The Philosophy of The Suffolk Escape
Stop, Relax & Unwind
Here at the Suffolk Escape we have tried to create the perfect destination to be able stop, relax and unwind. We know this is a crucial element of what we offer as we have had thousands of guests arriving all telling us the same thing when we ask them what their plans are “we just need to relax and do nothing, we have been so busy…”.
We see so many guests arrive with plans of things to head out to see and do…but time after time on departure we hear their plans changed. They got to our logs cabins or self catering barn and very soon found themselves so relaxed that they barely left their property…they just needed to switch off and recharge and our properties are the perfect vehicle for that.
We have even rebranded our business with the tag line “Stop, Relax & Unwind” and ensure we consider that mantra in all we do. So when you look to escape in one of our log cabins or our Sheepyard Barn we hope you will find lots of big and small elements to help you truly relax.
Our log cabins offer the perfect self catering holiday property in which to relax. One of the key factors is that the lodges are adults only making them perfect retreat and as we only have four cabins on the site all set around a lake makes it a tranquil setting.
Inside the cabins the bedroom feature huge emperor beds to slumber in and large ensuites with beautiful stone baths, perfect for long hot soaks.
In the living space there is a big kitchen for easy cooking, comfy sofas to sink into and a wood burning stoves to snuggle up in-front of on winters evenings.
Outside the cabins there is a dining deck over the water, outdoor sofas on the water’s edge with a chiminea for star gazing evenings and each cabins has a hot tub overlooking the lake to sooth any tired muscles.
At the Sheepyard Barn we built generous sized bedrooms all with ensuites, there is a large open plan living space so everyone can be together, we had a huge bespoke sofa created which can seat everyone, the building is fully underfloor heated and even has an air filtration system to help those with allergies.
We have an indoor swimming pool for the barn guests which is perfect to relax in or keep the children occupied on rainy days.
There is a huge hot tub with stunning views over the valley and to escape the sun we built an outdoor lounge with hammocks. So parents can relax whilst the children play, we even sunk our trampoline in the ground so it safer.
Nothing helps sooth tired bodies more than a relaxing spa treatment and to make this as stress free as possible you can arrange for treatments inside our Log Cabins and Sheepyard Barn. Our mobile therapist sets up and creates a blissful atmosphere complete with candles and calming music.
We have worked with Renee for over two years and all of our guests have been delighted with their treatments and how relaxed Renee makes them feel.
There is a wide range of treatments available and, as this is a mobile service, you get great value as you are not paying for all the overheads of a spa venue. But do book direct with Renee early as it is very popular!
Hot tubs are the perfect way to unwind and relax on holiday recovering from a tough week of work or after a day’s exploring Suffolk and they are also well known for their hydrotherapy benefits.
It has been said that spending 30 minutes a day in a hot tub will make you feel healthier and live longer, so make the most of the hot tubs.
At our self-catering log cabins you will find the hot tubs at each cabin overlooking the lake and at the Sheepyard Barn the hot tub is hidden away and overlooks the fields where you can spot deer passing by.
Treat yourself to an unforgettable dining experience with your very own private chef who will come to your accommodation and cook a delicious, seasonal meal for you and your guests.
Marcus, the private chef, has been providing guests at the Sheepyard Barn and the log cabins with a relaxing, nutritious and thoroughly enjoyable evening with his private chef service for a number of years now.
He’ll guide you through selecting a menu of your choice, will bring his own equipment and even clear up after! No cooking, no driving and nothing to do but enjoy your evening and a delicious three course meal.
