About High Lodge
Excellent facilities, luxury accommodation and 100 acres of beautiful Suffolk countryside – just a few reasons why we love High Lodge in Darsham. There’s a 9 hole golf course, a well stocked fishing lake – and the gorgeous beaches of Dunwich and Southwold are just a few miles away. Cycling, walking and the beautiful gardens at Bressingham and Ipswich will make this holiday one to remember!
As well as golf and coarse fishing, you can try your hand at clay pigeon shooting – there’s expert tuition available if you want it. The clubhouse and bar both serve a good variety of food and the surrounding towns and villages have an excellent choice of pubs and restaurants. We love the Lady Florence River Cruise Restaurant which sets sail from Orford for a cruise, while you enjoy either a champagne brunch or a delicious dinner.
Many of the lodges have their own hot tubs on private, furnished verandahs. Swift Lodge VIP 4 sleeps four people in a double bedroom and a twin. It has a flat screen TV, a DVD player and even an iPod docking station. You can take in the beautiful views across the lakes from the privacy of your own hot tub!
Suffolk is full of visitor attractions and the perfect choice (in our opinion) for a holiday. The town of Snape Maltings is a great place to visit with its interesting, independent shops and the farmers’ markets - and of course, Great Yarmouth is a bustling seaside town with lots going on. The pier is now used for regular entertainment, including stand up comedy and live music.

"We had a fantastic stay and can't wait to come back again!"
"Really enjoyed the experience"
"Lovely lodge overlooking the lake. A bit confused as to why the fishing posts are we're they are but didn't use it as we do not fish !"
"Our High Lodge review: We had a really relaxing stay, with fantastic fishing just outside the lodge. Theres loads of interesting spots nearby too. The lodge itself was spacious, comfy and well kitted out."
"We had such a lovely stay! The lodge was spotlessly clean and had modern touches that made everything feel fresh. The bed was super comfy with plenty of pillows and those homemade treats from the local bakery were a real highlight. Great value too!"
"Really enjoyed the stay"
"Really enjoyed the stay"
"We really enjoyed our stay! It was super relaxing and ideal for both couples and families. Definitely worth adding a small play area for the little ones to enjoy more fun."
"We had such a great family getaway, really needed that break after all the stress lately. Definitely coming back soon!"
"We loved it so much that we're eager to book again this year, but most dates seem to be fully booked already, which is a bit of a shame."
"Really enjoyed our stay here"
"We really enjoyed fishing and trying clay shooting for the first time, lovely views!"
"Overall, we had a lovely stay, though a few items were missing in the kitchen. The shower couldve been warmer, which was a bit of a letdown. The lounge was smaller than expected, but everything else was quite good - we enjoyed it!"
"Looking forward to our next visit, it was genuinely a lovely experience."
"We had a fantastic time! Plenty of activities, chill moments and quality family time-definitely recommend it."
"Good vibes, just didnt eat there."
"Really peaceful and beautiful setting"
"Weve been visiting High Lodge for years now and honestly, were already looking forward to coming back next year. Love it!"
"Really enjoyed the stay"
"We had a wonderful stay, definitely returning!"
"Looking forward to returning soon"
"We totally enjoyed our stay at high lodge it was peaceful and relaxing . We are planning to go again. Hopefully soon"
"We were a party of 6 ladies celebrating a 60th Birthday.
The setting of our Lodge was wonderful, peaceful and with lots of wildlife including some cheeky hares, ducks and other birds.
We didn’t use any of the facilities. The restaurant had limited opening times which didn’t suit us.
Something tripped our power and we had to call out of hours and they were exceptionally helpful. Great communications and someone came to check too.
Lovely hot tub which seemed to work better after the electrical issue!
Comfortable beds, good outdoor table and seating and the kitchen was equipped sufficiently to cook basic meals. The dishwasher was a little unpredictable.
The check in was very limited - open from 4.00pm to 5.00pm which when travelling a distance we felt was a little unreasonable. Email details were sent on how to access as we were still travelling at 5.00pm.
It did feel a little remote and you need a car to get anywhere really. However if you want a break where you stay on site, participate in High Lodge activities such as the target sports and fishing then it would suit you well.
Overall we enjoyed our weekend break and would recommend."
"Lovely peaceful setting, apart from clay shooting, but I expected that.. cafe was clean and pleasant with lovely staff, both there and on reception. I did have a broken window latch, which I reported, but nothing done about it. Cabin could be easily accessed while I was away. A bit of concern for me. I am what you’d call a person with walking difficulties, but I am able to climb a few steps and walk short distances over gravel paths. I’m not sure if you cater for wheelchair/mobility scooter users but the gravel could be very difficult. Perhaps a couple of hard surface disability parking spaces outside reception would be useful, therefore enabling easy access to the cafe etc.. do you even have any cabins accessible for wheelchairs? It would be good if you have , because the cabins are roomy enough inside. A wet room shower room would probably be needed. I loved the way the cabins all overlooked the lake, without looking into each other’s accommodation."
"A most enjoyable and relaxing stay would thoroughly recommend this site"
"Perfect place for relaxation and peace with everything we needed in a superb lodge."
"the lodge was superb and spotless.staff were very very friendly.only thing lacking was air con but we had taken our own fan.will not rate the restaurant as we did not use ."
"Friendly welcome beautiful surroundings lodges are very well equipped the with lovely furniture and comfy beds.
Nicely situated around the lake with privacy for all."
"My husband had an accident whilst on holiday and the staff went above and beyond the call of duty in their help and support.
We were unable to use the facilities but the location was stunning."
"Had a great time and have already recommended to others"
"Excellent lovely place to stay very clean and quiet"
"Very peaceful you just unwind"
