Customer Reviews
I cannot fault this accommodation. This is a very cosy retreat for two and in a great location for visiting all the popular tourist areas. The accommodation itself is to a high standard and very clean. The log burner is especially welcoming on chilly evenings. You also get the sun all day in the garden area, which is a bonus. Highly recommended.

The cabin is very cosy and ideally placed between Thorpeness and Aldeburgh.

Amazing property and location. Such a fantastic property in an amazing location (less than a few minutes walk to the beach). We absolutely loved our stay and hope to be back again in the future. Everything from booking to arrival and beyond was well managed and the hosts were extremely welcoming. We had the perfect stay.

An absolute gem of a place for a very relaxing couple of days to get away from it all. Just a 1 minute walk to the beach, 5 minute walk to the Meare and 10 minutes to the Dolphin pub.

Mission Lodge is ‘small but perfectly formed’ , and equipped with everything you need for a short break . Loved the outside patio area through bifold doors from both main rooms Very quiet spot and just yards from the sea ( over the hump) . Easy walk into Aldeburgh , and we were blessed with great weather . Would highly recommend this property

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Mission Lodge. We cannot fault the property at all. It was modern, spotlessly clean and very comfortable. Perfectly situated near to the beach and village with great walks along the beach to Aldeburgh and Sizewell and surrounding countryside. The Dolphin Pub and Kitchen provide great food. Thorpeness is perfect for a short break and stay at Mission Lodge is a must.
Rosemarie – May 2024
Perfect weekend away for 2, lovely cosy lodge with log burner which we enjoyed. Bed was super comfy, everything felt recently built so bathroom and kitchen was well furnished and really clean! We had a slight issue with the power cutting out but they did resolve this relatively quickly. Lovely walks into Thorpeness and Aldeburgh, overall thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend.

What a wonderful cottage, it had everything a couple could want. It was spotlessly clean,warm and decorated to a high standard. The owners were friendly and very helpful. I would definitely stay again.
Moira – Oct 2023
A fabulous Scandinavian style cabin which was perfect as a short break in Thorpeness for my wife and I. It was well equipped and felt brand new. Just a minutes walk to the beach and wonderful restaurants nearby. We even managed to take a rowing boat out onto the lake. Definitely recommended for a couple wanting a peaceful break by the sea, with plenty to do nearby.
Steve – Oct 2023
Great to be so close to the sea and hear it, if not see it. Traffic can be heard but not loudly and evenings are very quiet. Everything you need for 2 people and nice safe parking too. Place is very private and looks brand new. Nice walk into Aldeburgh. Good pub and cafes close by. Boating lake is lovely to sit next to. Would recommend.
