Anna and Charles welcome you to the Garden Lodge. If you are seeking B&B accommodation in the Newmarket area, we are confident that our guest rooms offer everything you might wish for.

The Lodge is a beautifully furnished Swedish log cabin standing in its own garden, open all year. The guesthouse has three bedrooms, all of which are en-suite with TV, tea/coffee facilities, and a minibar/refrigerator. All rooms have their own front door so guests may come and go as they please.

We welcome single people and couples, as well as families with children (we can provide a Graco cot for babies and toddlers). Special beds allow us to arrange the rooms as single, double or twin, as you prefer. (The Lodge has three separate guest rooms, so we can accommodate up to six people at a time.)

The very high standard of our accommodation is reflected in the 4 diamonds rating we have been awarded by the AA.

There is off-road parking for your car, and the Lodge enjoys its own secluded part of the garden looking out over tree-lined meadows. We give our visitors a key to their own front door, so you can come and go whenever you want. Our B&B is open all year round, for short breaks, business trips, and longer holidays.

There is a hairdryer, iron, and ironing board provided in each room.

Pets are welcome by prior arrangement, and for the comfort of all we are a non smoking establishment. Breakfasts are served at a time to suit you, not us - no matter how early.

Our aim is for you to enjoy a happy, comfortable stay. If you have any concerns or requests, please do not hesitate to ask!

Situated in the pretty village of Woodditton on the Suffolk/Cambs border, the Lodge is only 3 miles from the racing centre of Newmarket, and a similar distance from both the Rowley Mile racecourse, the July racecourse and thoroughbred sales at Tattersalls.

Newmarket: a turf enthusiast's paradise

Garden Lodge is only a short drive (3 miles) from Newmarket, the centre of flat racing in England. Racegoers will find much of interest to visit: as well as meetings held almost weekly throughout the summer (we are 2-3 miles from both the Rowley Mile racecourse and the July racecourse), there are the thoroughbred sales at Tattersalls, for example. Another tourist attraction is the Horse Racing Museum, which is open daily and serves tea, coffee and excellent light lunches.

Tours of nearby racing stables and the National Stud can also be arranged. Please contact us in advance so we can make arrangements to suit your holiday plans.

Newmarket Nights: concerts at the racecourse

Between the end of June and and the middle of August, top bands perform after certain Friday night race meetings, and entrance is by ticket only. Ask us for assistance, as early booking is essential. Past performers have included Liberty X, the Hollies and Atomic Kitten. Acts for 2005 include Ronan Keating, Jools Holland and his Rhythm and Blues Orchestra, Will Young, and Status Quo.

Duxford: aviation heaven

Fans of military and historic aircraft will enjoy a visit to the Imperial War Museum at Duxford (30 minutes by car), which not only has exhibitions and static displays of over 180 aircraft (including biplanes, Spitfires, Concorde and Gulf War jets), but also hosts several spectacular airshows each year, where you can watch the planes in the air.
