About Us At Orchard Spa Retreat
We hope you love Orchard Spa Retreat as much as we have enjoyed creating it and sharing it with our guests. Grown from the initial seed of a vision to create a luxury spa and lodge retreat. We have considered every detail from the landscape to lodge interiors, sourcing the perfect products for your treatments and even the best local gin to make sure your experience is just perfect, and you leave us feeling pampered, relaxed, and, above all, rejuvenated.
We know you’ll love your time with us and won’t want to leave!
Laura & Andrew



Norfolk's leading luxury spa Retreat
Our vision is to be Norfolk’s leading luxury spa and lodge retreat. We are known for our commitment to excellence, exceptional customer service, and a tranquil environment that allows our guests to unwind, relax, indulge and reconnect with nature and themselves.
We’ve always loved the outdoors and nature. A few years ago, we moved from West Norfolk, where we ran a successful luxury spa, to Beccles where we wanted to combine our spa experience with luxury lodges to create unique, tailored luxury breaks.
So, in 2021, we found the perfect space, surrounded by beautiful natural ponds, wildlife, breathtaking countryside, and easy access to a host of local attractions. With Laura’s exceptional beauty therapy skills, creativity, and eye for detail and Andrew’s passion for quality build and luscious landscaping, our passion for luxury breaks, Orchard Spa Retreat was created.
For the last year, we have made it our mission to create a beautiful escape where guests can relax, unwind, and recharge in the serene beauty of the Norfolk Broads. Through personalised packages and exceptional service, we strive to exceed our guests’ expectations and create unforgettable experiences.
Explore the area
We are ideally located on the Norfolk – Suffolk border in the heart of the Norfolk Broads, with award-winning beaches, fascinating historic towns, and gastro pubs and theatres close by, so when you aren’t relaxing, there is plenty to do.
With so much to do in the area, it is hard to list everything here, so we have added all our local knowledge to the welcome book in your lodge.
Orchard Spa Retreat is the perfect base
Just a few minutes away by car, enjoy the beautiful market town of Beccles. It’s a pretty market town peppered with fascinating streets featuring quirky independent artisan shops. Beccles is located on the stunning River Waveney and boasts many lovely pubs and cafes.
Historic, bustling Norwich is just 18 miles away. It is full of winding streets with boutique-style shops, shopping malls with all your favourite brands, independent bars, restaurants, and bistros alongside the famous Norwich Cathedral and the recently renovated Norwich Castle.
In The Fresh Air
If you love fresh air, Orchard Spa Retreat is the perfect base to explore the Norfolk Broads.
Why not hire a boat from nearby Beccles and enjoy the sights and little hidden pubs on The Broads? You can also easily access a range of outdoor activities, including walking, horse riding and canoe hire.
Get Some Vitamin Sea
On the stunning Suffolk coast, you’ll find some of the most charming beaches in the area, perfect for exploring during your stay at Orchard Spa Retreat.
For those looking to enjoy nature at its wildest, Southwold Denes Beach offers a more rugged experience than its bustling neighbour, Pier Beach. This peaceful stretch of sand and shingle, nestled between the dunes and marshland, is a haven for kite flyers, windsurfers, surfers, paddle boarders, and wild swimmers. The scenic River Blyth and the harbour nearby make it the perfect spot for a breezy adventure.
Southwold Beach – The quintessential seaside day out.
Southwold Beach offers a fantastic traditional British seaside experience. For those who love a traditional day by the sea, Southwold Pier Beach offers everything from sandy shores to charming beach huts (available for hire) and the iconic Edwardian pier. Grab an ice cream from a beach kiosk, take a stroll along the promenade, and soak in the nostalgic seaside atmosphere. Recently awarded Blue Flag status and a Seaside Award in 2024, Pier Beach promises a clean, safe, and beautiful stretch of coast for all.
Whether you’re after the wilder side of the coast or the classic beach day vibes, Southwold’s beaches offer something for everyone.
Or why not explore the traditional seaside towns of nearby Walberswick and Aldeburgh?
