This season enjoy a tranquil stay in our luxury wooden lodges, all with heated family hot tubs available for year round use, including during the colder months. Windmill Lodges has highlighted just a few of the winter activities in the surrounding area, for the whole family to enjoy. Whether you are staying with us this year, or planning a break away with us next year, these activities are the best in Suffolk and should not be missed.

Aldeburgh

The Christmas lights will be switched on in Aldeburgh on Saturday 12th December, which will help put you in the Christmas spirit. Here there will be mulled wine, live music, mince pies and the shops will be open until late to help you get all your shopping done in time for Christmas. This festive evening will be completed with fireworks on the beach, and is sure to be a hugely popular event for families in the area. Aldeburgh is a 35 minute drive from our luxury lodges, and you and your family can enjoy a fantastic day out visiting the high street’s fascinating independent shops.

Snape Maltings

Father Christmas will arrive at Snape Maltings by boat at 2pm on Sunday 13th December, where you and the youngest family members can visit Santa in his grotto on land, and enjoy festive music while you wait. His grotto will be in House and Garden, and all charitable donations will go to support Macmillan Cancer Support. Within the Snape Maltings Concert Hall there will also be a performance of Alice in Wonderland, A Christmas Spectacular. This performance runs through from Friday 4th December to the Sunday 13th December, and is a family treat with the glitzy costumes and lively music.

Framlingham

While staying with us in our luxury winter lodges, you can enjoy a charming range of activities in Framlingham, which is just a ten minute drive away. The town’s shop windows will be transformed, and the market stalls will be open on Tuesdays and Saturdays, so you’ll have plenty of opportunity to stock up on winter delights. Several church services will be held in the town throughout the festive period, to celebrate the meaning of Christmas.

Beccles

Beccles is a quaint town with a gorgeous quayside where you can take a walk to discover the beautiful winter countryside. The Christmas lights in Beccles will be turned on from 5.30 pm, on the evening of Friday 27th November, with on-stage live music and fairground rides for your children to enjoy. Here, there will also be two reindeers for you to pose with, or if you prefer, you can join in with the Suffolk Samba as they cheer everyone up with their take on Brazilian music. For something more traditional you can visit the beautiful St Michael’s Church for carol singing.

Kentwell Hall

The Dickensian Christmas at Kentwell Hall is ideal for families with young children, as here they can learn about Victorian life while getting involved. The house will be prepared for Christmas, and you can enjoy homemade lunches and teas in the Stableyard Restaurant. You and your children can also be taught how to make Victorian style Christmas decorations, which may make the ideal winter gift. This is an all-day event, and is just over an hour’s drive, but makes for a lovely day out for all the family.

Woodbridge

At Woodbridge this year you can visit Santa at his grotto in Notcutts from Sunday 22nd November to Tuesday 22nd December, where Santa will be available from 11am until 4pm every day. Tickets, which can either be pre-booked through the Woodbridge Rotary Club or bought on the day, are £6.50 per child, which includes a present. All the money from this event will go to charity and will be shared between Riding for the Disabled (Hollesley branch) and the East Anglian Children’s Hospices.


Ickworth

Ickworth House is open all year round, and is transformed at Christmas to become a magical and festive place. Here they will be hosting Christmas pudding and mince pie workshops in their historic kitchen, alongside wreath and Christmas tree making workshops. They also have a greenery gathering walk where you can meet the locals and gather winter greenery, including ivy and holly, which you can then use at home to give your house a festive touch. Young children can experience a story telling session with Father Christmas, before having a singalong and receiving a gift made by the elves. They can also visit the basement here to find all the hidden gingerbread men.

Following in the Footsteps of Constable

If you are an art lover, staying in a beautiful log cabin in the Suffolk countryside is a fantastic way to unleash your creativity. If you are fascinated by the works of great British painters, why not spend a day following in the footsteps of the county’s most famous landscape artist, John Constable? From viewing original works by Constable, to visiting the hamlet of Flatford to discover the landscape which inspired his most famous paintings, ‘The Hay Wain’ and ‘The Mill Stream’, it is a great way to unwind. And, if you paint or draw it will leave you full of enthusiasm to re-create your own rural scenes.

Here, Windmill Lodges – an exclusive complex of four and five star luxury log cabins – gives a few ideas on how to spend a day in the trail of Constable.

Stay in Windmill Lodges’ log cabins and explore the scenery which inspired landscape artist John Constable.

Discover Famous Works by Constable 

An ideal first stop is Christchurch Mansion, Ipswich, which is a 35 minute car journey from Saxtead where Windmill Lodges’ exclusive complex is based. Christchurch Mansion, Christchurch Park, is home to the largest collection of Constable paintings outside London. Among the many masterpieces is ‘The Mill Stream’ which was recently cleaned to hail the 200th anniversary of the painting.  The cleaning uncovered the vivid colours of a kingfisher swooping through trees right in the centre of the piece.  The Wolsey Art Gallery (within the mansion) is open Tuesday to Sundays 10am to 5pm, closed Mondays. Entry to the mansion and art gallery is free.

Visit the Landscape that Inspired Constable

Flatford

After a morning at Christchurch Mansion, head to the stunning hamlet of Flatford (a 35 minute drive from Ipswich or a 43 minute drive from our country cabins), It’s where Constable produced some of his most well known works including ‘Boat Building’ and ‘The White Horse’, and the landscape has changed very little since Constable’s day.

