Retreat East  

Out in the Suffolk countryside near Ipswich and Hemingstone, this restored dairy farm is a rural wellness retreat. It’s within a 10-minute drive of Bramford Golf Centre and Brooke House, a few miles from Blakenham Woodland Garden and the Ipswich waterfront, and just a stone’s throw from Woodbridge and the Suffolk coast. Pet-friendly and perfectly set for country escapes.

Many rooms have kitchens, private balconies or patios, flat-screen TVs and coffee/tea makers, plus the original farmhouse character and private outdoor spaces for easy downtime. The vibe is rustic-meets-luxury with simple, stylish finishes.
