Child-Friendly Staycations at Retreat East: Countryside Escapes for the Whole Family
Planning a family getaway that balances luxury, relaxation, and fun for all ages? Look no further than Retreat East. Tucked away in the heart of the Suffolk countryside, our rural haven now welcomes little explorers with open arms. The Granary and The Roost are now child friendly, so there's never been a better time to plan your next family staycation.
Family-Friendly Barns, Packed with Charm
Our beautifully converted barns offer a peaceful, private space where the whole family can unwind. The Granary and The Roost are ideal for families travelling with children — spacious, cosy, and surrounded by nature, they provide a perfect base for adventure and relaxation.
Inside, you’ll find thoughtful amenities, fully equipped kitchens, and plenty of space for board games, story time, and quiet evenings after a day spent outdoors. Outside, kids can roam freely across our safe, open grounds, explore wildflower meadows, and get up close with nature.
Adventures on Your Doorstep
A child-friendly staycation at Retreat East means adventure is always nearby. Start your mornings with a hearty breakfast and head out to discover our countryside trails – perfect for little legs and family strolls. Our free-to-use bikes (with options for all sizes) are great for cycling around the estate or exploring nearby Suffolk villages.
And if you're after something a little more structured, local attractions like the Easton Farm Park, Jimmy’s Farm & Wildlife Park, and the Suffolk Owl Sanctuary are just a short drive away — making for fantastic day trips the whole family will enjoy.
Dining for All Ages
Our on-site restaurant, The Great Barn, is proud to serve up delicious dishes crafted from locally sourced ingredients, and we’re more than happy to accommodate little ones with child-friendly menu options. Prefer to eat in your accommodation? Opt for a takeaway-style meal or fire up the BBQ (available in some properties) and enjoy a relaxed dinner at your own pace.
Relaxation for the Grown-Ups
While the kids are having fun, we haven’t forgotten about the grown-ups. Treat yourself to a spa session, yoga class, or a calming walk through the meadows. Want to really unwind? Ask about our babysitting service recommendations so you can enjoy a well-deserved break while your little ones rest.
Memories That Last a Lifetime
At Retreat East, family time doesn’t mean compromising on luxury. Our child-friendly staycations are all about making memories, whether it’s toasting marshmallows under the stars, spotting wildlife from your barn window, or enjoying a peaceful morning coffee while the kids explore the garden.
So pack up the wellies, bring your favourite bedtime story, and escape to the Suffolk countryside for a staycation the whole family will love.
