Buttercup Lodge

Lovely lodge in a quiet location perfectly positioned for visiting Aldeburgh, Southwold and beyond.

It had everything we needed and even some treats for our dog! The hosts are lovely and nothing is too much trouble.

One man and his dog had a very enjoyable week in this spacious and comfortable lodge.

We especially appreciated the quiet rural location and the attractive walking countryside nearby.

Very cosy, warm clean and comfortable.

Tranquil surroundings. Well located for exploring Walberswick, Southwold, Dunwich and all areas nearby. The church and pub in Theberton is lovely (food delicious) and the people (including the hosts) are really friendly and welcoming. Would happily stay there again.

A fantastic base to explore Suffolk.

Buttercup Lodge was so clean, comfy and well equipped - we loved it and hope to stay again

Perfect countryside getaway.

The lodge had everything we needed and was nice and secluded, giving us a great base to explore Suffolk. Great for a couple or small family.

Perfect for our holidY

Great stay.

We were at the festival so didn't stay long in the lodge but had everything we needed

A lovely lodge, well-situated for nearby attractions.

Small, but neat and very pet friendly with the fenced garden. We have enjoyed 4 visits.

We had a wonderful stay at buttercup lodge Marina is the perfect host and the lodge is equipped for staying in and cooking or in such a good location to explore Suffolk.

The children loved the bunk beds and the dog loved exploring the garden. We were even lucky enough to do some star gazing and saw the Milky Way

Delightful lodge and very comfortable.

Couldn't fault anything. Ideal base for coast and countryside.

Lovely base camp for walks with dog & day trips out

Small but very well equipped and appointed.

Enclosed garden very good for the dog and for sitting in the sun in the quiet. Didn’t use the laundry but very good idea and washing line for when you’ve been for a swim. Hosts very friendly and helpful , Plenty of parking for when visitors come.

just returned from a lovely few days at buttercup lodge.

. such lovely accommodation and peaceful suuroundings. Would 100% recommend.. there is plenty to do in the area and never too far from lovely beaches such as Southwold, Thorpeness and Aldeburgh.. definitely worth a visit!!..

Excellent accommodation in a good location.

I very much enjoyed the quiet of the countryside but still so near to the beautiful Suffolk coast. The Lodge is small so I think a family of 4 would struggle. There isn't much room to store clothes. But ideal for 1 or 2. The kitchen is well equipped and I appreciated the milk and biscuits, tea and coffee. The weather was amazing and I was able to use the veranda a lot of the time I was there. I loved watching the buzzards. Thank you Marina for a good few days.

Lovely experience from start to finish.

Beautiful location, very discreet and the owners even went out of their way to provide us with a few extra welcome bits. Fantastic experience all round and we cannot wait to come back to the lodge again next year.

Great week.

Lodge was superb, good location for many of the Suffolk beaches. Nice and peaceful. Only observation was operating the Tv ( for the football) I found impossible , but we had our iPads ! On the whole would recommend the lodge and we will be back.

Have stayed here before and have been looking forward to returning.

Everything as it was before. Lovely lodge, clean and comfortable. Up a very quiet lane and close to Minsmere. Marina and Phil friendly and helpful as ever. superb break.

We had a wonderful stay!

The cottage was so cosy but had all the facilities you could want. The secure garden was perfect for Freddie the dog and the place was so well situated to explore the beautiful countryside.

Really enjoyed our stay.

My daughter loved the bunk beds and the location was spot on of for enjoying nature and peace and quiet. Only thing we were missing was that we could have done with a bread knife. Hoping to stay again with you soon.

We thought this was a fantastic lodge and we really enjoyed our stay here.

