Just an after thought after a stroll at Needham Lakes, but glad we went, tasty food and a farmers market, with pottery and a jewelry outlet on site.
Chris Reeve · 30 October 2026
Toad Hall offers lovely Lodge accommodation with excellent cooking and shower facilities. The beds are great as are the showers. The location is peaceful and we enjoyed watching the sunset over the fields next to the lodges. It's proximity to Southwold, Minsmere and the coast makes it a great spot. A great place to relax and unwind. Gavin is an excellent host who was keen to ensure our stay was as good as it could be.
