Castaways Lodge 5 Reviews

Emma
Loved how close it was to the beach, the stunning sea viewand the lodge was really nicely set up. First time here, definitely returning!
Emma
This lodge was absolutely lovely! The place was super cleanand the welcome pack was a nice touch. Quiet spot, the hot tub was great. Definitely recommending it to friends whenever I can!
Emma
We had a great time, the staff were friendlyand the place was really charming overall.
Harriet
We loved the location of the property - right on the coast with direct access to the beach and the scenic coastal path. Waking up to views of the sea and the beach was really specialand there’s a cosy little garden with furniture perfect for sunny days. Just a ten-minute stroll along the shoreline takes you to a charming cafe and the Sailors Rest pub, which serves food all day. If you fancy a treat, there’s a local chip shop with great fish and chips too. For nature lovers, there’s a reserve at the end of the beachand exploring nearby towns and villages is easy if you have a car. Coastal towns are absolutely lovely and worth a visit. The property itself could do with a bit of updating - it’s a little tired in places and could be cleaner. The seating arrangement was a bit odd, with not enough relaxing chairs for everyone, though there was plenty of dining space. On the plus side, everything we needed was there: plenty of pots, pans, crockeryand some thoughtful touches like a welcome pack and toiletries. We stayed in Mayand it was great to know that Kessingland beach is open all year round for dogs, which was perfect for us and our pooch. Overall, a lovely stay with a few minor improvements needed!
Emma H.
The spot is perfect, right by the sea, which we loved! Had a tiny hiccup with the wood not being clear at first, but the owner was super helpful and sorted it out quickly. Lovely stay overall!
Emma
We really enjoyed our stay here. The place is nicely equipped, with a lovely sea view that instantly relaxes you. Sitting in the secure garden with a drink was a highlight. It’s a great spot for exploring Southwold and Lowestoft, plus plenty of good fish & chips nearby. Perfect for catching up with friendsand our dog was super happy too! We’d definitely come back.
Emma
The place is perfect, right on the beach which was fantastic for morning walks with the pup. The kids adored the hot tub! Only 20 mins from Southwold, we’ll definitely return!
Claire
Nice overall, but a frying pan would help.
