Wondering what to expect during your stay at Retreat East? Here’s an example of what the day in life of a guest at our UK retreat might look like. 

Check-in from 3pm

Whether you’ve had a leisurely morning or have clocked off early to relax and unwind, our friendly team will be on hand to help with check-in from 3pm. Once you have checked in, our team will show you to your accommodation and leave you to get settled and maybe snap a quick room tour to post on your social media - we know we are pretty instagrammable! From there it’s up to you how you choose to spend the rest of your afternoon, opt for a spa treatment, head out for a stroll around our stunning grounds or relax in your barn with a good book - the choice is yours.

Dine in The Great Barn

As evening rolls around, join us for dinner in The Great Barn with a fantastic selection of delicious dishes on the menu to choose from, all featuring locally sourced ingredients freshly prepared by our team of expert chefs. You’ll even see ingredients featured from our very own Farm Garden. We can cater to all dietary requirements, if there is anything specific you require please contact our team ahead of your stay, so you’ll always find vegetarian, vegan and gluten free options on our menu.

Enjoy a sublime Suffolk Breakfast

We’ve got you covered when it comes to breakfast, continental is included with your stay and if you’d like to upgrade to a full Suffolk breakkie you can do so, just let us know what you’d like. With a fabulous selection of pastries, fresh fruit and cereals for you to choose from as well as a brilliant range of coffees and teas (alternative milks available) it's a great way to start your day.

Relax at the spa

After fueling for the day, head to our spa to relax and unwind. We have a range of relaxing and rejuvenating spa treatments on offer including full body massage, age-defying facial, pedicures, manicures and much more.  Pre or post treatment you can enjoy our spa facilities including sauna, steam room, cold plunge experience and rainforest showers. Use of the spa is available for both days during your stay so you can really make the most of it!

Indulge with an afternoon tea

If you really want to spoil yourself during your break with us then why not book afternoon tea, also available outside picnic style during the summer months. With a selection of cakes, freshly baked scones, sandwiches and a few extra additions on the menu, there is plenty to enjoy. Plus, why not make it extra special and add a glass or bottle of bubbles to your experience. 

Check out at 11am

Although you won’t want your break to come to an end, when it is time to check-out why not make it last that little bit extra and on your way home take a stroll around the chocolate box village of Coddenham or head down to Aldeburgh for a seaside walk, classic fish and chips or dip in the sea before heading back to reality. We promise it is a great way to finish your break with us.
