Stour Lodge is a dog friendly holiday cottage.
Share an unforgettable getaway with your loved ones together at this chic Scandinavian-style lodge sitting on a smart complex of properties in the heart of Constable Country. Sleeping four people across two bedrooms, this stylish retreat is an idyllic hideaway for small families or groups of friends who are yearning to make memories together while they discover the serene charms of the Dedham Vale National Landscape. Spend a leisurely afternoon taking a stroll through the 20-acre garden and arboretum at East Bergholt Place, which features an impressive collection of rare plants and trees. In the evening, come home to your lodge’s garden to take a dip in the hot tub as the stars come out. Park up your car (there’s room for two vehicles) and step inside your lodge and you’ll discover a light and bright, open-plan lounge/kitchen/dining area with a chic wood burner in pride of place. Take a moment to relax on the plush sofa and soak up the sleek Scandi-styling, before heading to the kitchen area to rustle up some dinner for your loved ones. Get everyone together to eat at the four-seater dining table, which boasts beautiful garden views through the floor-to-ceiling bi-fold doors. Alternatively, head out onto the lovely terrace in the partly-enclosed garden to share a fun alfresco dinner. Afterwards, take a relaxing dip in the outdoor hot tub, or head in to the lounge area to warm your toes by the wood burner while you catch up on your favourite TV show. When it’s time for bed, there are two beautifully styled bedrooms to choose from – a stylish double master suite, and a flexible twin room that can be converted to a king-size upon request. Completing the layout, you’ll find an elegant family bathroom with a bath and a separate shower. Grab your walking gear and make a beeline for Highwoods Country Park (10 miles). Take a stroll along the woodland trails and you’re sure to spot some of the park’s 70 species of birds and 25 species of butterflies. Or head to Colchester Castle Museum (11.5 miles), which boasts the largest Norman keep in Europe. Check out the fascinating Roman artifacts and medieval displays in the museum.
