About Partridge Lodge
In 2007 my wife, Sarah and I moved out of London, bought an old run down dairy farm and set about renovating it into a rural retreat for guests the following year. This has, and continues to be a family project and our four boys have helped right the way through with innovative ideas, giving us a valuable kids perspective on what real spaces should be.
Our holiday lets are secluded enough to feel freedom and the grounds relaxed enough to have a wander and take in all the wild life, including owls, woodpeckers, kingfishers and deer that inhabit our surroundings. We also have our own fair share of "wonders" from the tree fort, tennis court and football area, to our boat house and fishing pond.
The Boathouse
Inside, you'll discover a variety of items, ranging from foosball tables and fishing gear to wood kindling.
Things to do in a beautiful location
Slightly further afield there are stunning walks through the footpaths from Partridge Lodge which, in one direction, will guide you to the beautiful Boulge Estate where lies, in a quiet secluded churchyard, Mr Edward Fitzgerald (translator of Omar Khayyam). Stroll in the opposite direction, and you'll find yourself in the heart of Bredfield village, home to the Village Shop and a children's playground tucked away towards the back, waiting to be explored.
We continue to build and share our now sizeable local knowledge of historic and fun things to do.
We'll happily offer restaurant recommendations (which we'll book on your behalf if you like), from Bawdsey Quay to Sutton Hoo to Orford to Aldeburgh to Southwold to Thorpeness to Friday Street Farm Shop to The Farm Cafe to the charm of Woodbridge itself, there is so much life and these are only some of our favourite places.
