Long mornings, fresh produce and meadows in bloom

Spring at Retreat East

Spring is when the Suffolk countryside really comes alive at Retreat East. Hedgerows fill with blossom, the meadows are dotted with daffodils and bluebells, and the kitchen garden bursts into life with the first crops of the year. It's a season made for slow mornings, long walks and lazy lunches in the sun.

With longer days and milder weather, our 35 acres of Suffolk countryside feel more inviting than ever. Step out of your barn straight onto winding paths, watch the lambs in the neighbouring fields, or borrow a bike and explore the quiet country lanes that surround us.

Whether you're celebrating a special occasion, enjoying a quiet midweek break or treating someone to a Mother's Day spa day, spring is one of the loveliest times of year to visit Retreat East.