We found the lodge was every that was listed and was really cosy and comfortable. The heating was on when we arrived which was fantastic as it had been a really cold day. The beds were really comfortable and I had a couple of really good night's sleep. The bathroom had a really, really good shower as well, which was really appreciated. The lodge is in very pleasant surroundings just off a very quite road. On the bird feeders and in the surrounding fields we saw a lot of different wildlife, including green woodpeckers, greater spotted woodpeckers, tree creepers, buzzards, an array of tits and a tawny owl (heard only). The lodge is in a really good location that's easy to get to and within an easy drive of a lot of what the region has to offer, such as Aldeburgh, Southwold, RSPB Minsmere, and Sutton Hoo to name a few. Saxmundham and Leiston have plenty of amenities if you need to stop up on any shopping to take back to the hut where there is the facility to cook up any reasonable sized dinner. Theberton itself is a quiet and charming village. There is a really decent playpark in the village that was ideal for our little one. One criticism I have is that the listing (currently) really understates how good the pub is. It's a cracking pub, with lots of decor that shows off the local history and you can find in the Good Beer Guide at the time of writing. The staff and locals were really friendly and there is a good range of home cooked food and they catered for the little one. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay here and if you are interested in visiting this part of Suffolk with a small family and are looking for a cosy and comfortable lodge within a good driving distance of many local sights then I would highly recommend this place.

Very cosy lodge and despite on the day booking property was clean and welcoming complete with fresh milk and biscuits waiting for our arrival.

Had everything we needed including towels and very well equipped with crockery and cooking utensils etc. Comfortable sofa and dining area with decent size tv and good choice of channels. Decent sized and well fenced garden for our large labradoodle, which he enjoyed playing ball in and loved the bag of treats kindly left for him. Good easy parking. Warm and cosy lodge and will definitely visit again. Helpful literature on local attractions and easy to travel to attractions like Dunwich Heath and Sizewell beach. Only very minor negative, could do with something like an airer in laundry room to dry wet clothes on as limited drying area in lodge for soggy jackets etc although we did get caught in storm Henk so rather extreme rain. Can't wait to return. Owners very friendly and helpful.

We were generally pleased with the property but found bathroom small and toilet close to wall and only sported a very small hand basin.

Had a lovely time so peaceful and comfortable, the owners where the perfect hosts and were able to help quickly when we needed some help with the shower, my husbands EarPod case was accidentally left behind and they sent it back to us which was much appreciated, we would stay here again if we come back to this area

Lovely lodge , our 2nd stay there … very easy to have our dogs there , all mod cons ideal base camp to have days out at nearby places ie southwold & aldeburgh

We had a lovely time in the lodge.

Small and compact and comfortable. Sofa not very comfortable though. Dog loved his stay. Would loved to come again. Would recommend to others. Lovely area for walks or cycling.

Really nice lodge - great location for visiting the Minsmere RSPB reserve.

Private seating area at the side of the lodge, which was so peaceful. Very friendly owner and the biscuits were very welcome after a 250 mile drive! Highly recommend.

Lovely place I would definitely stay again and recommend friends too

basic items on site, towels included, washing machine available if required.

meet owner , very friendly and helpful. dog friendly, we enjoyed the peace and quiet. lots of places to visit not far away.

My second visit to Buttercup but I also stayed in Clover too.

My only wish would be to have a grab rail in the wet room as a disabled lady I'm unsteady on my feet so a grab rail would help. Other than that the lodge is perfect, down to the cookies and bottle of milk. Thank you....

This was our second stay at Buttercup Lodge and we enjoyed it even more than the first time.

The lodge is comfortable and has everything you need, Sally (the dog) loved being able to potter around the fenced in garden. The location is brillant for exploring the Suffolk coast and we’ll be back again to see more of the area. Thank you for another lovely holiday.

This is one of two beautiful lodges set off a quiet country road.

The lodge was well designed beautifully made and tastefully furnished (without the frou frou and ornaments found in many cottages). Everything was thoughtfully supplied, including milk tea and biscuits on arrival. The lodge is quite new and is well looked after by the friendly owners. It was ideal for my visits to Minsmere, Westleton and Dunwich. I have no negative comments and will be visiting again.

The lodge was perfect for a short stay, and very conveniently situated for access to beauty spots on the Suffolk coast, without being on a main road.

A very peaceful setting. We will use it again when we want a Suffolk break. Also, dog-friendliness was over and above - nice to see!

Our second stay at Buttercup lodge.

The host was very helpful and went the extra mile to help us with a problem on our first morning. Highly recommend the lodge

We enjoyed our week in Buttercup Lodge.

