Gates lodge is a 19thC Grade 2 listed, 4 star luxury Suffolk self catering holiday lodge near Fressingfield Village ,Metfield and Cratfield. Sleeps up to 4. Ideal for couples and small families. Professionally converted in 2011 from the original Cart-Lodge and stable, it is detatched and situated in the grounds of a former 16th Century Farmhouse and Inn surrounded by thousands of acres of farmland, on a 40 acre common. The common is home to free-roaming horses mid May to mid October and SSSI designated.

The captivating views across fields stretch as far as the eye can see. Complimented by the distant sounds of Cockerels and local birds, this is one of England's rarest unspoilt holiday locations.

There are some fantastic things to see and do!

Gates Lodge is high quality with no expense spared in the conversion, retaining its original character with exposed oak beams.Naturally there are brand new furnishings throughout, and it's warm and bright.

 Our property has WC / electric shower room, traditional wood-burner, flat screen television, and the lounge is within wi-fi reach of Jolly Farmers. Your everyday needs can be sourced from local village shops.

The locally designed and built kitchen is fully equipped with Bosch cooker/hob, toaster, washing machine, and dishwasher. The wood burner is initially supplied with complimentary logs.

We are sorry but strictly no smoking inside Gates Lodge and no pets.

From Fressingfield Fox & Goose (on your right), go down the hill 100 yards to the War Memorial and right into Low Road signposted Cratfield.  Follow this road out of the village for 2 miles, past Yew Tree farm on the left and then see a post-box on the right at a T-junction and a Cattle-Grid. (Signposted Stradbroke to the right.) Go past this junction just 25 yards and our entrance is on the right.

Gates lodge has lovely secluded garden areas stocked with shrubs and trees. Relax and enjoy the atmosphere perhaps with a good book and a glass of wine.

The views both day and night are awesome and we are surrounded on all sides by meadow-land and fields. Delight at the sounds of the dawn and night-time chorus.
