The Lodge Greatwood

Pros: It was a lovely lodge with a very well equipped kitchen, lovely comfortable beds, great showers with plenty of space for everyone in a quiet location.

Perfect location for our family stay.

Pros: Quiet location. Great size property. Had everything you will need. Hot showers with decent power. Comfortable beds. Nice and clean.

Cons: Everything was to like.

A lovely family stay.

Pros: We had great communication throughout. There was plenty of room for the 6 of us in a large open plan lounge/kitchen and the beds were comfy.

Cons: I can’t think of anything!

A gem of a stay

Pros: Everything. Great stay, clean and comfortable and everything you would need. We came for a family wedding but would love to go again and explore the area more.

Cons: If I was being really picky the shower could do with a bit more power but it worked and it was hot so not a problem

A lovely base for exploring this part of Suffolk

Pros: We all enjoyed staying here. It was clean, comfortable and welcoming. Equipment was very good, it met all our needs for family catering, although a few more teaspoons would have been perfect. The beds, bathrooms and showers were up to standard with plenty of fluffy towels.

Cons: One thing only, and it’s an issue that may soon be resolved so check. Residents are clearly aware of the problem so will be lobbying as well as trying DIY solutions. If you have a low suspension car, the potholes on the approaching lane some two hundred yards before the gates would be a concern. One of our cars was a Porsche and we left it at the cottage until leaving rather than coming and going in it.

Well equipped clean and comfortable - everything as described.

Pros: It was easy to find. Comfortable and clean and well equipped. 5 minutes drive to The Crown hungry horse pub, and a very good 'Claydon chippy.' 15 minutes drive to Ipswich which was picturesque round the waterfront, also lots of shops. I can recommend the university coffee shop on the waterfront - lovely scones. The accommodation is close to woods and ideal for walking - which unfortunately we didn't do as the temperatures were below freezing. Hope to return in warmer weather and use the BBQ!!!!

Cons: Very minor point - it would be nice to have hooks in the bathroom for dressing gown etc. The underfloor heating took a while to heat up but it was understandable as it was one of the coldest weekends with January temps minus figures- it was minus 6 when we left! The owner had also provided a mobile oil filled radiator which was appreciated.

Great lodge with excellent facilities and very clean. We had a family break for New Year’s Eve and had a great time will

Pros: Clean with great facilities. Perfect host very welcoming, flexible and knowledgeable

Spacious and comfortable lodge

Pros: The property was perfect for our family Christmas stay. Communication with owner was clear with prompt responses and easy to follow directions to property. The property was spacious, clean, comfortable and had everything plus more in the kitchen - cafetiere and airfryers were just a few of the extra items plus basics of fairy liquid / plenty of dishwasher tablets etc. We highly recommend and would stay again without hesitation.

Yet Another Great stay at the Lodge!

Pros: I've stayed at the Lodge numerous occasions before and this clean, comfortable and well equipped accommodation always meets my expectations. The hosts May and David are always very helpful and accommodating.

A little gem!

Pros: Beautiful, quiet location but lots around to visit. Perfect for our 93 year old mother with ensuite bathroom.
