Maple Lodge is ideal for couples and families who want comfort without fuss and fripperies. The static caravan is part of Steadings Park which sits on 20 private acres of glorious Suffolk countryside which includes a carp fishing lake and is available all year round thanks to central heating and double glazing. It sleeps four people in two bedrooms with ease and boasts a private garden with an outdoor hot tub. As an added benefit, the friendly Fox Inn pub is only a short walk away, offering tasty meals in a welcoming environment if you choose not to cook.
The location of Maple Lodge just outside of Newbourne village is perfect. Not only are there fantastic countryside walks leaving virtually from the front door but the vibrant town country town of Ipswich is only a 15-minute drive away, as are the seaside delights of Felixstowe. Your holiday itinerary can include leisurely strolls through the country, fish and chips on the beach, shopping and a trip to the cinema, or all of the above. Not only does Steadings Park have a private fishing lake but the Orwell and Deben Rivers are close by, giving anglers and sailors even more opportunity to spend time on or by the water.
Woodbridge is on the River Deben just a short drive or relaxed cycle from Maple Lodge. It is an excellent place to stock up for your self-catering holiday in Suffolk, with alternative villages including Waldringfield and Martlesham. Slightly further afield, Ipswich is only 11 miles from Steadings Park and lays claim to fame as one of the most ancient and continuously inhabited towns in Britain. As well as shops, cafes and restaurants, the lively town also has museums and a marina and is a fantastic place to spend a few hours browsing.
You will not struggle to fill your time while on holiday at Maple Lodge, although with such a serene setting, we wouldn't blame you for setting aside a day or two to sit on the deck with a good book! Try your hand crabbing at Bawdsey, or open your eyes to the past at Sutton Hoo, the Aviation Museum at Martlesham, Framlingham Castle or Orford Castle. The Newbourne Springs Nature Reserve adjoins Steadings Park, with the marsh, fen and woodland being home to nuthatches and woodpeckers, among other birds and wildlife, and animal lovers can see the horses at the Suffolk Punch Museum and the rare breeds at Jimmy's Farm.
At the end of a long day full of fun and adventure, you can settle back in the steaming hot tub with a glass of wine and enjoy stargazing in a night sky that is unaffected by light pollution, with nothing louder than the odd owl to disturb the peace.
