About this house rental
Just a 5 minute drive from the popular market town of Woodbridge, this is an ideal location for holidays or weekend breaks within easy reach of Aldeburgh, Snape, Southwold, Orford, Bawdsey and many other beautiful Suffolk highlights.
The Granary - Sleeps 4+ infants Comes as open living space with separate downstairs WC and dining table. While upstairs there are 2 beautiful bedrooms overlooking our pond with its wildlife. One bedroom has two singles the other has a kingsize with balcony. In-between these rooms is a family bathroom with shower bath, toilet and wash basin. There is also an enclosed decking area to the front with outside dinning including BBQ and sandpit.
Our plan has always been, and remains, that Partridge Lodge should be a relaxing, interesting and fun place for friends and families to come and spend their much prized holiday time. We provide everything you need to get your holiday started including child friendly equipment that we know from our own experiences can lead to heavy and rather bulky packing, which would be great to avoid.
Although there is (thankfully) no getting away from the beautiful Suffolk countryside and all the areas of interest that it has to offer. We are nestled in the country yet only a few minutes from Woodbridge, well known for its restaurants and bars, and with easy reach of the county's heritage coastline from Southwold to Aldeburgh to Orford.
On arrival there is a welcome book with notes and advice with plenty of history and suggestions for the local area.
We have a six person barrel sauna for use when requested, its takes an hour or so to warm up.
We have dog fees for extra deep cleaning at £6 per dog per day, please request before arrival.
Each house comes with a standard size BBQ.

We rented two properties - it was perfect for our 11 guests & dogs. The weather was great for mid Oct. The owners were very laid back allowing us to make the most of the facilities & informed us about the lovely walks. We had no plans for the weekend, we just wanted relaxing time to enjoy the company of friends & family, celebrate a special birthday with delicious food & drink

We had a fabulous week at Partridge Lodge. Our accommodation was clean, spacious and quirky and it had everything we needed. Sarah, our host was friendly, helpful and a joy to meet. The grounds were fantastic and the location is superb, with so many places to see and lovely beaches nearby. We highly recommend Partridge Lodge and we will be back!

Extension of family holiday
Moved into the Granary after renting the whole site for celebrating a birthday. Glad to have stayed on and now have had the experience of staying in three of the four homes on site over the last couple of years. The Granary was perfect for us. I would recommend staying at any of the properties at Partridge Lodge.

Great overflow space for our large group.
Convenient space in the same vicinity as our other accommodation to extend our party numbers. Traditional barn conversion for a family to use. Great outdoor space too.

Excellent for young families
We had a lovely time staying at The Granary. The house was very clean, comfortable and spacious. It had all the equipment you could need for our baby so we didn't have to bring all that stuff with us. It also had tons of kids books and toys. The setting is beautiful and quiet with lovely walks and easy drives to towns like Aldeburgh and Woodbridge. We had a brilliant time and will definitely plan to come back!

Wonderful short break
My wife and I have just had a short break at the lovely Granary Cottage. The cottage was full of character with the exposed woodwork and all the facilities were first class. A very restful and enjoyable break.

An ideal family accommodation.
We usually stay in the Stables which is perfect for two people and it has a king-sized bed. We stayed in the Granary as the Stables was unavailable this time. It is lovely and would be ideal for a family stay. I missed the larger bed as I am over six foot!

A wonderful stay in The Granary at Partridge Lodge
We spent a marvellous week in The Granary. Our hosts Sarah and Aaron couldn’t be more welcoming. Sarah had arranged for a delicious Thai meal to be waiting for us in the fridge when we arrived. The Granary was comfortable, had all mod cons and extremely peaceful.
The setting is outstanding and perfect for families. We loved the tennis court and to be able to use it at any time. The Granary is set in pretty grounds with lots of accessible walks for families and four legged friends.
Great location and things to do in and around Partridge Lodge as well as a hub to explore Suffolk.
Highly recommend and we’ll be back.

Half term break
He have stayed at Partridge lodge before but not at the Granary. It was a great fit for two adults and two children. The place feels comfortable and manages to capture homely. You have a wonderful view of the lake, and even though there are other people staying at the lodge in other accommodations, it still felt private. Kids loved the grounds, and the tennis courts. Without fail you have a warm welcome from Sarah and Aaran. We will be back.

Lovely rural stay
We loved The Granary especially having the use of tennis courts and the sauna. Beautiful countryside and plenty to keep children occupied as well. Aaron and Sarah were great hosts and couldn't have been friendlier!

Beautiful place to stay with children.
We had a wonderful, if short, break at the Granary, just before Christmas. The property has been so thoughtfully laid out for families, with a fantastic open plan space, and plenty of toys, and it was so wonderful and welcoming to also have a Christmas tree waiting for us, all lit up. Magical and relaxing for us all.
Thank you so much!

enjoyable stay in rural suffolk
Really enjoyed our stay. The property was lovely but we think there are some areas both in the property and outside that could do with some refurbishment

Welcoming break
This was our second stay, having stayed last year and liked it so much that we returned again. Good facilities at the accommodation, and with lots of open space to explore. The local area has so much to offer- we only did about half of it last year, which is why we came back! Contact from the owners was first class- we had to reschedule due to lockdown, and we managed to move the booking to the end of July- they did this very happily and at no extra cost. Very happy with the whole experience.

