Skylarks
Description
Bury St Edmunds 2.9 miles.
Nestled in a secluded area in the popular Aspen Park in Fornham St. Genevieve, Suffolk, is this spacious two bedroom lodge, Skylarks.
Enjoying a superb location just moments away from the historic Bury St Edmunds and offering fabulous views out over the surrounding parkland, Skylarks is a fantastic dwelling for couples or a family of four embarking on their next adventure to Suffolk.
Park up in one of two off road parking spaces, before stepping onto the large, enclosed decking with table and cushioned seating, ideal for those warmer days when you want to dine alfresco, and a Hydropool Serenity hot tub with adjustable temperature, jets and lighting which are optional, providing a relaxing sanctuary to return to after a day of exploring.
Be welcomed into the light and airy open plan living space, fully equipped and featuring plush seating, here you can whip up delicious meals in the immaculate fully fitted kitchen, with dishwasher, washer/dryer, Nespresso coffee machine and wine chiller, ready to enjoy at the breakfast bar or dining table for six.
After dinner, why not enjoy a leisurely walk through the parkland, where deer and hare are frequently spotted?
Upon your return, fire up the woodburning effect heater and select a family favourite from the Smart TV as you unwind on the sofa.
When sleep calls, choose from two well appointed bedrooms, a super king-size with en-suite shower room and a twin with Jack-and-Jill access to a gleaming bathroom.
Explore your local surroundings, where right on your doorstep you will find the Fornham cluster of villages, where you can experience East Anglian charm reflected in the eye catching flint and Suffolk pink buildings.
You don’t have to venture far to find amenities, where in the lovely village of Fornham All Saints, you will find Lucy’s Pizzeria and the welcoming Three Kings Pub, there is also the All Saints Golf and Country Club & Spa for those looking to test out their swing or enjoy a pamper, along with fishing nearby for the keen anglers in your party.
Just a short drive away is the bustling city of Bury St Edmunds, well known for its fascinating abbey ruins set within beautiful gardens.
There is plenty to see and do in the city, including the Theatre Royal, an excellent selection of museums, a golf club, outdoor markets, festivals, and a wealth of independent shops for you to peruse.
Continue onto Clare, home to a remarkable castle, country park and auction house, a lakeside golf course and Hermitage Fisheries.
Explore further where you will find Bressingham, with its Steam Museum & Gardens that allow you to step back in time, or head to Long Melford with its grand National Trust site of Melford Hall, along with Kentwell Hall and an expansive country park.
Be sure to visit mediaeval Lavenham, where you can visit a 15th century church and admire the half timbered historic cottages.
Time your visit right and get dressed up for a day at the races at Newmarket or venture over to Ely where you can marvel at the stunning stained glass windows featured on the grand cathedral.
All this and more awaits with a stay at Skylarks.

What guests are saying
Nice lodge with good facilities in a nice environment setting.
The owner needs to carry out maintenance on worn out basics. The two toilet seats both loose, no chain on bath plug so can't get it out from plug hole. Basin sink plug system kept jamming then jammed making sink unusable. Toilet flush kept jamming then broke all with no force normal use. Front door locked when it worked properly needs replacing worn out so security an issue. Things that should work and not have to worry about while staying in the property on holiday.
We have stayed at other lodges on this park and this is the best yet for quality and equipment.
Sadly, and it may have been down to the hot, dry season but there was a very strong odour from the septic facilities wafting across the deck all week which was most unpleasant and stopped us spending more time outdoors. The hot tub seemed a bit worn and could have done with a good wash over as both tub and cover quite dusty and headrest kept falling off. Inside was all very clean and comfortable (a broom would be good to have). The twin room was not the most practical as it had a door or window on each wall meaning you couldn't have bedside table(s) OK for kids but not so good for adults. We noted a few points for the maintenance staff on departure like the extractor fan not working in the bathroom and the pop up waste sticking down, the front door lock difficult but otherwise a really nice lodge.
Nice quiet site, well maintained, very peaceful.
Lodge was well equipped and very comfortable.
