Resting in a rural space with plenty of beautiful Suffolk countryside around to enjoy, this charming shepherd’s hutis ideal for those who feel the need to escape to the country but with an added touch of sophistication on the side. With your own private shower room, and toilet/kitchen facilities just a short stroll away in Abbey Hall, all you need for a comfortable stay is included. The pretty town of Eye is just a 10-minute walk away and has a typical English country feel with antique shops, delis, and that obligatory country pub to lose a Sunday afternoon in.
