Idyllic escapes in the heart of Suffolk
Welcome
Escape to the heart of the Suffolk countryside, where we have reimagined the Good Life at our sustainable retreat, regenerated from a former dairy farm. We would love to welcome you to experience luxury at our dog friendly countryside haven. We offer 28 beautiful barns and rooms that can be booked either individually or as part of a package for events such as weddings and corporate retreats. Indulge at our award-winning restaurant, relax with our rejuvenating spa treatments or recharge with several fun activities. Our activities include cycling, axe throwing, archery, gym, Nordic walking, yoga and more. Sustainability is at the heart of what we do, and we strive to be as environmentally conscious as possible. From our farm garden, where our vegetables for our restaurant and farm shop are served, to the energy and water conservation systems, we are committed to doing all that we can.
