Upthorpe Lodges
With a stay at Upthorpe Lodges, you can do as much or as little as you want during your stay.

If you fancy exploring the surround Suffolk countryside, there are numerous footpaths and bridleways leading off from the lodges, plus there are bicycles available to hire for those wishing to head a little further and visit the nearby villages.

When it's cold outside, where better to spend a few days with your other half than in the grounds of the historic and stunning West Stow Hall, a Grade 1 listed Tutor home.
There's a range of accommodation on offer for you to choose from; with two holiday cottages within the grounds and a studio apartment in the garden. Perfect for a couples retreat, it's light and airy with lovely views of the Hall, a large open plan living area with wood burning stove, bed settee, and kitchen - the ideal place to get away from it all this winter!