Here, you can walk the pretty riverside trail and see Flatford Mill, owned by Constable’s father, Willy Lot’s Cottage, and the site of 'The Hay Wain’. Discover Bridge Cottage, which was tenanted out by Constable’s father, and where you can view a small but interesting exhibition about the artist’s life. Bridge Cottage can also be seen in a few of Constable’s paintings including ‘View on the Stour near Dedham’ (which features a glimpse of the roof of the cottage).

The attraction is open daily from 10.30 – 5pm spring to summer, and is closed Mondays and Tuesdays in winter, but do check the opening times in advance to avoid disappointment. There is a small charge for parking once you get there. And after your visit, you can round off your morning with a bite to eat at the tea room in Bridge Cottage, or hire a rowing boat on the river.

East Bergholt

This picturesque village, five minutes from Flatford, is the birthplace of Constable. (If you are feeling energetic you can walk or cycle there). Take a wander around the village to find the site of his birth, which is indicated by a plaque between the church, where Constable was christened and his parents and Willy Lot are buried, and the village shop. Not far from the church is Cemetery Lane, where a plaque marks the artist’s former studio. Then, why not enjoy a late lunch at of the excellent restaurants?

Dedham

Dedham is an eight minute drive from East Bergholt and is where Constable’s father owned the mill and Constable attended a day school after a short stint at a boarding school in Lavenham. There are some interesting independent shops to browse in, and you can view ‘The Ascension’, a Constable original, in the village church.

Finish your off day by a visit to the Art and Craft Centre, before taking the 45 minute drive back to the luxurious environment of your log cabin. And, in the evening you can cook up a culinary delight before taking a relaxing soak in the hot tub.

The Perfect Valentine’s Day Weekend

As Valentine's Day approaches, many couples will be longing to get away from it all and enjoy some romantic time together. If you are looking for ideas for short Suffolk breaks with your loved one, then Windmill Lodges are the answer, sited in one of the most beautiful and unspoilt areas of East Anglia.

This year February 14 falls on Saturday, offering the opportunity for a long weekend in a country location. Our idyllic rural accommodation near Woodbridge and Framlingham is the ideal location to unwind and spend time alone with your loved one, escaping all the strains and stresses of everyday life. 5 star log cabin holidays make the perfect romantic break, since each lodge has its own private hot tub, as well as a four-poster bed.

Short Suffolk Breaks – See our luxuriously-appointed holiday cabins.

Sweep Your Valentine off Their Feet
Although it is a tradition dating back to ancient times, St Valentine's Day has become more popular than ever in recent years. Couples of all ages exchange gifts and share a special meal, go out on a date, or enjoy a romantic short break. The focus on this celebration of love and romance is partly a reaction against the hectic pace of modern life, which can all too easily come between couples. Valentine's Day is a reminder for us all to spend quality time with our nearest and dearest and nurture our relationships.

St Valentine was a Roman saint in the 3rd century, and his special day is traditionally linked to Italy – but there is no need to travel abroad for your celebration, because you can find a special place to celebrate the occasion much nearer home.

Take a Romantic Stroll or a Boat Trip
The Suffolk countryside is full of wonderful landscapes to discover at any time of year. But in some ways this area is even more special during the winter months, when you can explore away from the crowds. One of the most romantic spots to visit is Framlingham Castle, which is open at weekends during February. Hold hands with your loved one as you discover the wall walk, with its magnificent views of the countryside around the ancient ruins. Then go on to take a tour of the picturesque market town of Framlingham, or take a trip to nearby Woodbridge, known for its fine range of independent shops, ranging from boutiques and bookshops to delicatessens.

The seaside town of Aldeburgh is another great nearby location, with shops, art galleries and historic buildings including its Moot Hall. Don't miss seeing artist Maggi Hambling's famous Scallop statue on the beach. The town is also famed for its fish and chips – but be prepared to queue! Nearby Snape is home of the famous Maltings Concert Hall, which is best-known for its annual summer festival but also stages concerts and musical events all through the year. The complex boasts a collection of unique shops where you could find a specially-crafted Valentine's gift as a memento of your visit.

What's more, Venice isn't the only romantic location offering trips by water. If you'd like to see Suffolk from aboard a boat, why not book a trip on the restaurant ship the Lady Florence? The vessel sails from Orford all the year round and has a cosy fire aboard during winter.

Enjoy a Valentine's Meal and a Glass of Wine 
Sharing a special meal is all part of what makes Valentine's Day so special. Coastal Suffolk has many quality restaurants and idyllic country pubs for a lunch or dinner with your loved one during your Valentine's weekend. Some eateries are even putting on special menus for the occasion, for instance, the the Kings Head Inn in Orford and the Plough and Sail in Snape, where guests will be greeted with a glass of pink bubbly, and Leading restaurants such as the Galley in Woodbridge and the Lighthouse in Aldeburgh would also be the perfect place to enjoy an intimate dinner.  

However, when you are enjoying short Suffolk breaks at Windmill Lodges, you don't necessarily need to go out for your Valentine's meal, because it is also possible to dine in style at your luxury log cabin accommodation. The well-equipped kitchens make it easy to prepare a special dinner, perhaps featuring fresh Suffolk fish or meat, vegetables and fruit, with some romantic music and a glass of the wine from your welcome basket. What could be a better way to unwind and enjoy some precious time together as a couple?
