Wangford Glamping Cottage, Perfect for a Countryside Holiday in Suffolk

Description

For a truly memorable weekend or longer holiday with friends and family, guests can enjoy exclusive use of this unique retreat where the sociable outdoor kitchen has stunning views from the timber deck; a multi-purpose events space can be used for entertaining or meditation; and five hand-crafted timber lodges with five separate heated shower rooms provide a degree of privacy allowing you to soak up all of nature’s benefits.

Each lodge was meticulously designed bringing individuality and character, while panelling gives the lodges depth and warmth. For a restorative night’s sleep, all the beds have a memory foam mattress and soft, fluffy duvets and pillows. Each lodge is named after a different element of nature, Pebble, Blossom, Willow, Lavender, and Feather. While they all have their own decking areas - perfect for watching the famous Suffolk sunsets - a few things set them apart like the number of beds they have (2 twins and three king-size), and their proximity to the facilities.

Start your day with a touch of wellness in the light-filled gym/yoga studio overlooking the fields; or enjoy your morning coffee awakening all your senses in the fresh air before exploring the area’s best forest walks, nature reserves and cycle trails, as well as its long coastline of sand and shingle beaches. When the day is done return to this oasis of calm to watch the sunset over secluded farmland from the deck. Families and friends can cook up a storm in the well-equipped covered outdoor kitchen and stretch out the evening playing board games, toasting marshmallows over the fire pit, and watching a galaxy of stars light up the sky before falling asleep listening to the gentle hooting of owls.

The Space:
OUTSIDE KITCHEN
This sociable space is a great place to congregate and chat at any time of the day whilst soaking up the scenery and wildlife in the adjacent field. It’s equipped with a Dracco Grills BBQ, a chip fryer, a combi oven, toaster, kettle, coffee machine, fridge and sink plus all the crockery, cutlery, and glassware you could need. There’s a handsome table, chairs and benches where you can dine together, and more casual seating on the wooden deck where you can relax and admire the view at any time of the day or evening with fire pits to add to the atmosphere as the sun sets. All your creature comforts have been considered with folding chairs so you can wander off and find a quiet spot on your own with a good book;
blankets to keep you cosy; and games to keep you amused. You’ll find an interesting selection of novels and reference books to inspire you to bird watch, explore the surroundings, try a few yoga positions, or entertain yourself with a little colouring.
For the ultimate mindfulness and well-being there is no WiFi, however if you can't resist or have the need to some connectivity you'll find a strong 4G signal and USB ports in the cabins..

EVENTS SPACE
There are so many possibilities for exclusive use groups with this multi-functional studio with French doors opening out to uninterrupted views over the cornfields.
During the day roll out the mats for some vinyasa on your own or book our professional yoga instructor for a group session.
The studio also doubles up as a gym, kitted out with a Peloton bike, free weights, Bozo and balancing balls and a Lonsdale punch bag with boxing gloves if you like to maintain your training.
In the evenings the room can be converted into an indoor dining area with the possibility of booking an outside caterer for that special occasion.

ACCOMMODATION
French doors open into each cosy lodge from a private wooden deck furnished with a table and chairs where you can soak up the environment and listen to the dawn chorus with a cup of coffee made by the Nespresso machine provided. Interiors are individually designed with a restful pallet of colours, fabrics and furnishings, including memory foam mattresses on each bed to ensure you have a wonderful night's sleep. You'll find space to unpack and settle in, a selection of books, radiators, reading lamps, a hair dryer and mirror, sockets and USB ports.
SHOWER ROOMS
There's a heated shower block with a private shower room for each lodge - so no sharing! Pebble Lodge has adjacent facilities and the other four are built just a short walk (less than 50m) away from the lodges to keep the feeling of ‘living within nature'. Each shower room is fitted with a huge power shower with luxury shampoo and shower gel provided; a wash basin; a WC and a heated towel rail. We have one shower room for each lodge, so there’s no sharing.

House Rules:
Exclusive use allows children and a maximum of two pets to stay but please ensure that both are supervised at all times and respect the natural environment.
