The Firs Suffolk

A tranquil slice of rural paradise, with cosy retreats, wood-fired soaking tubs, a kitchen garden and a natural spa, all blissfully secluded close to the Suffolk coast.

Since they put down roots in 2017, The Firs' friendly owners have worked hard on transforming their beloved Suffolk location into a rural paradise.

Old farm buildings were creatively renovated, and the grounds beautifully restored, to create both a treasured home they love, and a soothing sanctuary for their lucky guests.

First: each of the 6 unique, individually-styled retreats you'll discover here feature luxury beds, roaring fireplaces, a well stocked kitchen and a wood-fired soaking tub to help you welcome the Suffolk sunset in style!

Second: the entire site is rich in glorious features that will help you relax and enjoy life in the countryside, whether that's picking fresh vegetables from the kitchen garden, cooking a sizzling supper on the firepit, spotting local wildlife in the woodland or watching the sun go down through the trees.  

You could also choose to unwind in the all-natural Piggery Spa, which comes complete with a sauna, a plunge bucket, and an al fresco shower.  

Perfect for small families, The Bushel is a spacious safari tent that sleeps two adults and two children. Complete with a private bathroom, kitchen, and dining area, you'll also have a gorgeous terrace to spend lazy afternoons on, with views of the wildlife-steeped orchard and woodland.

Leaving the kids at home? Stylish and sophisticated, The Cowshed is perfect for two: a romantic countryside retreat with an elegant superking bedroom, and a sumptuous living space that's perfect for snuggling.

But if you don't want to leave anybody off the guest list, why not hire the entire site all to yourselves? With ample room for up to 14 adults and two children, you'll get to roam the grounds at your leisure, take an energising morning swim in the moat, enjoy lazy sessions in the Piggery Spa whenever you choose and enjoy a game of boules in the newly created Petanque court in the woods, before firing up the al fresco pizza ovens for an epic evening meal!

Later, simply light the giant firepit for marshmallow-toasting and storytelling under the stars; a perfect end to a perfect day with the ones you love.

What to do when you wake up? Hire a bike on-site, or lace up your walking boots and explore the chocolate-box country lanes - there are plenty of traditional inns and picturesque villages to stop in on your way, if you should feel so inclined!

With Southwold and Aldeburgh both in easy reach, you could also enjoy a day by the sea. Enjoy ice cream and a traditional fish-and-chip supper, before returning to your country hideaway just in time to catch another golden sunset.
