Welcome!
Immerse yourself in an oasis of medieval history surrounded by 75 acres of private, pristine Suffolk countryside.
Letheringham Lodge was built in 1472 to watch and celebrate the deer hunt, today wild fallow deer simply graze and wander freely through our woodlands.
Whether you fancy swimming with your dog in the wild swimming pond, or lazing in a hammock in the woods, the magic of the estate remains as it always has - a private secluded retreat to immerse yourself in nature.
We invite you to come and stay in any or all of our professionally styled historic cottages each packed with character and comfort.
Simply choose between our 4 bed Guest House, our 3 bed Coach House, our 2 bed Rose Cottage or our 1 bed Swan Cottage.
Professionally styled interiors by a famous author
Kay Prestney, author of “A home for all seasons”, is a celebrated Suffolk Stylist who shares our passion for creating sustainable interiors using biophilic design principles and natural materials. She has helped us create comfortable, Scandi-chic, cottages luxuriously decorated with lush green plants.
Your every need has been meticulously thought through from exquisitely comfortable beds to easy-to-light wood-burners; from the comfort of fur clad sofas to soft woollen throws for outside dining.
Gourmet adventures from a renown local celebrity chef
As well as the cottages, we can arrange a private chef to cook for you. Maria Elia is a renown TV celebrity chef and cookery book writer whose experience in the legendary El Bulli kitchen inspired her innovative approaches in restaurants such as Coast (Stephen Terry’s trailblazing 1990s and 2000s restaurant), Delfina (a stalwart of Bermondsey Street, now one of London’s culinary meccas) and The Whitechapel Gallery Dining Room and Café (which received rave reviews, two AA Rosettes and a mention in the Michelin guide).
Her 2 person luxury BBQ is a must and includes lobster tails with exquisite dips!
