Location & Local Attractions

There are plenty of ways to soak up Suffolk's natural beauty and explore, either directly from the doorstep of your luxury private barn or a short car journey away. 

The quaint seaside towns of Aldeburgh and Southwold are a short journey away. Thorpeness is a famous holiday village with a whimsical literary link. The picturesque ‘mere' is vast- covering over 60,000 acres with various islands and inlets. The Meare comprises many little islands, all named by J.M Barrie, author of Peter Pan and visitors can take to one of the many little boats available to hire and drift between fairytale settings such as the pirate's lair and Wendy's house.

Snape Maltings sits on the bank of the River Alde, surrounded by an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, just six miles from Aldeburgh. Visit their shop for dreamy interiors and homemade produce.

Ipswich is just under 20 minutes' drive away from Retreat East, and Woodbridge, a pretty market town on the River Deben is 25 minutes away.
