Accommodation options include six Scandi-style Lake Lodges and six Woodland Igluhuts set around ten acres of rewilded farmland on the edge of Laxfield. The lodges feature two bedrooms, king-sized beds, underfloor heating, roomy terraces and large French windows overlooking the lake. The Igluhuts are cosier, hand-built from hazel with a raised bed, shower, toilet and a compact kitchen equipped with sink, cooker, fridge/freezer, kettle and microwave. Outdoor amenities include an outdoor fire bowl, BBQs and seating. Sustainability features include renewable energy, eco toiletries, local oak and hazel and composting of food waste. No on-site catering and no Wi-Fi encourage a digital detox and local dining.
Tucked away on the edge of the village of Laxfield, Blyth Rise Stays is made up of six Scandi-style Lake Lodges and six Woodland Igluhuts. They are dotted around a ten acre patch of old farmland that has been beautifully re-wilded and landscaped by sisters Katie and Laura, and their parents Pam and Mark. The grounds really are lovely and peaceful, with each of the lodges tucked into its own tree-shaded corner, surrounded by plants and flowers.
The lodges are the larger of the two accommodation types with two bedrooms, king-sized beds, underfloor heating, roomy terraces and huge French windows looking straight out onto the lake. The Igluhuts are cosier, hand-built from hazel wood and nestled among the trees - think more a posh wooden caravan! Sustainability is baked into everything here, from renewable energy and eco toiletries to the use of local oak and hazel in the huts. Even the food waste gets composted back into the soil.
We stayed in an Igluhut which comes with a cosy raised bed on one side, a shower and toilet on the other, and in between a more than decent kitchen with sink, cooker, fridge/freezer, kettle, and microwave. You can easily cook a full on meal in here, though we mostly satisfied ourselves with salad and local seafood like dressed crab. They also manage to fit in two armchairs and a fold away table - perfect for after-dinner Scrabble sessions.
