Immerse yourself in the tranquillity of the Suffolk countryside and experience a truly romantic escape in your own private shepherd's hut. Nestled in the idyllic Waveney Valley, this enchanting retreat comes with everything you need for a truly memorable stay, including a cosy electric wood burner set in the corner of the living space.

Ascend three steps to enter this well-equipped hut, where the enchanting open-plan living area awaits. Here, you can savour the panoramic view, with the double doors inviting the outside in on warmer days, or enjoy the comforting warmth of the electric wood burner on chilly evenings. The cleverly designed compact kitchen, tucked away at the back of the hut, provides all the necessary amenities to whip up a storm. A raised sleeping area occupies one side of the hut, while ample storage space ensures a clutter-free environment. At the opposite end, a modern shower room awaits. Step outside and find yourself in your own private garden, where a fire pit invites you to gather under the starry night sky or bask in the lingering summer sunshine. Relax at the table and chairs, taking in the peaceful ambience and keeping an eye out for the captivating wildlife that frequent the garden.

Should you require any essentials, a shop is located just 5 miles away, while the welcoming village pub is just over a mile from your doorstep. Explore the picturesque countryside with scenic walks or bike rides through the surrounding fields and woodlands. Visit nearby attractions such as the Norfolk and Suffolk Aviation Museum (4.5 miles) or discover the area's rich history through the medieval churches and ruins scattered throughout the region. For a day at the seaside, head 15 miles to Southwold and enjoy its colourful beach huts, promenade and historic pier.

This is ideal for two people. We loved the peaceful, rural situation which nevertheless had numerous lovely towns and villages within east reach.

We had the most lovely stay at 'Shep'. Set in a beautiful meadow with its own parking, table and chairs, fire pit and hammock. Inside it is a pretty and thoughtfully designed space with everything that we needed to enjoy our stay. The bed is very comfortable. We stayed in August but this would be lovely in colder times with its electric stove that Read morelooks just like a wood burning stove in the corner! I highly recommend The Orchard's Retreat Shepherd's Hut. Hide

A lovely shepherds hut good size & with all the modern conveniences. Located on farmland, a careful drive is all that is needed to all the local amenities. Lots to see and do in the area. Lovely location in an orchard with sheep & wildlife, perfect for relaxing. I plan to return when the weather is warmer & dryer.

This beautifully converted Shepherd's Hut is located on a working farm in the picturesque Suffolk countryside. You really get the sense of being in the middle of nowhere and feels like the perfect place to relax, switch off and explore the best of what the Suffolk countryside has to offer. A must visit!
