“A collection of eight rustic wooden lodges in the heart of rural Suffolk. All are finished to a very high standard with smart modern, handcrafted kitchens, luxurious bedrooms, comfy sitting areas with wood burners and vintage pieces, plus a private verandah with an outdoor tub. ”

Hotel review

Nestled in the heart of the picturesque Suffolk countryside, not far from Sutton Hoo, The Farmstead offers a luxurious and enchanting escape if you want tranquillity and relaxation in your own living space. Set amidst meadow flowers, The Farmstead boasts a genuinely idyllic location just 25 minutes from the Suffolk coast and Ipswich. Each lodge also has its own firepit and outdoor sitting area, though if you keep the veranda doors open, you have a lovely inside-outside living space leading onto a garden lined with flowers and young hedges. Of the eight lodges, four are two-bedroom (one with wheelchair access) and four one-bedroom all of which welcome dogs and children. The aim with the lodges, which opened late 2022, is to connect with the countryside using vintage and textured wood and antiques, and the attention to detail is evident in the open-plan kitchens, fully equipped with dishwater, a fridge (2 in the two-bedroom lodges), a Range cooker and a Grind coffee machine. The kitchen is handcrafted and equipeed with Soho House cutlery, glasses and plates and there is a log burner in the living room with a large, comfy sofa and telly..

Curl up under a blanket under the big starry sky or cosy in front of the wood burner on the big squishy sofa. On a sunny day, sit on the veranda, enjoy a walk in the surrounding nature or head to the Aldeburgh on the coast and a day at the beach. Countryside bliss!
