downbridge Lodge is ideally located for reaching the Suffolk coast, visiting the many points of interest in the area or trying the surrounding pubs. Stuart is a charming host, attentive and very good advice when needed. We had a very good stay, sunny for most of the time, which was a pleasant surprise in April.
Downbridge Lodge was most welcoming with a beautiful hamper of goodies and essentials on the table on arrival. The lodge is stunning and Stuart the owner is very helpful if you require anything. Definitely a wonderful place to stay.
A spacious, well equipped, quiet holiday home. The welcome basket was excellent. Having family in the village we will be back.
Second visit to this fabulous property. Clean, bright and comfortable. Quiet position in very pretty village. Welcome pack much appreciated. Thoroughly recommended.
Thoughtfully designed and beautifully appointed the Lodge gave us everything we could have wanted. Ideally situated for a short stroll to the pub, or for wider exploring. It’s central location meant we had great days south at Woodbridge and Sutton Hoo, Snape and Aldeburgh. We also managed great trips out to Blakeney and the North Norfolk coast. Perfect !
Downbridge Lodge is beautiful and very well thought out and one of the best places we have stayed in. Stuart seems to have thought of everything with lots of little extras making our stay perfect. Everything about the Lodge was lovely. Thank you Stuart for a brilliant week I'm sure we will be back.
