Want to explore? You've got 70 acres of private woodland right on your doorstep. Perfect for morning walks where you can pretend you own the place. The enclosed garden means your dog can run free without you having to chase it across three counties. Stowmarket is just 4 miles away with its twice-weekly market, while historic Bury St Edmunds lies 12 miles from your door with its brewery (priorities, right?).
The accommodation features a spacious open-plan ground floor with French doors flooding the space with light. The kitchen comes fully equipped with everything from an induction hob to an American-style fridge/freezer - because holiday cooking should be better than at home. Sleeping arrangements include a super-king bedroom and king-size bedroom (both with en-suites), plus a family room with double bed and single bunk above.
Visit the Museum of East Anglian Life in Stowmarket (4 miles, 10 mins). Explore Abbey Gardens in Bury St Edmunds (12 miles, 25 mins). Discover Ipswich's modern waterfront (16 miles, 30 mins). Take countryside walks directly from your door through the farm's private woodland trails.
The Cartlodge is ideal for families, couples or friends seeking space and privacy. After a day exploring, sink into your private hot tub with a glass of something cold. Just remember to bring separate towels - nobody wants to dry their face with your hot tub butt-towel!