The lodge was warm, clean and comfortable for the two of us, and well situated for the Suffolk coast as well as other destinations. We enjoyed the peace and quiet of the location, and any comings and goings from the lodge next door didn’t disturb us at all. The few niggles we felt involved the very small basin in the bathroom, the shower curtain not reaching the floor (making the floor wetter than it needed to be) and the mattress being on the firm side, though we did get used to it. All first world problems, and not deal breakers for a week away in a cosy property that provided us with a good value holiday. The kitchen was well-equipped, the towels were soft, TV and broadband worked well, and the heating was great. Having the spare bedroom gave us plenty of storage space.

This our second visit, we were just as happy as we were last time.

Our hosts were very helpful and welcoming, the welcome pack was great. We will certainly be visiting again.

Beautiful location, very clean and comfortable.

Thank you

This property was lovely absolutely fantastically situated to where we wanted to be.

Garden was lovely for the dog. Enjoyed everything about the property. Was clean and tidy the only thing I would say would be to get the cleaners to check cupboards and drawers cutlery and cups and glasses were a little bit dirty had to wash them before we used them but that's been really picky would definitely stay here again and we'll probably going to book it again for next year.

All was fine and would recommend Buttercup.

More local info (walks, places to visit) and general reading books would have been nice but this may reflect the newness of the property. The fenced garden area was super.

A lovely and peaceful place to stay.

Very well located for the Suffolk AONB. Good for families, dogs or a peaceful individual or couple.

We were very comfortable for a short stay.

In our opinion the dining room table was over large for our needs but the overall design was excellent.We only have a small dog but felt that you might struggle with a larger dog. The hosts left doggie treats and milk and biscuits which was a lovely thought. We would definitely love to return to the Lodge as Suffolk was a wonderful area to explore.

This is a very pleasant property in a rural location.

It will adequately accommodate four adults and has sufficient facilities for an enjoyable stay. The size of the building precludes some facilities, such as a dishwasher and there is a shower, but no bath. There is ample patio and garden furniture to enjoy any good weather. We would come again.

Lovely little cabin.

Very quiet without being isolated. Nice, clean and comfy. Pros: Quiet, enclosed garden, great shower, close to some nice walks, clean, well equipped. Dog friendly, dog treats with towel, fleece for furniture and towel for paws! Cons: Because close to farm, lots of flies so be careful if leaving windows open, shower doesn't drain quickly enough (damp clothes), be good to have an electric fan for hot weather. Fire exit lights quite bright but can't be helped - maybe take eye mask. I really enjoyed my short stay. Was comforting knowing my dog (Greyhound) could go in the garden for a good sniff. Had a quick trip to Dunwich Marshes for a looong walk. Bliss. I always put the key back into the key safe so I didn't lose it. It is a small cabin but as it was just me & Micky it was plenty big enough. Lots of power sockets including some USB points. Well thought out accommodation.

Beautiful lodge, very clean and well equipped.

Very rural for the peaceful relaxing stay, 10 minutes walk to the local pub and 20 minutes drive to some lovely towns on the coast at Aldebrugh and Southwold.

The property was very new and made with top quality materials and as pictured in the brochure, however i found the layout of the rooms strange.

The exits to the garden is from and through the bedrooms!. The grass had been very recently cut hence cuttings from the rear garden are constantly being deposited on the bedroom floor. Also the property is dog friendly, not all dogs are small, mine is certainly not and the bedrooms are quite bijou, she could not go through without rubbing against the bed plus lots of grass clippings on the return journey. We had to cover the side of the bed to prevent hair being deposited on the bed. Clearing up was difficult because there was only a broom and dustpan, there was no hoover. It was stated to be wheelchair friendly, I have pushed wheelchairs for a living for the past ten years and my wife sometimes has to use one, pea shingle is the hardest medium to push a wheelchair through so getting from the car to the ramp would not be easy. Doors were great but a wheelchair in either of the bedrooms would be challenging. Delightful lodge but different

Lovely accommodation.

Really great stay, spotlessly clean and very dog friendly.

Perfect location too, thank you

A beautiful and clean lodge, in an excellent and quiet location.

Buttercup Lodge was wonderfully warm and welcoming with lots of little touches to make all of us (humans and dog!

) feel at home straightaway. The location was tranquil with plenty of outside space to enjoy nature. The nearby public footpath was ideal for walking the dog.
