Walk the walls of a 12th-century castle and trace 800 years of history, from Norman earls to a Tudor queen.

A Grade I listed tide mill on the Suffolk riverside where the water wheel still turns and grinds flour.
Woodbridge Tide Mill is a rare tide mill that still grinds wholemeal flour, with a huge oak water wheel that you can often see turning. A mill has stood on this riverside site since medieval times, and the white-boarded building you visit today is Grade I listed. The mill itself is the exhibit, so you get a close look at the machinery as you go.
Tip: There's no parking at the mill itself, so use one of the pay and display car parks in Woodbridge, or walk from the station. Check the wheel turning times calendar before you go.

A 12th-century royal keep of unique design, with views over Orford Ness on the Suffolk coast.
Orford Castle is a 12th-century castle in Suffolk, built by Henry II between 1165 and 1173 to strengthen royal power in the region. Its keep is the main draw. Historian R. Allen Brown called it "one of the most remarkable keeps in England", and its design is unique, possibly inspired by Byzantine architecture.

The lodge was stunning and perfectly situated. Everything was super clean and the hosts really went above and beyond with a lovely welcome pack, including tasty homemade bread. Loved it!
We had a lovely few days at the Sunrise VIP lodge. The weather was a bit dull, but honestly, it didnt matter. The Scandinavian design and cosy vibe really helped us unwind! Excellent stay!

Perfect spot for unwinding and enjoying nature.

Such a peaceful retreat, wed definitely come back again someday!
Had a lovely week at the lodge, the weather was gorgeous! Would definitely stay longer next time.
My partner and I recently celebrated our honeymoon here and honestly, it was just perfect. The setting is so serene, with stunning views that make you really feel away from it all. With only two lodges on site, its super private, which meant we could just unwind and enjoy each others company. We spent our evenings soaking in the hot tub, watching hares and rabbits dart around outside - such a lovely touch. The staff were really friendly and couldnt have been more helpful. The lodge itself was gorgeous, especially the comfy bed which made it hard to get up in the mornings! Were already talking about coming back, maybe even moving closer to Laxfield because that area is just so beautiful. Definitely recommend if you need a proper escape from busy life!
Great spot to unwind after work
Really enjoyed our stay, staff made it feel welcoming and relaxed.

We absolutely loved our stay here! The lodge was cosy, with breathtaking scenery. Super peaceful and well looked after, definitely recommend!
We recently enjoyed a lovely long weekend here. The location is perfect for peaceful walks and totally relaxing. The cabin was spotless and super comfy. Only thing wed suggest is updating the TV - it was a bit awkward and slow to operate, but overall, a great stay!
Really enjoyed our stay, the place was fantastic!
Always a lovely experience, welcoming staff and a calming atmosphere. Can't recommend enough!
Really enjoyed our stay, lovely staff and a cosy, welcoming atmosphere.
We booked a quick weekend escape and honestly, it was a fantastic deal! The views were absolutely stunning and the hot tub was such a bonus. The lodge was spotless and comfy. Taking our dog along was a real treat-he loved exploring the countryside. Definitely planning to return soon!
The location was perfect for us, with lovely walks and charming pubs nearby. The log cabin and hot tub were spot on, making it a truly relaxing escape. Loved it!
Great, would recommend
Really enjoyed our stay, the lodge exceeded all expectations!
Gary was very friendly and helpful, always there if we needed anything. Lovely touch with the homemade bread, and some essentials left in the fridge like jam, butter, and milk. Nice coffee machine with coffee pods and tea left for us. Lovely hot tub and lodge was really nicely furnished. Would definitely like to come back.
If you are seeking a break from routine and time to unwind in beautiful scenery then Laxfield Lodges offers a great escape for sure
Fantastic location for peace and tranquillity, only 2 lodges in the property, great couple of local pubs 5 mins away. Would recommend.
Beautifully situated in a large field with only one other lodge nearby. Quiet and tranquil surroundings. Local shop and pub amenities only one mile away. We had a fantastic calm weekend. Will definitely return.
Lovely place in a beautiful party of the country
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will be back
Very quiet and relaxing site. Owners live on site and we’re very helpful if asked for anything. On arrival we had homemade bread and other goodies left for us.
A really lovely, well equipped lodge in beautiful surroundings. Loved the home-made bread and all the welcoming treats including the Cider! Very friendly and helpful owners who made our stay very comfortable. The lodge was a nice size and we all loved the hot tub. Great location as a base for visits to Southwold, Aldeburgh, Woodbridge etc. We also had a lovely meal at the Low House (Kings Head) in Laxfield. We would have loved one more night as two nights were just not enough but would love to go back.
The site is very secluded and quite , clean tidy and peaceful . If you want a country retreat this is just the place to go
Comfortable, spacious, well equipped and clean lodges. In a central location to explore the area. Very helpful and friendly owner
Wow what a lovely lodge this is VERY clean and the owners were very cheerful and kind the hot tub was loved by all 3 of us and checked daily inside the Sunset VIP looked amazing and just what we needed not one complaint or anything wrong.
Lovely place, very clean, the little touches like the milk, homemade bread and cider were fantastic and greatly appreciated! Only feedback I would give is that the veranda around the lodge is not enclosed so can be a bit of a pain if you have young children or a dog.
Lovely lodge, owner friendly and helpful, hot tub lovely as the surroundings, our only disappointment was the decking isn’t gated which meant we couldn’t have our dog ? off the lead whilst in hot tub as he would run off into the horse field but overall lovely lodge and one you could easily live in as had all you needed in it
Beautiful lodge in a beautiful location! Our break at Laxfield Lodges couldn't of been more perfect. The Lodge was impeccably clean and had absolutely everything you could ever need and more. The staff were super helpful and accomodating. We highly recommend and will definitely be back! Many thanks for an amazing break!
