This idyllic hideaway in Benhall, Suffolk, offers cosy rustic charm and characterful finishing touches, with a central open fire that creates a welcoming space after refreshing countryside walks. This romantic home is perfect for a couple or solo explorer.

After long days of soaking up the sunshine on Aldeburgh Beach, hit the snooze button when you return to this wooden-clad holiday home nestled within a peaceful hamlet. Enjoy glasses of wine while snuggling down in the lounge/kitchen/diner, where you can immerse yourselves among authentic exposed beams and the dancing flames from the wood burner. Cook, relax and dine in style with your loved one, or steal a few private moments with one of the many books in the pretty walled garden. On the mezzanine floor, an elegant super-king-size bedroom awaits sleepy heads with sumptuous linens and calming palettes. Spend blissful mornings making leisurely breakfasts in the modern kitchen space before enjoying an al fresco spread in the Suffolk air.

Take advantage of the property’s proximity to the seaside town of Aldeburgh (6 miles), and spend casual afternoons lying on the sand or dipping in and out of the waves. With fish and chip shops, fresh seafood, and ice-cream parlours, it’s a paradise of tasty treats. Discover fascinating history and shops at Saxmundham (1 mile), or venture to the Anglo-Saxon burial site of Sutton Hoo or the creative hub of Snape Maltings (both 12 miles). Wildlife enthusiasts will enjoy a visit to RSPB Minsmere (8 miles away).

The Farthings was an excellent place to stay. It is very cosy, quiet and characterful. I was lucky with the weather, so could sit in the little garden. It is perfectly placed for seeing the Suffolk coast and countryside. And the welcome goodies were appreciated . Highly recommend a stay here, and would love to return.

Would definitely return. Hide