Perfect break
Very nice property in a good location. There are three other houses in the compound, but it didn’t feel cramped. There’s lots to do at the house and grounds, and it’s a good base for getting to all the local towns. Very strongly considering booking for next year.

Partridge Lodge. What a stay
We struck gold with this place. It was everything we needed with a million wonderful bonuses.
Arriving at Partridge Lodge we were surrounded by beautiful views. A lake, tennis courts, steam Lodge, chickens who would soon become our egg bearing pals.
Sarah and Arran the hosts were so welcoming and warm, they passed on great exploring tips and were super accommodating.
The property itself was perfectly sized, clean, so well equipped that as a parent the only thing I needed to bring was my child.
It was relaxing. It was comfortable.
I had two nights of great sleep and seeing the lake from my bed was a bonus.
Would I return? In a heartbeat.

Tranquil cottage ideal for a family get-away.
We really enjoyed staying at the Granary for the tenth or eleventh time. We keep coming back as it provides such a good break for the whole family. The cottage looks out onto a pond (well-fenced) and there is always something to see - this time we spotted fish, rabbits and lots of birds. There was also a goose sitting on her eggs. The girls love wandering around the farm and the nearby fields. We did lots of walks in Rendlesham Forest and at the coast. The surrounding area is very interesting with loads of footpaths and good picnic spots. A favourite is the Rendlesham Forest visitor centre with its adventure playground and woodland sculpture trail. Sarah and Aaran are so hospitable and friendly and always make us feel very welcome.

Christmas break - long weekend
We had a great time at The Granary - my husband and I and our two grown up children. It was comfortable and clean, and we were able to get a supermarket delivery on our arrival. Beautiful location in the countryside, with good roads for running (if you are a runner!) and a tennis court too (even got a game in December!). Great pubs and little villages nearby - it was a very convenient and pretty place to stay!

Peaceful, lovely surroundings and lots to keep the children happy.
It was just perfect.
Such stunning peaceful surroundings, thoughtfully laid out and safe spaces for my two young children to wander round and explore. We loved checking in on the hens, playing tennis in the courts in the grounds and fishing in the pond.
Fun days out at Banham Zoo, Easton Farm, Framlington Castle, shopping in the local farm shops and lazy evenings on the veranda were just what we needed. Plus the umpteen toys and Sky movies for the kids were very welcome!

A nice stay in the Granary
Our family of 4 stayed in the Granary which has kept is original timber frame and is quite stunning. It has all the needed amenities. Clearly, much thought has been put to make the stay of guests very comfortable in the house, but also outside. One week was not enough to try all the possibilities of the grounds. Thank you Sarah and Aaran !

Our Stay at the The Granary, Partridge Lodge, Suffolk
We had a wonderful stay at the Granary. The accommodation has everything that you need for your stay. It was both comfortable and clean and the owners are on hand should you need any help or advice. We used the tennis courts every day with the children. The is so much to do and see around this area. The beaches, castles and walks.

We had a great time! The location is excellent with so many child-friendly things to do close by. We loved the grounds too, especially the pond for fishing! The Granary was really comfortable with everything we needed. Fantastic hospitality from the owners too.

Another fantastic stay at Partridge Lodge
This is the third summer that we have stayed at Partridge Lodge and have had another fantastic holiday. The property is ideally situated & as always very clean and comfortable. Aaran and Sarah are the perfect hosts, very friendly, close enough to sort out any problems or give recommendations but not intrusive at all. The grounds are beautifully kept with chickens for breakfast eggs and a boathouse for crabbing gear, tennis rackets etc. A wonderful holiday and we will be back.......

We love coming back here
We have been coming back here for several years now because Sarah and Aaron are so friendly and welcoming, the Granary cottage is so comfortable, and there is so much for our children (aged 2 and 6) to do at Partridge Lodge and the surrounding area, which we love.

The Granary
It has been great staying at the granary, friendly hosts and well equipped for babies. The ground is fantastic too if you just want to stay local. Excellent gastro pubs, farms and walks nearby.
The internet connection didn't quite work for us but if you want to be away from it all anyway, this is excellent.

Great spot for families and getting out of town
We stayed in the Granary in February, but the building is nice and warm with lots for kids to do. There are pleasant walking / running routes from the door and it's in a quiet location. The owners were away, but the lady looking after the hens was very friendly and gave us fresh eggs in the morning. There was some unexpected items in the kitchen to get us started for the stay, which was a very pleasant surprise and helped to make us feel very welcome. There was nothing about the property that I could complain about. It was obviously an old building with a few quirks we'll remember. I would definitely visit again.
My son particularly liked the sand pit, diggers, indoor toys, rabbit and hens! Paradise for a toddler.
