Immerse yourselves in Constable Country when you stay at this impressive, contemporary Suffolk lodge. Sleeping four guests, and welcoming two dogs, this two-bedroom retreat is situated near East Bergholt close to Dedham Vale National Landscape, where the famous English romantic artist painted much of his work. Head off for long walks through your picturesque surroundings then return to bubble in the hot tub.

Take a step up onto the wooden deck to let yourselves into this stylish, single-storey holiday haven. Enter to find light accommodation, with underfloor heating and floor-to-ceiling windows that pull the views right inside. Open the doors in the summer months so that inside and out become one. Light the Scandinavian-style wood burner on crisp autumn and winter days then settle on the soft seating to bask in its glow. Wander over to the chic kitchen space to prepare delicious meals with the fresh Suffolk farm produce you have shopped for, then dine together at the table, taking in the magnificent views. When you are ready for bed, choose between a double and a twin room. The twin bedroom has zip-and-link beds that can also be arranged as a king-size if discussed at booking. There is also a family shower room. Take your pets or children out into the partially enclosed garden to play games in the summer sunshine. Fire up the hot tub and gaze up at the stars on clear summer nights. There is private, off-road parking here for two cars.

Pull on your hiking boots or hop on the saddle and head off to explore the scenic Stour Valley. Take the children to see the animals at Colchester Zoo, 15 miles away. Plan a trip to Mersea Island, famed for its seafood, 18 miles away.
